Profile and teams
Every Miro user has their own profile which is basically your email address that all teams (or accounts) you set up/join are attached. Team, or account, is a space where your boards are stored and where you can invite new members. You can be a member of multiple teams (accounts).
When registering a profile, you can create your own free team or join existing teams where you've been invited to or which are discoverable for you.
If you're already a member of someone's team but would like to create your own account, you can
- leave the teams you're a member of. Once there're no teams left in your profile, you will be suggested to create your own free one;
- create a new paid team by clicking the plus icon on the left sidebar of your dashboard.
Unlimited team members
We believe in teamwork, and want to provide the best experience for teams to collaborate without any boundaries or limits. All invited users are automatically added to your team and get access to all boards (no private boards are allowed on Free plan).
All team members can:
-
create their own boards,
-
view, comment or edit all active boards (depending on the decision of the Board owner),
-
use all features of the Free plan,
- invite other members if this is allowed in Team settings.
⚠️ Every user that you invite to your boards via email on Free plan gets added to your team.
If you're a team admin, you can remove users from your team at any moment. To learn more about team management, check out this article.
Board access on Free plan
Please note that if you invite other users to collaborate on your Free plan, you are granting access for them to view all of your boards on your dashboard. All boards created in a free team get automatically shared with the whole team. Board privacy within a team is only supported on paid plans.
Unlimited boards
The team members can create as many boards as they want, all of them will be saved in your account. There is no need to share your boards - they all are visible and available to all the team members.
Please note, that only 3 most recently created boards in your account are available for editing and collaboration with your team. The rest of your boards are inactive and are locked in a view-only mode. To edit inactive boards you can delete unnecessary active boards, create copies of inactive ones, or upgrade your account.
Dashboard with inactive boards
If you have more than 3 boards, when you create a new board you will see the following message with the board name that will be locked:
You are over active boards limit
Upgrade
All team members can upgrade the free team to any of the paid plans at any point to get access to Miro advanced features. If you're a small team that would like to get access to more cool collaboration features, feel free to choose Team plan.

Downgrading to Free Plan
After downgrading to Free plan all private boards become inactive. They won't affect the limit of the active boards available. If a private board is within 3 board limitation you can share it with the team to enable editing, or purchase a subscription.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I be alone on my free team?
- Yes. Unless you invite new users to the team created by you or to your boards, only you have access to your content. You can see the list of your team members in Team settings > Active users. - Can I decide which of the boards will be active in my free team?
- No, those are always 3 most recently created boards. You can delete unnecessary ones that belong to you, duplicate inactive boards, or upgrade your team. - Can I change my board to view-only for my team on Free plan?
- Yes, you can. Though all boards in a free team can be accessed by all team members, you can downgrade team access to viewing only: open the board's Share menu, choose Can view for team access to the board. Note that if you're not the Board owner you should be explicitly invited to the board as an Editor - otherwise, your access will be limited as well.
