In Miro, you can share your boards with collaborators anywhere. There are several ways to invite users to your boards. Let's take a closer look at each of them.
How to invite to a board
Who can do it: team members with editing and invite rights in board sharing permissions
By default, board editors who are members of the team can share the board with other users. Board owners and co-owners on paid plans can restrict this option for board editors.
There are two ways to share a board:
Share option in the top right corner of the board
Ways to share Miro boards
Share Miro boards via Slack, email, private link, publicly, with the whole team, company, and via a project.
Inviting from Slack
- Click the Share button in the top-right corner of the board.
- Under the Invite tab, click Slack.
- You will be redirected to the authorization page.
Sharing a Miro board via Slack
After successful authorization, you will see a list of your Slack contacts. Select a person (or several to invite in bulk) you'd like to share a board with, specify the access rights level and click Send invitations.
Inviting a Slack contact to edit the board
Inviting via email
- Click the Share button in the top-right corner of the board.
- Under the Invite tab, enter the email addresses of your invitees, and set their access rights. Add spaces to separate emails.
- Click Send invitations.
Inviting collaborators from the board share dialog
Your invitees will get a notification about the invite (registered users will get the invite if this is allowed in their notification settings). If an invitee is not yet registered they can follow the instructions in the email that will guide them through the registration procedure and then go to the board.
💡 To make the email invitation process easier, link your Gmail account to enable the auto-complete function. Learn more about connecting Gmail to Miro.
Inviting as a guest or as a member
When you share a board over email or Slack with a user who is not a member of your team, you can either invite them to the team or make them a board guest depending on your plan and invitation settings. Learn whether the option to invite guests is available for you.
Sharing boards via a public link
- Click the Share button in the top-right corner of the board.
- Under the Invite tab, go to Anyone with the link, and choose between view, comment, and edit access for your board visitors.
- Click Copy board link and send it to your future collaborators.
✏️ Sharing boards with Visitors may not be possible if your Enterprise Admin has restricted public sharing. Please contact your Admin if this sharing option is unavailable to you.
✏️ Boards shared via a public link with the setting all users can edit are editable by users with a Free Restricted license.
✏️ The option to share with commenter/editor rights via a public link is not available on the Free plan.
Enabling public access to the board
People who follow your link won’t need to register with Miro to access the board. Learn more about sharing Miro boards with visitors.
⚠️ Miro strives to keep public boards from being indexed by search engines like Google or Bing. However, anyone with the link can access these boards, and the link might be shared beyond your intended audience. Depending on your Miro plan, you can enhance security by setting a password for your public board.
Sharing boards and inviting to the team via a link
Relevant for: Free, Starter, and Education plans
To enable sharing via a link, the Admin needs to open Team Settings > Permissions > Invitation settings and toggle on Enable team invite link.
Admins can enable team invite link
- Click the Share button in the top-right corner of the board.
- Under the Invite tab, go to Invite to team and board.
- Set the access level.
- Click Copy team invite link and send it to your team members. Once an invitee clicks the link, they will be asked to sign in to Miro. The user will become a member of your team and get instant access to the board.
Sharing board and inviting to the team via a link
As long as the team invite link is activated in the settings, users can join boards and the team via the link. Once this option is deactivated, all previously sent invite links will expire and new users won’t be able to join boards and the team with this link anymore.
If a Team Admin restricts non-admin team members from inviting new users but still allows the team invite link in invitation settings, the option to copy the link will disappear from the Share dialog for non-admin team members. However, users will still be able to join the team via the link if it had been shared with them previously (unless the Admin deactivates the link in Team settings).
Sharing boards and inviting to the team via a Guest link
Available for: Business PlanInvite Guests to a board or to your team using a private link. This option only appears in your Share dialog if Guests are allowed in your team invitation settings.

- Under the Invite tab, next to Invite guests click the dropdown to grant View, Comment, Edit or No access
- Click Copy guest link
- Share the link directly with the user you wish to invite as a Guest
✏️ For security purposes, guest links expire after 30 days. To ensure access after 30 days, you must generate a new link and re-send to guests.

Start view
Who can do it: board editors who can share the board
Setting a start view is a great way to focus a collaborator's attention on a specific part of your board. When you share a board for the first time, you can set the board's start view. This is the place on the board that newly invited users are taken to when they access the board for the first time. If you don't set a start view, the entire board is shown.
Setting the start view
How to reset the start view
To reset the start view, in the Board bar select the vertical three dots. The Main menu opens. Select Board > Start view. You can now reset the start view.
Stop sharing a board
You can stop sharing a board with your collaborators at any time. To change an individual user’s access:
- Click the Share button in the top-right corner of the board (or use the three dots (...) icon from the dashboard and then click Share).
- Click Manage access in the share dialog.
- Choose the person whose rights you wish to modify, and set their new access level (edit, comment, view) or click Remove.
If the board is shared via other means (with the whole team, a project, company, or publicly), the user whose rights have been degraded may retain the previous level of access via team/project/company/public sharing. Learn how to see who has access to your board.
Removing a user's access from a board
💡 If you are the board owner, you can also reassign ownership to another user.
Publish your board
You can also share a board by saving it as a template for your team to use, or publish it to Miroverse.
- Click the Share button in the top-right corner of the board.
- Under the Publish tab, choose either Save as template or Publish template.
