Add Miro as a tab in Microsoft Teams

Available for: Free, Starter, Business, Education, Enterprise plans, and all Microsoft 365 plans

Users can add Miro boards to Microsoft Teams meetings, channels, and calendar events to seamlessly collaborate and share access with other team members.
In this article, you will learn how to use Miro within:

• Microsoft Teams meetings
• Microsoft Teams calendar events
• Microsoft Teams channels and chats

Add Miro in Microsoft Teams meetings

• Users who join a meeting in MS Teams via mobile or tablet can only view an attached Miro board and cannot edit or comment on it.
• Any Microsoft Teams user who has authorized the Miro app can add Miro to the meeting. Any Teams user with a Miro profile can share a board to center stage.
• Microsoft does not support the ability for guest users to use apps in a Teams meeting, users must be logged into Teams in order to use any apps (including Miro).

1. Click on the dropdown More actions.
2. Select +Add an app.
3. Search for Miro and click on the Miro icon.
4. Here, you will be asked to sign up or sign in to your Miro profile.
5. Select which board you want to share or choose to create a new, blank Miro board.
6. Set permissions for the rest of the meeting participants and give or restrict access to the board. You can choose from these permission types:

• Anyone can edit (no sign-in to Miro required)
• Anyone can comment (no sign-in required, not supported for boards located in a Free team)
• Anyone can view (no sign-in required)
• Private (only those who have previously had access to the board can collaborate)
  

“Anyone can edit, comment or view” allows anyone in your Microsoft Teams tenant to access the board. This includes:

• Other Miro users from outside your organization
• Users who do not have a Miro profile
• Users in your organization that are not logged in to Miro

✏️ Sharing settings that are set for a board in Miro can also define the board access within Microsoft Teams. If the board is shared publicly in Miro, it will be available for anyone in Microsoft Teams even if you have pinned the board as Private. However, if your board is private on the Miro side and you pinned it with Anyone can view/comment/edit access, board access on the Miro side will not be affected. Learn more.

✏️ For Enterprise Plan Miro users, your access settings will follow organization-wide access controls. Public link sharing for embeds needs to be enabled by admins in Company settings > Security. Learn more in Managing Enterprise sharing policy for embed integrations.

If you need to change access rights for an embedded board, remove the tab and re-add it with a different access level.

Now you can access the Miro board any time during the meeting in the specific tab. If you create multiple boards, there will be a single tab for each board.

If you click on Miro, you will see the Miro tab pop up on the right side with the board you have attached to this meeting.

You can select the Share-to-Stage button to send the board to all the participants and collaborate together at the same time. You can stop sharing the board any time by clicking the Stop presenting button at the top.

Pin boards to Microsoft Teams calendar events

✏️ Outlook calendar is not yet supported.

• Teams calendar events must be saved and have at least one attendee before a Miro board can be attached to the meeting.
• There is no way to remove a Miro board from a Teams meeting invite (Microsoft reference article). Users have to delete the invite and create a new one without a board.

1. First, schedule a new Microsoft Teams calendar meeting. Make sure to add a name for the meeting and invite attendees.
2. Click Send to share the invitation.
3. Once the meeting is saved, click on the meeting again and select Edit, so you can attach a Miro board.
4. You will be able to pin Miro as a tab using the plus sign at the top of the screen (+).
5. On the next screen, you will be prompted to add the Miro app. Either search for Miro in the search bar or select Miro if you already see it.
6. Select Add so you can add Miro.
7. You will be asked to sign in to your Miro profile inside Teams.
8. Once you sign in to Miro, you will be asked to select which board you want to add to the meeting. You can search and select an existing board or create a new blank board.
9. Here, you can also set permissions for the rest of the meeting participants and give or restrict access to the board. Then select Save so you can attach the selected Miro board to the Teams meeting. You can choose from these permission types:

• Anyone can edit (no sign-in required)
• Anyone can comment (no sign-in required)
• Anyone can view (no sign-in required)
• Private
