Miro board
Show a live Miro board inside a slide, between your polls, quizzes and games.
What is Miro board?
A Miro slide shows a live Miro board inside your presentation. Walk the room through a board you already built — a brainstorm, a user journey, a retro, a project plan — and put interactive EngageSlide questions before and after it, without switching tools. The board loads live, so you see its current content and can move around it while you present. Optionally, participants can open the board on their phones too.

On the audience side
By default, phones show the slide title and View on presenter screen, so everyone follows the board on the big screen. Switch on Display the embed link on the audience view. to load the board on every phone as well, so people can zoom in and read the details themselves. What they can do on the board depends on the board’s sharing settings in Miro.

- Retrospectives: show the team’s retro board before agreeing on actions.
- Planning: present a roadmap, user journey or project plan and take questions.
- Teaching: walk through a mind map or diagram built in Miro.
