Miro Engage lets you run interactive meetings and workshops with live polls, word clouds and Q&A directly on your Miro board or from attendees’ phones. Present with Miro Slides, capture input in real time, and connect outcomes to ongoing work—all in one workspace.

What is Miro Engage (and when to use it)?

Miro Engage is Miro’s built-in environment for interactive meetings and workshops. It unifies content co-creation, live engagement activities (polls, word clouds, open questions) and insight capture, so outcomes link straight to ongoing work—ideal for all-hands, trainings, roadshows, and large hybrid sessions. Participants can join from the board or their phones.

Why it matters: it removes the “slides here, voting tool there, follow-up elsewhere” problem. You present, engage, and act in one place.

Core features you’ll use most

• Live engagement activities: multiple-choice polls, word clouds, and open-ended questions that visualise input in real time.

• Frictionless participation at scale: attendees contribute from any device—useful for conference-size audiences.

• Miro Slides: transform board content into structured, interactive decks; update live during delivery.

• Interactive presentation modes & timers/voting: keep energy high and decisions clear.

Quick start: set up your first Engage session

1. Pick the session type and goals (e.g., “30-min roadmap update with 2 polls and one Q&A”).

2. Create/open your board and add frames for: Agenda → Content → Activities → Actions.

3. Add engagement widgets

   • Poll: drop a poll widget; add 2–5 options; set duration and whether to show results live.

   • Word cloud: add prompt (e.g., “What’s your biggest risk this quarter?”).

   • Open Q&A: collect questions as sticky notes or use open-ended activity; cluster by theme.

4. Build your deck in Miro Slides

   • Generate slides from the board; keep each frame to one idea; embed live diagrams and tables.

5. Dry-run with a moderator

   • Assign roles: host (narrates), moderator (manages activities), scribe (turns input into actions).

6. Invite participants

   • Share board link/QR; tell people they can join from their phones for quick voting and input.

7. Go live

   • Start Slides, launch poll/word cloud mid-flow, capture Q&A; time-box each activity.

8. Turn input into action

   • Convert the top items into cards/tasks on the same board (or hand off to your work tool).

Pro tips (to run sessions people love)

• Open strong: a 30-second word cloud warms up large rooms and surfaces themes early.

• One activity per 8–10 minutes: keep momentum; alternate content and interaction.

• Show the loop closing: after Q&A, summarise “what we’re changing” on the board; this builds trust and repeat attendance.

• Reuse your kit: keep a “Playground” board/template for polls, word clouds and timers to duplicate for each event.

Example agendas you can copy

• All-hands (45 mins): Wins → Roadmap (Slides) → Poll: confidence check → Word cloud: risks → Q&A → Actions & owners.

• Workshop (90 mins): Icebreaker word cloud → Lightning talks (Slides) → Open responses → Cluster & vote → Action board.

• Product review (30 mins): Demo (Slides with live diagrams) → Poll on priority → Q&A → Decide next iteration.

Troubleshooting & governance

• Large audiences: encourage phone participation; keep instructions on a “How to join” slide with QR.

• Decision clarity: use Voting for selection and capture rationale next to results.

• Follow-through: export or sync actions to your task tool after the session to prevent drift.

Where Engage fits with your stack

Miro’s workspace connects with 250+ apps, so engagement doesn’t live in a silo. Pair Engage/Slides with your project tools (e.g., Asana) to move from input to execution seamlessly.
