1. Welcome: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the very first lesson
of our Mirror course. First of all, I want to
sincerely thank you for choosing this training among
so many other options available here on the platform. It really means a lot to me that you've placed
your trust in my work. Thank you for that. If we haven't met yet,
my name is Mattis. I'm a digital entrepreneur
working in the area of product importation from the United States
and beyond that, I'm also an investor, YouTube content creator, and educator in the field of
personal development, a topic I've not only
studied extensively, but have also deeply applied
in my own life and career. So everything I bring to
you here isn't just theory, it's the result of
practical experience and consistent application. This training we'll dive into everything you need
to know about Miro. We'll start from the basics, understanding what Miro is, how its tools function, and how to use it
effectively in teams and then advance into
more strategic uses that will help you
significantly boost your productivity and
collaboration on projects. This lesson is just a
brief introduction, so you know what to
expect from the course. Truly hope you'll stay with
me until the end and that the insights and tools you gain here will help elevate
your productivity, whether in your job,
personal projects, studies, or wherever else
you choose to apply it. So let's get started. I'll see you in the next lesson. A big hug, and once again,
thank you for being here.
2. What is Miro, how the tool works, and its strategic advantages: Now let's understand
what Miro actually is, how it works, and what
its main uses are. In a simple and
straightforward way, Miro is an online
collaboration platform that allows you to create, organize, and share ideas
in a remote workspace, functioning like a
digital whiteboard, which is super useful, especially if you're
dealing with teamwork or structuring ideas alone in
a more visual and flexible. By using Miro, you
can insert images, post its, sketches, and much more in a
completely remote way. Being able to organize
all your projects. Whether you're creating
a project from scratch, managing a team or just trying to put your
ideas in order, Miro becomes that place where everything starts to make
more sense visually. And what are the
advantages of using Miro? Well, there are two advantages. The first advantage is the
online collaboration process. You are working on a project or for a company entirely remotely, using Mirror as a
collaboration tool can be a great idea because as it works like a online whiteboard, it has various functionalities
that can assist you significantly during the development
of your projects, especially if your team is spread out in different places, you can align everything
in one space in real time, which saves a lot of time
and avoids confusion. Another advantage
of using Mirror is that it has a very
interactive presentation. It could be considered
a digital whiteboard. It contains various
interactive features that I will show you
throughout the course. And this makes the development of any project interesting. It's not just functional,
it's dynamic. So if you're someone who
values clarity, creativity, and structure, you'll probably feel very comfortable using it. Where can I use Mirror? So here on the computer screen, I have created
this mini mind map for you within the
Mirror platform I will show you some places
where you can use this tool. One of the use cases for the Mirror tool is
through remote meetings, as it could be considered
a digital whiteboard. You can insert various
elements that I will show you throughout the
course and you can easily conduct online meetings. If you have a remote
work focused company, are working on a project or
school college meetings, Miro can be a very
interesting tool. Another aspect
where Miro is also very useful is during
the coworking process. What is coworking Matthias? Coworking is nothing more than collaborative work that falls under the project
development section. As by using the Miro tool here, you can build
roadmaps, brainstorm, perform a SWOT analysis of a specific project or
company, even about yourself. Create mind maps
like in this lesson. You can also build presentations somewhat similar to
PowerPoint presentation. Best part is that the
presentations you can create within Miro
are highly interactive, making the presentation
process very interactive. Then you can use this
presentation process for presenting a class, a college assignment,
a workshop, a specific lesson, as I
am showing here to you, and countless other features you can use Miro as an
auxiliary tool for. These are not all the places
where you can use Mirror. In fact, it is a
tool that covers various areas that can further maximize your productivity
in your work, projects, and many other areas.
3. Step by step guide to creating your Miro account: So, guys, in this lesson, I'm going to show
you how to create a Mirror account step by step. Well, here on the
computer screen, I'm inside my Google browser, and you can search for Mirror. Or instead of
searching for Mirror, you can click on the link
within the resources option in this lesson where I will provide the link to the Mirror
platform for you. Which in this case would
be this page here. Miro, the Visual collaboration
platform for all teams. Entering the link, you
will land exactly on this page where you can create your account completely free. Is Miro a paid tool? Well, it is a paid tool, but you can use it for
free before we create our account and show the
Miro platform plans. Here we have the free plan. We also have the starter plan, which costs about $8 per month. The business plan
costs about $16, and we also have the enterprise. Enterprise plan varies
greatly in price. In this case, you
have to contact the Miro platform to
determine the value of your plan based on the number of members who will participate
in your Miro account, and what are the
differences between your free version and
your paid version? Well, the main difference in your free version compared
to the paid version, is that you have a limit on the number of boards
you can create, which are the
digital white board. You have a limit of three
boards in your free version. In a paid version, you have an unlimited board workkspace so you can create as
many boards as you want. In the business plan,
in addition to having an unlimited number of
boards that you can create, you can also build
private boards, which can be very interesting
if you are working on a particular project and don't want to share
it with anyone. Also have other advantages in the paid version compared to the free version with
the paid version, you can conduct a voting. If you are in a meeting process and want to conduct a vote, you can easily do it
in the paid version. In the free version, you
can do that, obviously. For everything, there is a way I will even show
you how you could conduct a vote for free without
the need for a paid plan. In your paid version, you have unlimited access to the
Mirror platforms templates, while in your free version, you have a limited number of accesses to the
available templates. Can you do videoconferencing? Don't necessarily need to use Miro for video conferencing. You can use entirely
free platforms like Zoom, Google Met, and many other video
conferencing platforms that are free tools and many other features
and advantages you have when you have the paid
plan of the Miro platform. If you want to pause
this lesson to see the main advantages of acquiring the Miro Plan,
feel free to do so. I'm going to create
a free account here. I'm going to click on
Create a free account to continue with the lesson
and to create your account, you can create an account using your email connecting
with your Gmail, which is your Google account, your Apple account,
your Facebook account. Even your Microsoft account. I'm going to create an account by connecting with my Gmail, so I'm going to click here and create an
account with Google. Here, you should
indicate that you agree with the terms
of the platform. If you want to read
them, you can open them. So I'm going to
indicate here that I agree with the terms and click
on Continue registration. This point, you will
select your email, so I'm going to enter
my first email. After selecting your email, you will write the name
of your account or the name of your team or
the name of your company. It varies a lot
depending on your goal. So I'm going to put cursor here. Down here, it will ask you, what is your company's
or projects segment? I'm going to put
educational segment here. Teacher and down here, it will ask me if I have
ever used it before. It's an optional
question, not mandatory, so I won't answer it, and I'll click on
the Continue button. At this point, can you already invite collaborators
to join your Mirror? There will be a specific lesson on this during the course, so I'm going to click here
on Skip for now to skip it. Ready? My account has already been created
here in Mirror. It has already opened here
on the templates screen. Going to close this screen here, and here is our board, which will be the
workspace where we will do all the processes within
the Mirror platform. In this case, it's our
whiteboard or whiteboard. Let's say I want to
insert post its, and I'm going to select
some post its here. I'm going to write this here, which would be another post
it to write this here, it varies a lot depending on the type of presentation
you want to create. Oh, Matthis, I want
to create a mindmap. You can create the mind map manually or you
can use templates. You click here on templates. I'm going to select this
standard mind map template here. The mind map has already been inserted here into
my Mirror platform, and I can customize it and add other points
to the mind map. In the first point, I'm
going to put what is Mirror. In another part of the mind map, I'm going to put advantages, disadvantages, and so on. In the next lesson,
I will explore with you in a deeper way
the function of each tool within the
Mirror platform and how you can use your board to
collaborate on projects, co working, brainstorming,
and many other methods.
4. Navigating Miro: Exploring the interface and platform functionalities: All right, folks. In this class, we're going to explore
how the entire layout and tools of Miro work. So here on the computer screen, right after you create
your Miro account, you'll land on a
board automatically. But if you go back here, the homepage after
creating your account, and to access the Miro tool, you can do it in three ways. The first way is
through the browser, which is the way
I'm using where you simply search for the
Miro website on Google, Connect, and access the tool. If you click on the
Get Apps button, you'll see other
operating systems where you can use Miro. So you can use Miro
on your mobile phone, whether it's an
iPhone or an Android. You can also download Mirror on desktop computers with
operating systems like Mac and also Windows. There's also an interactive
Mirror screen mode, which is great for meetings
and presentations, and it's currently only
available for Windows. So I'm going to start downloading
the Mirror tool here. I'll select my operating system, which in my case,
is Window 64 bit. If yours is 32 bit, you select 32 bit. There, I've already
downloaded Mirror, and now I'll start the
installation process. So I'll run the Xifle
that was downloaded, and it will start the
installation process, which is quite quick
and straightforward. Installation of
my Mirror Tool on Windows has already
been completed, and here you can login after the program has been installed,
and it's quite simple. You just connect
with the account you created in the
previous lesson, this right here is
the Mirror Tool, right after it has been installed and connected
on my computer. This is the tool I'll be using with you
throughout the course, and within the boards option, you'll see the boards you've
created in your account. As I mentioned in
the previous lesson, a free account has a limit
of three boards per account, but it doesn't mean you
can't use the Mirror tool. How do you create a
board or a whiteboard? To create a board within Mirror, which is your blank Canvas, you'll click on the
new board button and it will start
the loading process, creating a board for us. Our board has already
been created and it automatically opens
in the template screen, which I'll show you more
about later in this lesson. I'll close this tool, and this is our board right from the one thing you'll need to do is rename the
name of your board. So you'll click here to edit
the name of your board. I'll change it to course Mirror. On the left side, you
can switch the type of image that will be
associated with your board, which is this specific image to help you identify your
board more easily. I'll keep it as default, so I've set it as course Mirror. Below, you can add
a description, which can be very useful
if you're working on a collaborative project and using a board for
each collaborator. You can include the
collaborator's name in the description to help
identify their board. Or you can create a board for each phase of a project's
development and so on. In my particular case, I won't make any
changes to this. Below, there are three
other functions. Delete, where you can delete
your board, duplicate, where you can duplicate boards, and share where you can share the board with
another collaborator. There will be a specific
lesson on this topic, so we won't delve into
it in this lesson. I've already renamed my board, so just click outside, and this is our board or
rather our whiteboard. To get started, I'd like to explain its tools,
starting with the first. Tool has an arrow icon, and if you click on it, it
switches to a hand icon. What's the function
of this tool? When you have the
arrow selected, you can select an object. But when you have
the hand selected, you can move the entire board. Would you like to see
an example in practice? I'll insert some sticky notes here and I'll select them
with the arrow, right? So I'll go back here. These are the three
sticky notes I added. I can select them when I have
the arrow option selected. So I want to select
only this sticky note or pick it up and move it. In other words, when you have
the arrow option selected, you can select objects, move them, resize them,
and do many other thing. You have the hand selected, if I click on the
example objects here, I won't be able to select them. I'll just move the entire board. Personally, I suggest you
keep the arrow option selected and use the
right mouse button to drag and move things around. With the arrow option selected,
you can move your board. I already have the right
mouse button selected. If I release it, it goes
back to the arrow option, which is a more user friendly process for
using this tool. Matios, how do you
zoom in and out? Well, if you're using a laptop, you can easily do this
through a touchpad. If you're using a
tablet or smartphone, the process is also
straightforward. With a mouse, you
can simply scroll the scroll wheel up and
down to zoom in and out. If you can't use any
of these options, you can also zoom in and out
at the bottom right corner. If you click the plus
button, it will zoom in, and if you click the minus
button, it will zoom out. Clicking the percentage
Zoom button, we'll reset it to the
default 100% Zoom level, which is where my
Zoom is already set. So just to recap, the arrow option is for selecting
objects, resizing them, and performing various
other actions, while the hand option is
for dragging your board, which is a very useful function
during a presentation. Addition to the arrow
and hand options, we also have a second option, which is the templates option. This tool automatically opens when you create a
board in Mirror. Inside this tool, you'll find various templates that you
can insert into your board. So we have a mind map template here that I presented to
you in previous lessons. We also have a flow chart temp. Many other available templates. These templates are
created by Miro itself, and there are also some
templates created by users. If you click below, you'll see various other
templates created by community members that
you can easily use. If you want to search for a
specific type of template, you can click on the search bar and search for a
particular template. Suppose you need a roadmap
to insert into your board. I'll search for roadmap, and it will show me various roadmap templates
that I can insert into my board to facilitate collaborative work on a project, co working, and
many other areas. So I'll insert this roadmap
template by clicking the use template button and we'll wait for
the loading process. Roadmap template
has been inserted, and I can make
some changes here. It has marked the
third quarter of 2020, the fourth quarter of 2020, the first quarter of 2021, and the second quarter of 2021. You can simply
change these dates based on your plans within Miro. For example, if I'm starting a project in the first
quarter of 2024, continue on my
roadmap from there. So I made some adjustments here and it looks like this now. I can customize what I'll do
in each phase of my roadmap. I can add objects
in other phases. As I complete tasks
below each quarter, I can highlight what I'll
deliver each quarter and so on, all with a simple
roadmap template. I'll delete this
template and click on templates again where you'll
find many other templates. I'll insert a mind map template here by clicking UE and this is the mind map template
that I can make some changes to for a
presentation using Miro. For example, if I'm
going to give a lesson, explaining what
Mirror actually is, I'll add what is Mirror here. Then I'll highlight
its use cases. Next to use cases,
I'll put advantages and below advantages,
I'll put disadvantages. You can easily resize your
mind map in a simple way. Let's say I've added
some use cases here, and here might be two
example use cases, and I want to increase the size of this
mindmap even more. I can click the Plus button
here and add more content. To delete with the
arrow selected, simply select the item and press the delete
button to remove any unnecessary elements
from your mindmap for an even more interactive
presentation do the following. I'll add anything here under advantages
and disadvantages. If you click the minus button, you can reduce the size of
the mind map even further. When you move on
to a presentation, this can make the process
even more interactive. For example, if this is a lesson explaining
what Mirror is, I could start by
explaining what Mirror is. After explaining what Mirror is, I could move on to use cases. To expand my mind map, I just click the two button and present the examples
of use cases, making the presentation
even more dynamic because people will see the other
topics as the mind map unfolds. Another function we have below the templates is
the text option. If you select this option, you can insert text
into your board. How do you do this in practice? You select and left
click with your mouse. Then you can write
whatever you want. I've put some random text here, and we have various functions you can use within your text. The first option you can
use is if you click here, you can insert some type of
object around your text. In my case, I'm going to leave just the text and
have it selected. Next to this option,
you can also switch the font if you want
to use Aerial font, you can select it, and
it's already selected. You can increase the font
size as well as decrease it. If you want a specific
number, you can type it in. For example, I'll put 50
and it will adjust to 50. It's quite similar to
some text editors. You can also increase
and decrease the font size by resizing the text with the
arrow selected. When you increase the
size of the object, it automatically
increases the font size. So it increased to 107 when I increased
the size of the object, and I'll decrease the size of the object to see how
the font size changes. I decreased it, and
it's now at size 17. So it's a straightforward
process to increase and decrease the
font size within Miro. In addition to changing
the font size, you can add some
styles to your font, such as bold, italic, underline, and even
strike through. The strike through option
can be quite useful if you're working on a project
and have a specific roadmap. So I'll label this as phase two, this as phase three,
and this as phase one. I'll organize some
text below each phase. Okay, folks, let's organize. And let's say you're working on a specific project using
a roadmap process. This is where the strike through
function comes in handy. It can be very useful if you've possibly completed a
phase of that project. Or for example, if you've completed a specific task
within that roadmap. I've only added two tasks here. But typically, when it
comes to a roadmap, there are many other
tasks you can include. After all, it's a
quarter, so in a quarter, you can accomplish a lot depending on the type of
project you're working on. Let's say I've completed
the first task here, I can simply apply the
strike through style to it. I'll edit the style of my text. I'll make the phase titles all in bold to make
it interesting, so I'll put it in bold and
phase three in bold as well, and my text is
already customized. Also configure the alignment of your text so you can
align it to the left, center it, or align
it to the right. I'll leave it in
the default mode that was already selected. You also have this
option here that allows you to format
using bullet points, and there you can create bullet points using
dots or numbers. I'm going to use
numbered bullet points for each phase of my
roadmap that I'm creating. Move this other detail and
every time I press Enter, it will create a
new bullet point. I'll create about five
bullet points here, and it looks exactly like this. In addition to bullet points, you can also change the
color of your text. To change the color,
simply select the specific text and
click on text color, and you can change
the text color. I'll leave the second
bullet point in blue, mark the third one in red, and the fourth one in yellow. These are the three
colors I selected. We also have another option
that can be very useful. It's a highlighter function. If you click on it, you can insert a highlight of any color. I'll put a green
highlighter here. This is the highlighter
I was able to insert. This can also be very useful for marking things as done
list or checklist, indicating that you've completed a certain phase of a project. Or if, for example, you've deleted a
phase of a project but want to indicate
that it was deleted, you can use a red
highlighter, for example, to signal that part
of the project has been removed or is
on hold, and so on. Depends on the type
of use you want. You can also add
a background and increase the opacity
of each text object. So I'll take this
phase one object. I'll add a gray background and add a background
to my object here. It won't have the default
Mirror background with the white
board and squares. I'll return to the default mode, so I'll click here again. I'll click on New Color
to select only the text. We also have this
Insert Link option. If you select this option, you can insert a
link into your text. So I'll put the google
website, google.com. I'll click on Apply, and every time someone
clicks on your text, they will be automatically redirected to the
Google website, just like it happened here. This can be very useful
if you want to insert references when you're
developing a specific project, add links to files that are uploaded in the Cloud
and many other things. This can greatly facilitate the productivity
of your projects. Or if, for example, I want a specific phase of the project to be for
a particular person, I can put something like this phase is for
you at person name. You can use the
symbol to mention the person you've added as a collaborator to your project. Indicate each person's
responsibility, this can also be very useful for optimizing
your productivity. So when someone hovers over it, they will know exactly
what each person's role is precisely because you've added a comment or a notice
among other things. To conclude, in
this text option, we also have the lock option,
which is the padlock. If you select this option, your text will
become untouchable. What do I mean by that? If, for example, I
hover over my text, it will become untouchable. But if I hover over
other objects, I can easily select
and move them. But when I select
this specific object, it becomes untouchable
along with the whiteboard. It can be very useful if you are presenting a specific project
and many other things. To unlock this object, simply select it, hold it, and click on the unlock button, and it will be unlocked
and you can move it again, or it can become a
tangible object. Continuing with your tools, we also have this
sticky notes tool. In other words, a tool that allows you to insert
sticky notes. So you'll select
it, and here you can choose the color
of the sticky note. So I'll choose green. After
selecting the green color, you just need to choose where you want to insert
this sticky note. So I'll insert it in
this specific location I've inserted a
sticky note here. I'll leave something
marked here and I'll insert another
green sticky note here, so I'll mark it at the
top, just something. So there you go. I've
already inserted several sticky notes for
you to get a sense of it. You can move the sticky
notes very easily. Okay? In addition, you can also increase the thickness
of this sticky note. So this one is quite square, I can increase its thickness.
Look how it turned out. I'll leave this
sticky note like. Leave about three
sticky notes up here, selected with a
larger thickness, indicating something
like a phase. Let's say, inside
the sticky note, it has similar functions to text where you can
increase the font size, change the text style,
insert links, alignment, change the color of
the sticky note, or put this sticky note in its default color,
which would be red. We also have some
additional options. Such as the option
to show the name of the author who created
this sticky note. This can be very
interesting when you're involved in a
collaborative process. We also have the
option here for tags, where you can indicate
the function of each type of sticky note. Sometimes you're working
on a specific project, and each type of
sticky note represents a phase or a specific
category of the project. Can be very helpful
if you want to search for a specific
type of object. So I'll put Project
Mirror course, right? I'll mark it with this
tag. I'll click on Create. It's already tagged here. If by any chance, I have a big project built
here in Mirror, I can click on the
magnifying glass and search for the
built project, which is the name of the tag. Will show me exactly where the object is using the
tag I'm looking for. This can be very helpful, allowing you not to need to search for a project manually. In addition to the
option to insert tags, you can also add
a specific Emoji. Emojis can also serve as a tag, and I'll show you
later how you can use the Emoji system to
your advantage for a voting process
completely free of charge without the need for
a paid plan within Miro. We also have another option, which is cluster objects. This function is very
interesting because it allows you to organize
all your sticky notes. You see how I messed up all
these sticky notes here. Did that intentionally to demonstrate this organization
process with you. There are two ways you can do
this organization process. I'll select all the
objects here and you can do the following
with the selected objects. See this square
here, you can click on it and increase
or decrease it, and it will organize
all the sticky notes. This is very interesting. Oh, Matthias, but it
organized the objects, but they are still in the
same color. No problem. If you click on Cluster object with all your objects selected, you can separate these sticky
notes by color, by tag, by author, by keywords, and by sentiment, which
would be a Mojis. I'll separate these
sticky notes by color. On color and there you go, it's separated by each color, making the process of working on a specific project even easier. Sometimes each sticky note of each color has a
specific function. It separated all the
sticky notes by color, and it selected them here. With a white background, you can delete this white
background by simply selecting the white background and pressing the delete button, and you can delete it
easily or you can insert the name of each division to make it even easier
to understand. I'll delete all of them. I ended up just like this, my sticky notes separated by allowing you to organize your
sticky notes even better. I'll select all my sticky
notes and reduce their size to make them the same size as the texts I inserted earlier. All right, folks,
keep them aligned. I'll zoom in here and let's
continue with Mirrors tools. In addition to the
sticky note option, which is the sticky note, we also have this shape option. I thought it would be
the element option. This function allows me to
insert elements into my board. Suppose I want to insert
a circular element. I'll let the circular
element go inside my board, or if I want to insert a square element or a triangle
element, I can insert it. I'll let a triangle be inserted. I can change the color of
this object by default. It's black, but you
can change its color. You can increase its size and
make all the adjustments. This can also be
very interesting. Times in a voting process, you can signal that each object is a space for a specific vote. So suppose each of these sticky notes represents a collaborator and
you can conduct a vote where each collaborator
places their sticky note inside to indicate that they are voting in favor of
a specific cause. So it's a voting process that is totally
free and dynamic, and automatically, the
triangle would win. In addition to the
element options, we also have this arrow option. This function is very
interesting because it allows you to add
arrows inside my texts, objects, sticky notes,
and many other things. Suppose I want to connect one sticky note to another.
Click on the arrow. I select the type of arrow and where there's a line arrow, a standard arrow, and
many other arrow models. I'll leave this standard
arrow selected here, and you see that
around each object you hover your mouse over
around each object. You notice it has
a circular point. If you click on this
circular point, you will generate an arrow that you can connect
to the other. This arrow is too large. I can adjust its
size by clicking on type and reducing the
size of this arrow, as well as increasing or
making it the smallest size. And it ended up just like this, which can be very interesting in case you are presenting
some kind of work. So I'll place this arrow
and insert another arrow. Also indicating here
for the triangle as the winner of the possible vote or hypothetical vote I made. And it would look
just like this. Don't necessarily need to have the arrow selected
to add other arrows. Just select the object and
click on this circular button, holding down the
left mouse button, and you will be able
to insert an arrow. And if you click on Type here, you will see various types
of arrows that you can add. You can add a straight arrow, a square arrow, as well
as a curved arrow, and besides that, you can
separate them by arrows, points, and also a
straight line arrow. We also have this pen option. If you select it, you can scribble on your
digital whiteboard. It's indeed a digital
whiteboard on your board, so you can draw and write as if it were a real whiteboard. This pen function can be very interesting if you have a
graphics tablet because the process is quite
different when you're writing with a mouse compared to
using a graphics tablet. In fact, I've already
presented a course with a graphics tablet
using the Mirror platform, the classes turned out to be
very dynamic because they were classes that needed to
be presented on a whiteboard. But I chose to do a class using Mirror and it worked
out really well. When you click on the
pen, we have a standard. Also have a highlighter, which is this highlighter here, and you can change its
color by clicking on it. So let's use the
green highlighter here, and it looks like this. Or sometimes I can mark it as a checklist or a
phase of a project, so I'll put it here and I'll mark it with the
pens highlighter. In addition to this
highlighter option, we also have this
Smart drawing option, which is a kind automatic
drawing or auto draw, where if I draw any
kind of object, even if it looks ugly, it will
redraw that object for me. Did I draw a very
poorly made star? Let's see how our star will
look using smart drawing, and with smart drawing, it automatically created a star. Draw a circle here. Let's see
how our circle will look. In practice, it turned out
just like these folks. We also have these
two other options. This one is the pen option that allows you to erase what
you wrote with the pen. We also have this
eraser option that allows you to erase everything
you wrote with your pen. Remember, this eraser option
does not erase the elements. It only erases what was
created using the pen. So let's make some kind of annotation as if I had given
a presentation with the pen. Okay? It could be a kind of
interactive lesson, right? And suppose these
examples are finished. I want to move on
to another example. I can erase them with the eraser and presenting new
examples and so on. All right, we can move
on to new examples. We would do another
type of presentation. Folks, I'll erase it
with the eraser again, and finally, in the pen option, we also have this lasso option. This option allows you to
select a specific object. I'll select these
two objects and look how it turned out.
It's quite simple. It's not very useful
because you can put this process into
practice by default, by selecting it with the
arrow of your mouse, but it's actually a
very simple process. No I'll switch to the pen again. If you click down here, you can increase the thickness of
your pen or decrease it. I'll type lesson, which would be class in another language, and I'll make it with a
much larger thickness. Look at how it turned out. It's a bit hard to interpret, but if I remove the Zoom, it might be interesting for a slightly larger
presentation, maybe. So I can increase and decrease
the thickness of my pen, as well as the highlighter. You can also do this
process. All right, folks. Here, we also have
this commons option that I've already shown you. If you want to
signal some kind of action to a specific
person, you can signal. Down here in the comments, we also have this frame option, and this option is very
interesting because it consolidates some
objects into one place. This can be very useful for
your organization process. So suppose I want to
separate these objects. With a separate
frame, you'll press the left button and it
will create this square. I consolidated the objects
into one place here. I can leave it with a
transparent background, which is the default background, and I can also put another type of background inside my frame. I leave it as a gray background to differentiate it
from the others. I'll take it and build
another frame on top, which would be frame
two, and I'll leave it with a transparent
background. All right? We can name the function of each frame or you can
leave it without any name. But it's an interesting function because it consolidates
the objects in one place and is very helpful during the organization
process of your projects. There's also a very
interesting function that you can use with frames, which I will show you
in a specific lesson that allows you to create presentations similar to PowerPoint presentations
using the frame tool. In fact, give you
a little spoiler. So what would be frame one? This would be frame two, and
it's a type of presentation that we can make interactively because we can move the objects, making it a very
interesting presentation. To conclude, we also have this
upload option that allows you to upload images or other elements onto
your mirror board. So suppose I want
to insert an image. I'll choose my device option and select this specific
image of Facebook ads. Organize it, and this image
looks exactly like this. So you can easily insert any type of image
here in Mirror. Besides uploading images
from your device, you can also link to images from external sources like Link, Google Drive, Dropbox,
and many other sources. We also have this
more Apps option, which allows you to add
extensions to your Mirror, further enhancing its usability. So in the top right corner have some additional functions
within our Mirror. Some of them you
won't be able to use in the free version,
while others you can. We have this react function, which is very interesting if you are conducting
a voting process, to make a presentation or collaborative process
even more engaging. We also have the
comments option, where when you click on it, all available comments
within Mirror will appear. We also have some other
additional options, so we have a timer, which can be very useful if you need to set a
deadline for a project. This function can be very
useful within Mirror. We also have a voting
system to make your lessons even more
dynamic. Have the talk track. The talk track is
basically a recording, something you can
record here in Mirror, and it will be saved for
other collaborators to view. You can insert comments, but instead of typing text, you can leave an audio comment or do a basic presentation. This can also be
very interesting. We also have this
estimation option. We have the notes option
where all kinds of notes within the project
will be inserted here. You can even insert
a to do list, which is a kind of checklist, which can be very useful
to enhance usability. If you click on this arrow, we have the private board. Is only available in
the paid versions. We also have the
chat option where you can chat with
other collaborators. So I sent a hello here. If there's another collaborator, they will be able
to see this message and reply to me here, which can also be
very interesting. We also have the
dependencies option and the video call option. So these are some
additional options you'll find within Miro. And down here in the
bottom right corner, we also have other options. If you hover your mouse here, three more options will appear. I've already explained how
these Zoom options work. We have the first option, which is the full screen option. Select this option, you will make your video
go full screen. If you click here, it will
exit full screen mode. We also have the Pin Map option. If you select this option, a map will appear showing where all the objects in your
mirror are located. Sometimes you may have lost
a specific object that you didn't mark with a comment
or didn't signal in any way. But you know the
shape of the object. You can use a Pin Map to
manually search for that object. The board in Mirror
can hold many things. This can be very helpful. We also have the fit
to screen option, where if you select this option, it will zoom out to show all the objects
available in Mirror. Lastly, we have another
option on the left hand bar, which is the undo option to go back to what you
did previously. For example, if I
made some changes here or I'm going to
delete this sticky note, I can go back by
pressing Control plus Z and it will
revert the action. Or if I don't press
Control plus Z, I can click this
button and it will revert the entire
previous process. If I click here, it will
go back even further. Doing various actions I
did throughout the lesson. I'll leave it as it is. I'll go back to the beginning. This concludes a bit about
the mirror platform, its functions, and
its main tools. I hope you enjoyed this lesson and I'll see you
in the next one.
5. Sharing your board on Miro: Tips for efficient collaboration: So, guys, in the
previous lesson, we explored how the Mirror
platform works in practice, and I also introduced
all its tools. In this lesson, I'm going to
show you how you can share your mirror board with other collaborators to work together. So, here on the computer screen, I have this board that I presented to you in
the previous lesson, and I'm going to
share this board with another Mirror
account that I have, which is a personal account to share this board with
another collaborator. You should click on
the Share button. Here you will have options that allow you to
share this board. The first way is by
entering the email or at of the person you want
to invite to your board. I will enter my email
and on the right side, you should specify the role of this person you are
inviting to your board. I will select here and
three options will appear. The first option allows this
person to edit my board. The second option
is for comments only and the third
option is for view only. View only can be very interesting for
situations where you are conducting meetings and the person doesn't
necessarily need to edit, watch your meeting or
workshop presentation. Can be very interesting to
leave it for view only. This would be one way
to share your board. I'll click on this blue
button to send the request so that I can access my
board in my other account. Here, I'll click Done. The invitation has
already been sent, so the boards have already appeared in my other
secondary account. I'll enter this first
board where I'll have access to the board I created with you in
the previous lesson. This is the board I
was able to access. If I go back here, this is
my other account. Guys. Now, what I'm going to do here for a better visualization is explain some points
to you when you're doing any activity
within your board. Don't know if you noticed,
but on the left side, for example, an arrow will appear exactly where
you are pointing. For example, let's say I'm
presenting something specific on my main account to the course notion account
on the left side. I'm addressing this
specific point. I can select it here with the mouse and the person
watching me will know exactly which topic or type of posted text I am
specifically addressing. Other very interesting function that can make your
presentation even more dynamic when you have
a collaborator is to click on the profile picture
of that collaborator. This is a picture of mine. I'm going to click
on this button, and from the moment I
click on this button, the same camera or rather the same thing
that this person is presenting will be
the same camera that I will view
when I'm watching. The left side, I set it to view my first board and it's
actually the same screen. I'll zoom in here and
look how it turned out. It will be completely similar. Of course, there is
a certain delay, but even so you can
follow and complete the presentation
process in meetings, workshops, brainstorming,
specific lessons, and even video conferences, and this can vary greatly
depending on your usability. If you want to exit this screen, you just need to click the
ie button again and you will go back to
controlling your Remember, when you add a collaborator
to your board, you can give them
some permissions, such as being an editor,
a commentator only, or a person who can
only view your board and any mouse movement that
this collaborator makes, for example, I'll move
this posted here. It will change on the
other board in real time. Of course, there is
a certain delay, but it's a matter
of milliseconds, but it doesn't make
much difference in the process of presenting a meeting and many other
interactive activities you can do here in Miro. Another way to share
your mirror board is to click on the Share button, instead of sending this
invitation by email to a specific person and wanting to send this board to a
large number of people, you can copy the link to
this board and send it to those people where
you don't need to manually enter each email. Returning only to our one board, there is also a
very interesting it allows you to export the
entire board you have created. How do I do this in practice? Just click here on Export
This board and here you will have options where you can
export your board as an image, a PDF file, a template file where another person can access, and many other ways. Let's say I want to export this board I created
as an image. I'll click here on the
button to save as anime. Here you should select
the area to save as an image to export
this type of board. So I'm going to export
this entire area here. I'll click the Export button. I'll save this image here in the Mirror folder, and
there you go, guys. Look how my board turned out, exported as a JPEG image. Of course, the quality may vary, but it can be interesting
in case you're presenting a workshop where
you've created a mindmap. You can export the material as a PDF or even an image
for students to review. But this is a simple way you
can share your mirror board or should I say your whiteboard
with other collaborator.
6. Mastering Miro Shortcuts - Simplify your work: Now I'm going to show
you a feature that can maximize your productivity
within the Mirror platform, which are the shortcut keys. They are keys that
allow you to use Mirrors tools through
keyboard shortcuts. Do you want to see a
practical example? Well, here on my Mirror board, which I built with you
in previous lessons, if we hover the mouse
over the tools, you might notice that each
tool has its own shortcut key. For example, if I
want to use the pen, I just press the P key and it automatically
switches to the pen. If I want to use the mouse, I just press the V
key as shown here. I'm with the pen
press the V key, and it's switched
back to the mouse. If I want to use the hand, I press V again and it will
automatically alternate. If I want to go
back to the arrow, I just press V again. So there are some
shortcut keys that can facilitate and further increase your productivity within
the Mirror platform. Another key example, if I want to insert some
text into my board, I just press the Tke and it will automatically
switch to the text tool, and I can insert
text into my board. So these are some
tools you can use. Oh, I switch to the pen. How do I insert the eraser? Well, with my pen selected, I'm going to add some doodles, if I hover the mouse
over the eraser, the shortcut key for
the eraser is the Iki. How do I switch to
the highlighter? You cannot switch to it
using shortcut keys. You'll have to do it manually. But if you want to
use the eraser, just press the Iki
and it will switch to the eraser tool where I can erase everything I
doodled with the pen. There are other
shortcut keys that can further maximize your
productivity within Mirror. Besides the shortcut keys, where you'll have
access to your tools? Where can I access all the
shortcut keys within Mirror? You click here on the
settings button above, then hover the mouse over the help option and
then select shortcuts. Here, all your shortcut keys will appear along
with their functions. Here we have shortcut
keys for your tools. As I already mentioned, general mode shortcuts, navigation mode shortcuts,
and text shortcuts. Do you want to see a
very cool function that you can do with
the shortcut keys? Type Windows plus shift plus
S, the three keys together. And look what
happened. I can take a screenshot of
the shortcut keys. I automatically copied for me, and if I press Control plus V, I can insert these
shortcut keys into my board so that I can put them into practice step by step. Another very
interesting function in relation to the shortcut
keys within your board. So we have here all
these messy posttes and you've already noticed that some posttes are on
top of each other, and there's a very interesting shortcut key within
your keyboard. Is the page up and
page down tabs. If you press the page upkey, if by chance any posted object or any type of element is
behind another object, it will automatically bring
that object to the front. Do you want to see a
practical example? There is a posted
behind this yellow one. I will select this top post it. I will press the page down key, where I will send this posted back. Look how it turned out. It automatically send
the post to the now, I will press page up
and put this post it in front and look how
it turned out, everyone. Want to see another
practical example. Let's take this green post it. Take this green post. I will put it in front of all. I will press here page up, and automatically, it
was on top of all. If I want to throw
it down page down. These are some examples
of shortcut keys that you can use to further maximize your productivity within Mirror.
7. Miro as a presentation tool: Creating engaging presentations with Frames: Hey, guys, in this class, I'm going to show you how
you can use Mirror as a supplementary tool for
the presentation process, similar to presentations
in Power Point. However, in this case, a presentation here in Mirror is a fully interactive
presentation. To create presentations
using this tool in Mirror, you should create frames. To create a frame,
simply select the tool or press the shortcut
key, which is the F key. I've pressed the key
to insert frames, and I'll insert a
custom frame here. With the frame already selected, I can create a custom
frame by selecting this space where I will consolidate all these
objects inside this frame. So if I move this frame, my objects will be consolidated. There's another
function behind it besides consolidating
objects in this location. I'll leave it with a
transparent background, which is the default
background in Mirror. The objects are
already consolidated within this frame and
you can see this square representing the
objects you want to consolidate inside it and also the space for
your presentation. I frame one that I created, I want my presentation
to be exactly like this. I'll just make a few minor adjustments and it's
just like that. This is frame one, the
first take of my slide. Now I'll create frame two, which will be this part
of the presentation. Create three frames with you. I'll select this part, keep it with a transparent
background, and create another
frame here for the doodles I made with
you in another lesson. Let's select a frame just for these doodles
I made with a pen, again, with a
transparent background, and there you go, folks. Each of these frames
I created around each object represents
a kind of slide. How can I actually present this? You'll click on this
open side bar button where the presentation
function will appear. As I mentioned, each frame represents the numbering
or in other words, the order of each slide. This is our first slide. If we click on the next frame, we'll move to the second
slide of our presentation. I'll click on next frame again, and this is the last frame. The best part about
these presentations is that they are interactive. For example, if we
go to slide three, we can also move the
other objects and so on, making it a completely different and even more interactive
presentation. Matthews, is it
possible to change the chronological order of each slide or should
I say each yes, it's entirely possible
to exit this screen, simply click the stop button
or press the shortcut key, which is the escape
key on your keyboard. I'll select stop here. So we're out of
the presentation. In Mirror, to change the chronological
order of each frame, simply select this option again. For example, if I want frame three to be the first
part of my presentation, just select it with
the left mouse button and drag it to the
first or second part. Varies depending on the order you want to present
these slides. I've set it as the first
part of the slide. If I click to present
again, frame one, as I changed it, has become
the first part of my slide. Frame two is frame one
before I made the change. In the free version, the
presentation process has some limitations. In the paid version, many
more features are enabled. For example, in
the free version, you can insert
posts directly into the presentation to make
it even more interactive. Or sometimes you want to give an example or a warning,
which can be useful. You can also insert comments, zoom in within your frame, add collaborators to
watch your presentation. A system of real time reactions, and here we also have
some preferences in our presentations. One of them is whether
you want to hide or show mouse cursors during a presentation for
other collaborators, whether you want to
start this presentation in full screen mode and
many other settings.
