Summary

Miro lets you build a presentation directly on a board by turning Frames into individual slides, then playing them back in Presentation Mode. This approach keeps your visual brainstorming and your final presentation in one place, so you never have to export content into a separate slide deck tool.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Step 1

    Open or create your board

    Start from an existing board or set up a new one if you haven't already. If you need a walkthrough on setup, see the guide on how to <a href='/guides/miro/create-a-board'>create a board</a> before you begin adding slide content.

  2. Step 2

    Add a Frame for each slide

    Press F, or open the Tools (+) menu in the left toolbar and choose Frame, then drag on the canvas to draw a frame. Each frame represents one slide, so repeat this step for every slide you plan to include, spacing them out so they're easy to work with.

  3. Step 3

    Fill frames with content

    Click inside each frame and add text boxes, images, shapes, or sticky notes to build out your slide content. If you want a quick way to capture ideas or talking points, check the guide on how to <a href='/guides/miro/add-sticky-notes'>add sticky notes</a> for a fast layout method.

  4. Step 4

    Name your frames

    Click the frame title (shown above the top-left corner of each frame), press Enter, and type a descriptive name, like 'Slide 1 - Intro'. Clear naming makes it much easier to reorder slides later and to navigate during a live presentation.

  5. Step 5

    Arrange frames in presentation order

    Click the Frames button in the bottom-right controls to open a list of every frame on the board. Drag frames up or down in this list so they play back in the exact sequence you want.

  6. Step 6

    Launch Presentation Mode

    Click the Present button (the play icon) in the top-right corner of the board. Miro opens a full-screen view that steps through your frames in the order listed in the Frames panel.

  7. Step 7

    Navigate and present

    Use the left and right arrow keys, or the on-screen arrows at the bottom, to move between frames during your presentation. Press Escape at any time (or click Stop) to exit Presentation Mode and return to the regular board view.

Why this matters

You've just run a workshop or planning session on a Miro board, and now you need to walk stakeholders through the key ideas without rebuilding everything in a separate slide tool. Turning your existing frames into a presentation saves time and keeps the context intact.

Frequently asked questions

  • Do I need a paid Miro plan to present a board?

    No, Presentation Mode using Frames is available on Miro's free plan. You can build and present frame-based slides without upgrading.

  • What if I want a different layout style, like a mind map, instead of slides?

    Frames work well for linear presentations, but if your content is more relational, consider building a <a href='/guides/miro/create-a-mind-map'>mind map</a> instead and presenting that structure directly.
