Quick answer
To embed a Miro board inside another board, open the source board, copy its URL from the browser address bar or the Share menu, then paste that link directly onto the destination board's canvas. Miro automatically converts the pasted URL into a live embedded card that teammates can click to open the linked board.
Steps at a glance
- Open the board you want to embed and copy its URL.
- Open the destination board where the embed should appear.
- Paste the URL directly onto the canvas of the destination board.
- Wait for Miro to render the link as an embedded board card.
- Resize or reposition the embedded card as needed.
- Click the embedded card to open the linked board in a new tab.
- Check sharing permissions so collaborators can access the embedded board.
Summary
Embedding lets you nest one Miro board inside another so related projects, roadmaps, or reference material stay connected without leaving the current canvas. It's especially useful for building dashboards, overview boards, or linked workflows across a team's workspace.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1
Open the board you want to embed
Navigate to the Miro board you plan to nest inside another board. This can be any board you own or have access to, including one you built with templates or copied from an existing project.
Step 2
Copy the board's URL
Copy the full web address from your browser's address bar while the board is open. Alternatively, open the Share button in the top-right corner of the board and copy the link from the sharing dialog.
Step 3
Open the destination board
Go to the board where you want the embed to appear. This is typically an overview board, a dashboard, or a frame dedicated to linked resources.
Step 4
Paste the URL onto the canvas
Click an empty area of the canvas and paste the copied URL using Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V on Mac). Miro detects the Miro board link and automatically converts it into an embedded card showing a preview of that board.
Step 5
Resize and position the embedded card
Drag the corners of the embedded card to resize it, and move it wherever it fits best on the canvas. You can place it near related content such as sticky notes, tables, or a timeline for easy reference.
Step 6
Verify access and sharing settings
Open the embedded card and confirm that anyone who needs to view or edit it has the correct permissions. Review your board sharing settings to make sure invited collaborators can open the linked board without hitting an access error.
Step 7
Test the embed from another device
Click the embedded card to confirm it opens the correct board in a new browser tab. If you or your team work from the mobile app, open the destination board there too to confirm the embedded card displays and links correctly.
Why this matters
You're managing several related boards — a master roadmap, team retrospectives, and a resource library — and switching between tabs slows everyone down. Embedding lets you surface a linked board directly on your main canvas, so collaborators can jump into detailed work without losing sight of the bigger picture.
Frequently asked questions
Can I embed a board that belongs to someone else's team?
Yes, as long as you have permission to view that board. If the board owner restricts access, you'll need them to grant you viewer or editor rights before the embed will open properly for you or your teammates.
Does embedding a board create a copy of it?
No. Embedding creates a live link, not a duplicate. Any changes made on the original board are reflected when someone opens the embedded card, since it always points to the current version of that board.
Can I embed multiple boards on the same canvas?
Yes. You can paste as many board URLs as you need onto a single canvas. Many teams use this to build a hub board that links out to retrospectives, roadmaps, and project boards in one organized view.
Will the embed work if I open the board on mobile?
Embedded board cards display in the Miro mobile app, and tapping one opens the linked board just like it does on desktop. Performance may vary slightly depending on your connection speed.
