Summary

Talktrack is Miro's built-in screen recording tool for narrating over a board so teammates can watch and interact with your explanation on their own time. It combines your voice, cursor movement, and board content into a shareable video, making it useful for async updates, onboarding walkthroughs, and design reviews.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Step 1

    Open the board you want to record

    Navigate to the Miro board containing the content you want to explain. Make sure any frames, diagrams, or sticky notes you plan to reference are already arranged the way you want viewers to see them, since Talktrack captures your live board view.

  2. Step 2

    Launch Talktrack from the toolbar

    Look for the Talktrack icon in the left-side toolbar of your board (it appears alongside other quick-access tools). Click it to open the Talktrack panel, then select 'Create new Talktrack' to begin setting up a recording.

  3. Step 3

    Set up your camera and microphone

    Choose whether to include your webcam feed in the corner of the recording, and select the microphone you want to use. Grant browser permissions for camera and microphone access if prompted, since Talktrack needs both to capture narrated video.

  4. Step 4

    Record your walkthrough

    Click the record button and start narrating as you pan, zoom, and click through your board. Talktrack captures your voice and on-screen movement together, so treat it like a live presentation. If your board uses frames, moving between them can help structure the recording, similar to how you'd organize a presentation for a live audience.

  5. Step 5

    Stop and preview the recording

    Click the stop button when you've finished narrating. Miro generates a preview so you can watch the full recording before publishing it, checking audio clarity and making sure your cursor movements make sense to a viewer seeing the board for the first time.

  6. Step 6

    Trim or re-record sections

    If part of the recording has a mistake or long pause, use the trim controls to cut it out, or discard the take and record again. Keep recordings focused and short so viewers stay engaged through the full explanation.

  7. Step 7

    Share the Talktrack link

    Once you're happy with the recording, generate a shareable link. Decide whether the link should be open to anyone with it or restricted to specific people, and adjust these settings the same way you would when you share a board or set invite-only access for sensitive content.

Why this matters

You need to explain a complex board layout to teammates in different time zones who can't join a live call. Recording a Talktrack lets you narrate your thinking once, share a link, and let viewers watch and revisit the explanation whenever they're ready, without scheduling a meeting.

Frequently asked questions

  • Is Talktrack available on Miro's free plan?

    Yes, Talktrack recording is available on Miro's free plan with some limits on recording length and storage. Paid plans typically raise these limits and add extra sharing controls.

  • Can viewers interact with the board while watching a Talktrack?

    Talktrack plays back as a recorded walkthrough, but the underlying board remains live and editable if the viewer has access. This lets people rewatch your narration and then explore or edit the actual board content afterward.

  • How is Talktrack different from Presenter Mode?

    Presenter Mode is used for live, real-time walkthroughs during a call, while Talktrack records a narrated video you can share asynchronously. If you want a scripted, guided presentation instead, [Presenter Mode](/guides/miro/use-presenter-mode) may fit that use case better.

  • Can I delete or replace a Talktrack after sharing it?

    Yes, you can delete a Talktrack recording from the Talktrack panel at any time. Note that anyone who already has the link may lose access once it's removed, so update your shared link if you record a replacement.
