Miro Basics 3 - Embedding Google Docs and Youtube Videos
Channel: Rich Bodo
Date: 2022-08-01

This is just an expansion on the first video in the series to explain embedding:

There are basically two kinds of content you would embed in Miro, Public Content, and Private Content.

1) Private Content like documents from Google Docs or DropBox - To embed these, choose the SaaS system (i.e. Google Drive) from the More Tools or Uploads menu, then log in and give Miro permissions if this is the first time you have used this, then choose the document to embed.  It's good practice to remove permissions when you are done using Miro for that project.

2) Public Content from the internet like public Youtube or Vimeo videos - Look at the document on the site it is listed on, and find the "embed code" - it will start and end with the text "iframe".  Copy it.  Go back to Miro.  Choose "Paste Iframe" from the "more tools" menu and paste the embed code you just copied. 

A couple notes: 

1) There are lots of other types of documents that can be embedded with a menu item on the "more tools" or "uploads" menu that might require a slightly different, but not more difficult procedure.

2) All SaaS software like Miro is a moving target and the only up to date help system is the one that the SaaS software provides online - so although this will work for you at the time of this publishing, you will want to search the help system in Miro for up to date answers if this doesn't work.  As of this writing that is found on the dashboard with a little question mark icon in a circle next to your avatar on the upper left corner of the screen.
