Hi Mattew, thanks for asking!

Do you mean 80 participants are going to edit the board? 80 editors should be fine.

Please, make sure to check the system requirements to ensure a better experience.

Also, as soon as you have all the details of the Summit (number of participants, editors, commenters, viewers), feel free to let our Support Team know, they will check it with the team once more.

Thanks for the reply Marina! That’s helpful.

As a follow-up: Is there a limit to how many people can edit a board at one time?

So if we had all 80 participants edit a board at once, would that be possible?

Hey Mattew,

Yes, it would be possible.And alsoto have a better board performance we do not recommend a lot of ‘heavy’ content on the board (heavy images, pen objects).

How many active users can participate in a session at once?

We’re doing a design thinking experiment and asking for input from potentially 100 users. How might the system respond to that?

thanks heaps!

Hey @Jason Hardie, I’ve merged your question with a similar topic.

The performance depends on the activity you expect from the participants.Normally, you can have up to 100 users simultaneously working on one board(make sure to check the recommendations above).

You can also try to turn off the collaborators’ cursors. It may help to improve performance.

Thanks for the tips, @Timm Shrago.

I've passed the message on to the colleague who was thinking about this, but no reply so far. I've just nudged him again.

So we recommend you take measures:

• Have a plan B — split collaboration in several boards with smaller audiences. This is preferable.
• If you decide to try and collaborate on one board, consider that entering the board will take more time as more users join the collaboration. Be sure to give enough time for everyone to open the board — for example, split participants into groups and enter the board in waves. To speed it upask participants to turn off cursors (it is best done in advance on any other board).

Let us know how it goes.

@Amanda DY Lee

While Miro can support 350 simultaneous editors, there will be reduced performance.

While, yes, hundreds of people can edit a board using a Miro Free Plan, to do so they all have to be members of the Free Plan team where the board is located. Therefore, if you wanted to host a session with 300 people editing a board, you would have to add 299 people to your team - you don’t want to do this, unless you don’t mind the administration nightmare.

You’d be better off having a paid plan and using the guest editor access feature - your participants aren’t even required to have a Miro account. If you only require this feature as a one-off, the absolutely cheapest/lowest spend option would be the Consultant Plan for one person for $15 for one month (while the team option is $10 per users per month, there is a two person minimum required, so that would be $20).

There are many options when it comes to Miro and unfortunately there is no clear infographic or questionnaire (or anyone you can call or chat with directly at Miro) to help you decide which solution is best for you.

You may benefit from clearly outlining your scenario and desired outcome, e.g., we are a team of “x” size looking to host a virtual session for a group of [number of users, type of users - technical/not technical] over the course of [one time, days, week, etc.].

Here are afew Help Center articles that you should review:

Hi, I’ve got two separate scenarios that I would like help with.

For the first, we are going to break out into about 10 groups, with about 15 particpants in each group. We would like each group to be inputting into essentially the same scenario, but they might all come up with different solutions. I am assuming that the best option here would be to have 15 separate boards? And we then just send them an individual link to the specific board that they are on?

For the second, we will have four breakout groups, but each group will be much larger, up to 50 participants (though possibly only 20-30). The Miro boards will mostly be used to capture notes from the group discussion.

I note that we will need to have a subscription, as teh free account won’t allow us to have these people edit, unless they are part of our team. What subscription will this require, and how do you turn off the cursor, as was recommended above?
