Use this interactive demo to learn how to set up a private board in Miro in minutes.

Quick summary

A private board in Miro lets you work on content without sharing it with your entire team. You can control access by adjusting the board's sharing settings to restrict visibility to only invited collaborators.

Steps

Log in to your Miro account and click '+ Blank board' to create a new private board.
Click the 'Share' button in the top-right corner of the board.
In the sharing settings, click 'Anyone with the link' to open access options.
Set the access level to 'No access' to prevent team members from viewing the board.
Your private board is now configured — only people you explicitly invite can access it.

📌 Why this matters

Creating a private board in Miro is essential for teams that need a secure space to develop sensitive ideas, strategies, or designs before sharing them more broadly. By restricting board access through Miro's built-in sharing settings, users maintain full control over who can view or collaborate on their work. This feature is especially valuable for cross-functional teams managing confidential projects, as it prevents accidental exposure within shared workspaces. Mastering Miro's privacy controls helps organizations protect intellectual property while still benefiting from a collaborative visual workspace.
