A: Hi Jay,

Thanks for the compliment! And, good question. You’re partly right, but for most of what you describe you won’t need Miro at all.

Running it live, without Miro. METODIC.live (included in every tier) is the interactive part. In Meet or LiveWebinar you share the room screen window and paste the join link in the chat. People join from their phone or a second browser tab, with no account and nothing to install. Beyond polls and voting, the room has facilitation methods that do the work a board usually does:

Place on a plane: everyone pins items on an Impact/Effort, How-Now-Wow or your own 2x2, and the room sees the result together.
25/10 Crowd Sourcing and dot voting: collect ideas, pass them around and prioritise them.
Make one thing together, Pass an idea on and Same challenge, each in their own place: built for rooms where everyone works from a different place, which fits online groups well.
Open questions, word clouds, quizzes (including a race mode) and audience questions people can upvote.

The results stay with the session afterwards. On the AppSumo tiers there’s no cap on how many participants join a room, so your larger LiveWebinar groups fit too.

When Miro adds something. If you want a free-form canvas people draw and keep working on after the session, export the session to Miro (or Mural). Metodic builds the board for you, with the agenda and the canvases for each activity. The collaboration on that board then happens in Miro, under your Miro plan. So yes, that part of your reading is right. Though, Miro for example allows 3 boards on the free tier, so you could keep it at that number and use it in your session.

Most coaches start with Live alone and only use the Miro export for sessions that need a canvas. Here’s how to run a session online: metodic.io/help/run-session-online. And which interaction fits which moment: metodic.io/help/live-pick-interaction
