Frequently asked questions
Common questions about how to hide collaborator's cursor in miro.
Can I hide individual collaborator cursors or only all of them at once?
Miro allows you to control cursor visibility settings from the board preferences. You can typically manage cursor display as a board-level setting that applies to all collaborators, though specific options may vary depending on your board's sharing and permissions configuration.
Will collaborators know if I hide their cursor?
Hiding a collaborator's cursor is a display setting on your end and does not notify them. Collaborators will continue to see their own cursor and the cursors of other participants based on their own visibility settings.
Does hiding cursors affect the collaborative functionality?
No, hiding cursors is purely a visual preference and does not impact the ability to collaborate, edit, or share the board. All collaborative features remain fully functional regardless of cursor visibility settings.
Can I toggle cursor visibility on and off quickly?
Yes, cursor visibility can typically be toggled on and off from the board settings without significant delay. This allows you to switch between showing and hiding cursors as needed during your work session.
Is cursor hiding available on all Miro plan levels?
Cursor visibility settings are available on most Miro plan levels, but specific features may vary. Check your current plan's documentation or contact Miro support to confirm which cursor management features are included with your subscription.
