Accessibility
Miro is not accessible as it does not meet the WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standard.
If you intend to use Miro you should:
- Consider whether an alternative approach would be more suitable.
- Ensure participants are aware of the accessibility issues before you use it.
- Encourage participants to let you know if the accessibility issues will prevent them from full participation.
- Ensure that text descriptions are present for any images.
Help and Support
Please note that whilst Miro has been approved by Information Services, it is not supported by IS and given that we have no guarantee of its availability, we recommend that you do not design anything that has a critical dependency on it.
Information Services cannot resolve technical issues with Miro. However, Miro has an extensive help section which covers the basics of getting started through to troubleshooting and technical questions.
