Migrating from Loom to Miro
The main reason teams move from Loom to Miro is roadmapping. Miro's approach — best-in-class infinite canvas experience — the gold standard for collaborative whiteboarding with real-time multiplayer editing — suits startup and scaleup teams that have outgrown Loom's model. Here's how to migrate without losing historical context.
At a Glance
- Fastest way to communicate complex ideas asynchronously — record screen + camera in seconds with zero setup

Migration Steps
Audit and export your current workspace
Before touching Miro, document what lives in Loom: projects and tasks, custom fields, automations, integrations, and team permissions. Export a full CSV backup — most tools support this from Settings → Export. Pay particular attention to any workflow automations that your team relies on daily.
Set up your Miro workspace
Create your Miro workspace and replicate your project structure using tasks and projects. Miro starts at $8/user/mo/user/mo with a free tier available — $4.5/user/mo less than your current Loom spend. Run with a single pilot team before migrating everyone.
Map your workflow equivalents
Find the closest Miro equivalent for each Loom feature your team relies on. projects and tasks in Loom maps to tasks and projects in Miro. Prioritise the critical path: task creation, status tracking, and assignment.
Import your data
Miro supports CSV import for tasks and projects and has 20+ native integrations. For automations that don't have a native equivalent in Miro, Zapier or Make can bridge the gap. Start with your most active project rather than importing everything at once.
Onboard your team
Run a 30-minute walkthrough covering the daily workflow: how to create tasks and projects, update status, and find your board. Miro has a gentle learning curve — most PMs are fully productive within 1–2 days. Focus the session on the UI differences rather than feature training.
Run Loom in parallel for two weeks
Keep Loom read-only while your team works primarily in Miro. This reduces risk and lets people reference historical context — old decisions, archived tickets, past sprint data — without slowing the migration. After two weeks with no new work going into Loom, archive the workspace and make Miro the official home.
