I want to add a youtube video inside my presentation, or add a link inside the presentation which people or myself could click

There are a ton of times where viewers add a comment by click-dragging a box around the item they are wanting to comment on. While this is super cool and I’m sure the comment thinks that doing this is helpful to provide context - and it is - it creates a headache if I am moving screens around and also want to keep that comment intact. This is really frustrating with large projects that have a lot of churn in the UI, and when there are a lot of comments.With a regular comment (no selection box) it is easy to do this - the comment, if attached to an object, will move with the object. I have searched for a way to convert the “box” comment to a regular comment but haven’t found how to do this. Could you add the ability to do this? Or just remove the box comments?Or is there a way to do this that I haven’t found? Thanks.

Hello Figma Team, Please add “Number” Variable function for Ellipse Sweep Property, It will so much of helpful to create Pie diagram for prototypes,

Following are a few things I found myself wishing for as I learned and used Figma Slides recently (it’s totally possible that you CAN do some of these things, and I just wasn’t able to find guidance on them on the interwebs, but I think I was pretty thorough in my search): Speaker notes section would benefit greatly from some not-too-major feature add-ons, like the ability to:Add comments/editing suggestions—When collaborating to build a presentation deck, our team wanted to give feedback/make suggestions as we built out the notes, but we had to find workarounds in order to do this. The ability to comment inside the speaker notes section would be hugely helpful. Better yet, having some baseline suggesting/editing capabilities similar to MS Word would be amazing. Use various text sizes and styling—to help build out headers, subheads, bullet/number lists, and to create emphasis (e.g. bold, italic, etc.) List styling—bullets, numbers, including indent levels to create hierarchy Add color

Now that we have the ability to make multiple pages in Figjam, I’m finding the need to consolidate some existing Figjams to create centralized files for particular projects or topics. As I move existing boards into the main file I’m creating, I’m unable to also move comments that are in the original files, and it’s 100% important to retain those with their corresponding layouts. For example, I had a board that was for a discovery phase, and there were many team comments added to it as we were learning and sharing info. I wanted to combine it with the board where we were now in the ideation phase so everything for this project would be contained in a single file, but I had to screenshot the comments from the discovery file and add them to the new file as images directly on the board, or drop them as images into new comment bubbles in the new file.Please make them portable between files in the future!

When I use the shift-i keyboard shortcut and search for a component, I can’t differentiate between similarly-named components. The name is cut off after 11 or 12 characters. No additional info is shown on hover.Some of my components have similar names. Two examples are “toolbar experiment 1” vs “toolbar experiment 2” and “comp-input-search” vs “comp-input-string”. These look the same in this popover.How can I see the full names of the components that show up in this popover?

Hello, I think I’ve posted this, but must be in the old Forum.A really helpful feature to add to Figma would be the ability to control the order of items in design and prototype mode as they stack in wrap mode. This makes components more adaptive responsive capable across breakpoints, versus fluid responsive, which is just standard top to bottom order.Thanks,-Scott

Designing an app using Figma involves several key steps. Here’s a concise guide to get you started: Set Up Your Figma Account: If you don’t have an account, sign up at Figma's website. You can use the web app or download the desktop version. Create a New File: Start a new design file by clicking on the “New File” button on your dashboard. Define Your Project: Outline the purpose of your app, target audience, and key features. This will guide your design decisions. Create Frames: Use the Frame tool (F) to create artboards for different screens of your app (e.g., home screen, settings, profile). You can set specific device dimensions (like iPhone or Android) for accuracy. Design the User Interface (UI): Use Components: Create reusable components (buttons, icons, etc.) to maintain consistency. Typography: Choose fonts and set text styles for headings, body text, and buttons. Color Palette: Define a color scheme that aligns with your brand or app theme. Add Elements: Use shapes

New UI or Old UI?Well, many others must have already asked this question, but what is the point of this bottom toolbar?In the previous UI, all the app's tools were located on the sides and at the top, which is actually very practical and comfortable to use.   With this toolbar at the bottom, this ends up requiring an unnecessary downward movement that is quite annoying unless the user uses shortcuts to access the tools on the toolbar, the main element in the UI, (on large monitors this is really annoying). A solution to this discomfort would be to put the toolbar at the top again or allow this adjustment manually.  Auto LayoutThe auto-layout button, even though it only had a + icon in the previous UI, had a label that indicated exactly what it did. In the new UI, the auto-layout is just an icon and the user needs to keep the mouse over it to know what it does, something that can confuse new users or those who don't know the "Shift+A" shortcut. ShortcutsSpeaking of shortcuts, holding "S

It would be nice and quick and efficient to apply to an elements or components variables or style via command menu.

If you have many instances of a component, and you set props a certain way on the 1st instance, there is no way to quickly apply the same prop config to all other instances. “Paste to replace” does not work. “Paste properties” only pastes the visual properties (color, border…) In some cases (e.g. slotting), duplicating the 1st instance many times is not possible. → A “Copy/Paste component properties” item in the context menu would be very useful, and show an error tooltip (like for Paste to replace) if the target component is not the same as the destination one.

RGB, HSL are really pretty awful color spaces to work in because they are not perceptually uniform. According to Adam Argyle, this is the year for css color: State of CSS - YouTube as support for oklab, oklch and other color spaces will be supported by major browsers. We shouldn’t need to wait for all browsers to implement this, however, before we see support in Figma as there are libraries to help with extended color space support (in fact, there are quite a few figma plugins that add lch color support, so surely the figma team could also add this to the app). Would you please consider adding support for more color spaces in your color picker? Also adding support for specifying the color space for gradients would be fantastic (Color Spaces for More Interesting Gradients | CSS-Tricks - CSS-Tricks)

I’m sure most if not all of us need to share prototypes with people who do not have nor need a seat in Figma for design work. The current experience for these users/clients is real janky.We create a nice clean prototype link to share—toolbars hidden and hotspots disabled.The client wants to leave some comments, but first they have to create an account.Once they create their account (which includes a series of annoying questions they shouldn't have to answer just make a comment—ie. their industry, their role, if they've used Figma before,) they don't get kicked back to that nice clean prototype link we sent. They get thrown into the Figma design space, which is a nightmare for them.From the standpoint of a client, the whole user experience for commenting needs some major work.It should be more like create account, verify email, choose your name, redirect to the prototype link the designer provided.

I’d love to see variable support for stroke dash and gap. Is this on the roadmap already?

It’s the one feature that seems to be missing to be able to move my slide creation work over from the various others (PPT, Canva, etc.) I’ve used over the years.

It would be AMAZING if we had the ability to save frames as presets for custom work that can have responsive viewport sizes, this way we can design properly for responsive design.

I’d like to organize the left-hand “Pages” panel by adding color codes to each page. (Think how Mac’s OSX Finder allows you to add colored circles to individual files.) Additionally, Pages should have the ability to be sorted into groups within a parent folder. (Think how you can make groups in Photoshop’s layers panel) This feature will make it easier for my team to organize our Experience Library file. Users need to be able to scan the Pages quickly. I’ve attached an example of what the color coding could look like.

When designing on my primary monitor, I want to see the selected frame on my second monitor as if it were a real app\website. However, Figma Mirror doesn’t display frames accurately – it simply scales them to fit horizontally, leading to inconsistent sizing.While I can use Prototype view and manually set a preferred scaling option, it doesn’t dynamically follow me as I switch between frames in the editor, unlike Mirror.I propose adding full scaling controls to Mirror, accessible via the Z key, including a responsive option. Alternatively, an option for Prototype view to follow the selected frame in the editor would solve this as well.

When editing a layout in Figma, a copy doc needs to be updated in parallel. This can be time consuming, and prone to error. For your consideration: A better Figma / Google Docs integration that streamlines our team’s workflow by either: Live updating copy in a Figma layout, as text is edited in a Google Doc (OR) Live updating a Google Doc as a Figma layout copy is edited This would help streamline our process by saving duplicate work, and reducing human error.

I am outraged. How do you imagine I allow all my devs to be full-seats and give them the ability to edit designs? How about design ownership? In a day all devs lost their inspect tool, and the only way to get it back is to move to Org Plan or give them a full seat risking to get full chaos in design ownership. Any suggestions on how your teams ar planning to overcome this?

In Czech Republic, we write dates as following: 21. 3. 2025 (spaces needed for formal format)But Figma changes this plain text to a numberred list, 21. being the marker, 3. 2025 being the editable text. And if I change it back in “type setting”, the “21. “ marker is gone. And there is no way to edit it. It also makes some padding and spacing changes.It’s very frustrating.

In Figma slides, when using the “Push” slide transition, you can see a very slight (maybe 1 pixel?) break between the two slides. I think you should make this seamless, if it’s technically possible.If you use similar backgrounds across your slides, removing this slight break will let you create slide transitions that look as if content is sliding in and out over top of a stationary background, enabling all sorts of neat effects that you would otherwise only be able to accomplish with smart animate and layers hidden off-canvas.I’m working on a presentation right now that, if it weren't for the slight break, I think I might actually try to apply that effect to every slide.

Now that we are migrating our projects to use variables, it would be much better if we could rename multiple variables like we can do with layers. Clicking and editing one by one if terrrible. So much slow. To do that to just a few variable is ok but when we want to change many of them it’s painful.

I build our design system and it would be so helpful to disable and enable components. This could help when something is a WIP or if you have a deprecated component page which is used for record keeping purposes. I want things to live in the same file but I don’t want a WIP or deprecated component to be searchable and pulled into a design. 

So, we have shortcut to add autolayout (shift+A) and then, we can do a variety of adjustments right on the canvas for that frame (adjust padding, gap, width, height). Then if we want to chance the alignment of the childs elements inside the frame we have to go to the right sidebar, select the alignment box and THEN we have other set of shortcuts, (Set alignment, Set alignment to edge, Toggle baseline alignment, Toggle gap between). But if I am already in the alignment box with the cursor, why would I use that shortcuts? I can change that right in the alignmet box (becouse Im already there!) So… for this shortcuts to be really usefull, We need a way to select the alignment box without going to the right sidebar and selected it. So a shorcut key for “select autolayout panel” or "select alignment box"would be a hugh difference, and we wolud have fully control of auto layout properties without leave the frame we are working on. This have sense to you to or what do you think?
