Allow for guest collaborators

This is a deal-breaker to make FigJam a go-to cross-functional collaboration tool. Forcing users to create an account for a 1-time workshop is very frustrating and stunts the ability for adoption across the org.

On the creator/owner side, setting your share setting to “anyone with the link - can edit” and having that not be true also feels very untransparent and an unfortunate practice to see from a design company. I haven’t had a complaint to date, but this one is crossing a nerve - really hope to see this happen!

Chiming in to agree that this is vital functionality needed for workshop sessions in FigJam. I also work primarily with external guests.

Another interesting bug is that some of my clients’ company security systems affect the account creation process from inbox, resulting in failed account creation.

We attempted to get around this issue by giving them the direct link to our FigJam file (even if it’s view only) and have other editors transcribe for them. However, after failing account creation through email, they are taken to a log-in page (triggering their security) and disabling all inputs. They see this communication as a small toast message in the upper righthand corner, which prevents them from interacting with the login fields.

Our only option was to screenshare one user’s view through zoom and transcribe notes they would type in in chat. Not a great experience, and those external contributors can’t access the file at all.

We’ll have to move our progress into a Miro space in the short term unfortunately.

We use Miro internally a lot for group meetings. Yesterday Miro was down during a workshop and it was an opportunity to try out Figjam with a bigger audience. I’ve quickly created a board and shared a link, but guest participants could not have edit rights. It was really annoying, we wasted time and eventually had to come up with a different solution. I hope you can fix the access rights and allow guests to edit on Figjam.

+1 same here. Our pro subscription with Miro will expire soon, having guest/non-designer/outsider free access feature it’s mandatory for us to.

; )

This guest sign-in feature is essential because many of the people we use to collaborate in our workshops aren’t designers and don’t necessarily want to sign-up for an account. It is forcing us to go back to Miro despite FigJam having a more audience-friendly user interface. Please make this a feature ASAP.

For me it would be internal guests

+1 Absolutely essential functionality for us here also! Highly requested!

We need to invite participants that don’t have a Figma account.

Yes please!! Need the ability to add editors without login. As others have stated, most collaborators only need access for an hour or so, not long term.

This is a must-have for us.
