There’s no visible scrollbar in Figma prototyping mode. Yesterday we’re having user testings and once again this same topic popped out. Some of the users didn’t thought that they could scroll prototype because scrollbar wasn’t visible. One of the user was using laptop’s touchpad and he wasn’t able to scroll with only using touchpad. Guiding user how to use prototype during test can harm testing situations. Atleast it’s sure that if user thought that he can’t scroll it leads to biased feedback about product.


If there’s some reason not to have scrollbar it could be atleast optional feature that designer could turn visible scrollbar on from options.


It’s not only who has came across with this weakness in Figma. Here’s old Spectrum thread about same topic but Figma hasn’t done anything for this yet and I hope this get more attention here.

Keeping this alive - it’s a must

Thanks it very helpful

Thanks it very helpful .

i am also running into this issue during usability tests this week- keeping this thread alive - its amazing how many windows users are looking for the browser scroll bar so the can click on it and drag it up and down… i didn’t even know people still tried to use scroll bars like this in recent decades - but they do for sure as i am learning

Almost 2025 and still running into this issue when user testing prototypes Figma!!

I cannot believe there’s still no solution for that issue …
