What is Mural?
Mural is a visual collaboration platform where teams work together on shared digital whiteboards called murals. Members add sticky notes, drawings, images, icons and diagrams to an infinite or resizable canvas, either live or at different times. A set of facilitation features helps whoever runs a session: timers, anonymous voting, private mode, a laser pointer, content that can be hidden and revealed, and the ability to summon everyone to one spot. More than 250 templates cover activities such as brainstorming, retrospectives and journey mapping. Mural AI is presented as a way to start brainstorms, analyse feedback and suggest next steps. The product connects with tools including Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Slack, Jira Cloud and Google Workspace, and runs on the web plus iOS, Android, Windows and macOS apps. Plans range from Free to Enterprise, and the company also sells LUMA training services.
