Summary and recommendation
Around user management can be run manually, but complexity usually increases with role models, licensing gates, and offboarding dependencies. This guide gives the exact mechanics and where automation has the biggest impact.
Around was a lightweight video-call tool acquired by Miro in June 2022 and permanently shut down on March 31, 2025. Its core features were folded into Miro Video Calls. There is no active product to manage, provision, or audit.

- Billing notes: Around was acquired by Miro in June 2022 and operated free of charge after acquisition. The product was sunset on March 31, 2025. No billing or seat-management data is publicly verifiable.
The cost of manual management
Because Around operated free of charge after its acquisition, seat costs were not a factor during its final years. No billing console, seat tiers, or license-management workflows were publicly documented before shutdown. Any time spent today on Around user management yields zero return - the product no longer exists.
What IT admins are saying
The shutdown created real data-loss risk: users had to manually download recordings before the closure date, as no automatic migration was provided. No documented path existed to move Around workspaces or user data into Miro; affected teams were told to create fresh Miro accounts.
Around's help center and all admin documentation were taken offline at shutdown, making historical workflow details unverifiable.
Common complaints:
- Product discontinued on March 31, 2025 after Miro acquisition in June 2022.
- Users were advised to download any recordings before the closure date, indicating recorded meeting data was not migrated or preserved automatically.
- No migration path for existing Around workspaces or user data into Miro was publicly documented; users were directed to create new Miro accounts.
- Around's help center and all user-management documentation were taken offline at shutdown, making historical admin workflow details unverifiable.
The decision
For IT and identity teams, Around requires no ongoing action - every app in your stack that is fully discontinued can be closed out rather than managed.
If your organization used Around, the relevant follow-up is confirming no orphaned accounts persist in your IdP and verifying that any needed recordings were retrieved before March 31, 2025. Future video-call needs should be evaluated against active alternatives such as Miro Video Calls, Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or Whereby.
Bottom line
Around is a discontinued product with no admin surface, no provisioning workflow, and no recoverable user data.
IT teams should treat it as fully offboarded: audit your IdP for any residual Around-linked identities, confirm recordings were saved before the shutdown date, and redirect video-call requirements to an active platform. No further manual management is possible or necessary.
