Do more with video in your prototypes. We’ve made it easier to create realistic video players in Figma.

Add interactions that let you play, pause, mute, or skip to timestamps in a single frame. And you can now trigger events with video playback.

See more in the 🧵 You can now preview videos in the design panel. Play or scrub the video preview and get the perfect timestamp for your interactions.

Working smarter, not harder also applies to prototyping. 😉

Here are six #FigmaTips from Designer Advocate @_AnaBoyer for prototyping in Figma.

1/ Draw prototyping links from navigational components to reduce the need for repeatedly drawing connections. 2/ Create interactive components in your libraries, so designs that use those components already have micro-interactions built into their prototypes, adding an additional level of fidelity.

A few months ago, @linear experienced a DDoS that took down their freshly redesigned site. 💔

We spoke with their team about how they got the idea to make their homepage their Figma files, unintentionally throwing the Figma party of the year…

bit.ly/3FWkvJa A few days prior to launch, @pacocoursey had teased the team's in-progress Figma files. Was now the perfect opportunity to finally share them with the world?

This is a story of a Figma bug that wasn’t a bug at all.


In November of 2019, one of our users reported this: ⁝ MW I have problem in zooming into my particular element as the In short, pressing Shift+2 using one key worked, but pressing Shift+2 using the numeric keypad key didn’t.

Curiously, the bug only happened on Windows, and not on a Mac.

It’s the coldest of takes that as a designer you have to learn to constantly switch between thinking of big things and considering details. ⁝ MW The former is crucial, but the details can make or break a product. On the other hand, details can also suffocate you – there are endless small fixes, torrents of bugs, and infinite polish that could be applied to anything… but there is never infinite time.

Hi! This is Marcin.

For the last year or so, I have been obsessed with Sutro Tower, a TV and radio tower that’s almost exactly in the center of San Francisco. It’s 300m in height, and sitting on a hill that’s just as tall itself. ⁝ MW The tower has been there since 1973, and it’s become a weird icon – a thing you must acknowledge is not beautiful in any traditional sense, but you grow to like over time as an almost-constant skyline companion in SF.

What’s up people!? It’s @nannearl_ 👋🏾🙂 I do research for the growth team here at Figma & they’re tossing the keys my way to run this thing for the day… so I guess that’s what’s happening. 😅 brb *googles “how to tweet professionally”*

-Nannearl Gonna use this thread to share 3 things about me (because, why not?), starting with: 

1. I’m very good at answering questions with questions (which is why research is right up my alley, I guess). Ask me anything & I’ll have a question ready for you. 😎
