Miggi shows how to use Figma sections for prototyping. Besides being a wonderful organizational tool, sections give you the ability to remember the states of areas of your prototype.
Anyone else love sections in Figma? @miggi takes it one step further to show you how to use sections for prototyping. pic.twitter.com/Z3IJZnRGjW

Designer Advocate Ana Boyer with great recommendations for reducing noodles, creating micro-interactions, and organizing separate designs into flows.
Working smarter, not harder also applies to prototyping. 😉

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

While the community file is super simple, I love how its prototype is used as a quick landing page, with links and animations. Fast and scrappy!

A quick tutorial for creating and prototyping a tab bar menu.
Miggie shows how to prototype overlay transitions for thumbnails using interactive components. This tutorial is intermediate and covers the use of overlays, Auto Layout, interactive components, and placing images.
Anthony gives a tip on adding prototype scrolling and interactive components inside your Figma presentations.
“Prototyping in Figma just got an update. In this livestream, Designer Advocate Ana Boyer and Product Designer Nikolas Klein will walk you through adding videos to prototypes, how to build and edit multi-flow prototypes, faster, and demonstrate how to bring others along. Community members Mirko Santangelo and Jannis Smesny will also join to demo how they use the new features.”
“You can create connections from multiple objects to the same destination frame at once — saving you time and effort when building out your prototype flows. To do so, select multiple starting hotspots on your canvas, then click and drag the + icon to the destination.” See Nikolas Klein showing the feature in action, or watch “Office hours: Prototyping like a Pro” below for a deep dive.
Ana and Miggie are back streaming their experiments with Figma prototypes. This time they cover drag interactions and video among other things.

As always, Vijay Verma pushes the limits of Figma with a fun experiment based on Auto Layout and an animated prototype. Great to see how easy it was to build and control.
Another fun experiment using @figma prototype. I made this small head rig last week. Creating this was lot of fun 😍. By using cavas as masks and combining with autolayout, I created this so quickly. Sharing behind the scene below 🧶 pic.twitter.com/funSf3WtuD

“Figma prototypes are now accessible for screen readers. Learn how to turn on accessibility mode and how Figma design elements are translated to HTML for screen readers to interpret and understand the content and interactive elements in a design file.”
“Video gives us the ability to enrich any user experience, making prototyping with real media crucial. In this tutorial, we’ll go over the basics of how video work in Figma, and use them in both simple and complex designs.”
Alex Oyebade shows how to use videos in prototypes.

Free plugin to convert any website into a fully editable Figma mockup. Not building each element from scratch is a huge time-saver if you’re picking up on a project with outdated or missing design files.
In this video, Figma Bites teaches the basics of prototyping in Figma and covers interaction details, navigation options, multiple flows, and more. By the end of this video, you’ll be able to create stellar prototypes that help convey your ideas interactively.
Two more updates to prototypes: drag to select multiple interactions to edit or delete all at once, and create interactions from any edge of an object for easier-to-read prototypes.
Now you can incorporate videos into Figma prototypes for richer, more realistic experiences. Videos can be viewed on any Figma plan, but only users on paid plans can upload new videos into files. See the playground file for more details.
