Google Jamboard is a versatile digital whiteboard for students, educators, and professionals to collaborate in real time. One key feature of the service is the ability to duplicate slides, allowing you to create copies of your content for various purposes. This article explains how to do this on your top-of-the-line Android tablet or computer.
Google's innovative take on the good old whiteboard is headed to the graveyard
Jamboard devices and the accompanying app will be discontinued in late 2024
Google constantly cooks up new inventions, but many of them were put out to pasture. Some of those products were beloved by users and did not deserve to be phased out, while others were probably never going to catch on. The company used to get rid of a bunch of products once every quarter, but now it just does it whenever it wants. The latest to join the Google graveyard soon are the Jamboard app and its whiteboard devices.
Whiteboards are a popular collaboration tool to organize thoughts for meetings or projects. The rise of remote and hybrid work has made it harder to use whiteboards since people are not in the office together as often. Luckily, Google has a virtual whiteboard application called Google Jamboard to help colleagues and students work together from afar. Let's take a look at what Google Jamboard is.
Google Docs and Sheets will soon count against Drive storage, but the deadline is changing
Google Workspace users get a (temporary) reprieve from the changes
Google had always been fairly generous with its cloud storage, but that policy finally started to change late last year. In addition to losing out on free high-quality photo uploads, all files created in Drive will begin counting against your total storage allotment on June 1st. While that leaves most of us with just a couple of months left before these changes take effect, Workspace and G Suite users have been granted an extension, moving the date for those accounts to February 1st, 2022.
Google Docs, Sheets, and other files will take up more account storage in 2021
The company is also taking a more aggressive approach to accounts that are inactive or use more than their fair share
Google is set to implement a major change to its consumer cloud storage policy. From June 1, 2021, new files created in Drive — including Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, Forms, and Jamboard — will count against users' 15GB free allotment and any supplementary Google One storage. This is in addition to attachments in those files, which already do count. The news comes at the same time a similar revamp was announced for Google Photos storage.
Google announced a number of changes to its enterprise hardware lineup today: an updated Hangouts Meet conference hardware set for larger rooms, wider distribution and new AI-assisted functionality for its interactive whiteboard-like Jamboard device, and the inclusion of the Jamboard app as a core service in the G Suite.
Google's Jamboard looks like an awesome collaborative cloud-based whiteboard for enterprises. I haven't used one, like almost everyone here, but if I worked in a physical company (the virtual AP offices don't count), I'd probably be begging my boss to get us one. Jamboard was launched in May in the US and now it's rolling over the Atlantic to the UK.
Google announced the Jamboard a few months ago, which is a business-oriented product you are probably not going to buy. Each one of these smart whiteboards costs $5,000, plus another $1,200 if you want the rolling stand. There's an app though. The app is free, but its capabilities are limited without the $5,000 piece of hardware.
Back in October of last year, Google announced a rather interesting product - a whiteboard. However, the Jamboard is no ordinary whiteboard; it's a cloud-connected digital whiteboard with an ultra high-definition display. For just $4,999 plus annual fees in the hundreds, you can have a Jamboard of your very own.
Back in October, Google announced the Jamboard, which is a digital whiteboard for G Suite customers. At the Google Cloud Next event today, pricing and availability was announced: $4,999 to purchase plus a $600 yearly maintenance fee. Oh, you can cut that $600 in half for the first year if you order by September 30.
Google's latest hardware product is not a new Chromebook, or a phone, or a tablet. The company revealed the Jamboard in a blog post today, calling it, "the whiteboard, reimagined for collaboration in the cloud." No, this isn't April Fool's Day, Google did actually announce a whiteboard.
