Google Workspace Changes

Jamboard files now appear in Google Drive for easier management and sharing.

To improve integration with G Suite, Jamboard files owned by users will now appear in their Google Drive folder. This allows users to open, copy, share, and search for jam files (using the search term 'type:jam') directly from My Drive across both web and mobile applications.

Landscape support for Jamboard mobile apps

Users can now interact with jams in landscape mode on both the iOS and Android Jamboard mobile applications.

Object connectors for Jamboard shapes

Users can now connect shapes on the Jamboard together by drawing lines between them, facilitating better diagramming and brainstorming.

Custom screensaver messages for Jamboard

Admins can now create a custom message in the Jamboard Admin console settings page under "Screensaver Message," which will display as a ticker on the Jamboard screensaver.

Custom backgrounds for Jamboard jams

Users can now select from a list of 7 unique backgrounds and patterns for their jams. Once selected, the background is applied to the jam across all devices.

Automatic document closeout for Jamboard kiosks

Admins can now configure a "Document Timeout" in the Jamboard Admin console, which allows Jams to be automatically closed if they are left open on a Jamboard kiosk for longer than a specified period of time.
