Jamboard shutdown: Export your Jams and migrate to Miro, FigJam or LucidSpark

Google is shutting down Jamboard, its collaborative digital whiteboarding service and hardware, on December 31, 2024. Jamboard will be view-only starting October 1. 

Why is this happening? Google says that its customers are using third party whiteboarding platforms, which have gotten great new features. Google will focus on "core content collaboration across Docs, Sheets, and Slides."

Jamboard will start "winding down" on October 1. At that time: 

• The Jamboard app (jamboard.google.com) will become view-only, so you cannot create new Jams or modify existing Jams
• Google will start converting Jams to PDF files. 

If you have Jams you want to keep or continue working on, you can export the Jams or migrate your Jams to a different platform. Google has integrated Miro, FigJam and LucidSpark add-ons with Meet, so you can continue to collaboratively whiteboard in meetings. 

If you have a 55 inch Jamboard device, they will no longer work with Jamboard or Meet, but you can continue to use it as a touchscreen display.

Whiteboard in Google Meet

With this update, you will no longer be able to collaborate with Jamboard in a Google Meet meeting.

Google Meet offers third party integrations with Miro, FigJam and Lucidspark so that you can continue to collaborate in Meet meetings. 

To launch a third party add-ons in a Google Meet meeting on Desktop: 

1. In your Meet meeting, click the Activities icon at bottom right. 

2. At the top of the Activities panel, you will see Featured Add-Ons. If the Add-On you want to install is featured click it. 

Otherwise, click the + icon at bottom right to open Google Workspace Marketplace for apps that work with Meet.

3.  Select the add-on. 

4. Click Install.

You can then launch the app from the Installed Add-Ons list on the Activities panel. 

Note that to use the add-on in the Meet Android app you also need to install the add-on app from the Google Play Store. 

Apps will not be available if: 

• You use a Family Link account or you are under the age of consent.
• You joined the Meet meeting anonymously, without being signed in to a Google Account.
• The meeting host has assigned you the Viewer role.
• You are using an iPhone (add-ons are currently only available on the web and Android devices)
• For business account users: Your Google Workspace admin has blocked the app, you are attending a client-side encrypted meeting, or you are viewing an internal live stream event.

These integrations are also available if you access Meet using the Series One Desk 27 or Series One Board 65 hardware.
