Why you’d use it
Effective team meetings are a critical component to unlocking innovation facilitated by human connection and collaboration. A key component of this is the ability to communicate seamlessly whether you’re joining in a meeting room or remotely. Bringing Google Meet into Jamboard allows everyone in the meeting to collaborate while having a conversation.
This is particularly helpful for presenters, who can share their Jam to illustrate a new idea or concept, and receive their audience's reaction in one place. Collaboration is even easier, allowing everyone in the meeting to co-create on a whiteboard without switching between tabs or apps.
As with other capabilities, such as Meet in Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, we hope this update empowers teams working together in-real time, regardless of location.
