Google Jamboard is a cloud-based collaboration kiosk designed to be stored in communal areas and conference rooms. It combines video conferencing and business collaboration software with the digital whiteboard to allow for remote and local personnel to communicate during meetings.

Here, we’ll cover just some of the reasons why you should consider investing in Google Jamboard:

  1. G Suite compatibility: Google Jamboard includes G Suite Software on a huge touchscreen monitor. The tool enables cloud-based collaboration between remote users across the Google G Suite apps, as well as Google maps and the Chrome browser. It uses a custom version of Android 6.0 marshmallow.
  2. No stylus required: Unlike the Microsoft surface hub, users on Google Jamboard can use any soft object or even their finger to make screen marks.
  3. Easy to use: Anyone included in a “Jam session” can access a document drive link to access content created in the session, which is saved consistently on Google Drive, just like sheets and Google Docs.
  4. Simple participant adding: Clicking a user can add them to the Jamboard session. These users can be added as document observers or video participants. However, you can’t send collaboration requests outside of the G Suite license
  5. Unlimited collaboration: The amount of people who can join a jam is unlimited. Anyone who is registered as a G Suite user with the companion app can get involved. Up to 50 people at a time can access a Jam through Google hangouts.
  6. Handwriting brush: The innovative “handwriting brush” uses shape recognition software to clean messy handwriting. The brush transforms illegible writing into easy-to-read text instantly.
  7. Great video: Thanks to a wide-angle 1080p webcam and a 4k monitor, you’re sure to see everything clearly.

Features:

  • 55-inch 4k monitor
  • Wide angle 1080p webcam refreshing at 60Hz
  • Array of ports including USB type C, HDMI 2.0, USB 3.0, Philips/Sony digital interface, ethernet input, format audio connector
  • Jamboard includes whiteboard eraser and 2 passive styli
  • Power button, source input, and volume buttons

Google Jamboard is an innovative new whiteboard solution for people who wanted more than the Microsoft Surface.
