What’s changing
We’re expanding interoperability with Google Meet and Jamboard with the option to join or start a meeting directly from Jamboard on the web. This makes it easier for you to seamlessly present your jam and start collaborating. This feature is available on the web.

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.
