Google Jamboard will no longer be available after 31st December 2024. This will be across across Web, iOS, Android, and Google Meet devices, internationally, and is not Glow specific. Google have made this decision following feedback from customers that other whiteboarding tools have grown in capability and they have chosen to focus their resources on core content collaboration across Docs, Sheets, and Slides.
Timeline for the Jamboard wind down:
Until 1st October 2024 – Your Jamboard device and application will continue to function normally.
Starting 1st October 2024 – The Jamboard app will become view-only. You’ll no longer be able to create new or edit existing Jams on any platform, including the web, iPhone, iPad and Android.
After 31st December 2024 – You’ll no longer be able to access the Jamboard app or your Jam files.
Google will be working with other digital whiteboard suppliers on the migration of existing Jams onto these alternative platforms; however currently these platforms are subscription based. Google have suggested Google Slides or Google Drawings may be an alternative option to Jamboard in some situations
