Even if you don't have the physical product

Google Jamboard refers to a piece of hardware and a software tool. Google Jamboard, the physical object, is a whiteboard on steroids. It costs almost $5,000 (and that’s without the $1,349 for a rolling stand). So far, it’s been used most often in the workplace and in distance learning environments like Google Classroom.

However, you don't need to own Google Jamboard to use the Jamboard app. In this article, we'll show you how to use Jamboard even if you haven't purchased the physical digital whiteboard product. Google Jamboard also integrates with other Google apps. In this tutorial, we'll also learn how to insert files from Google Photos and Google Drive.

A Google Jamboard is a 55” whiteboard display that connects to phones and tablets. Imagine you’re in a brainstorming session with some people in the room and others connecting remotely. The Jamboard in the room is available for participants to use as a traditional whiteboard, but it can also be projected into a Hangouts video meeting so remote participants can collaborate with the people in the room.
