Jamboard now a core G Suite service

Last year, we introduced Jamboard, a collaborative digital whiteboard device with accompanying mobile and web applications, designed to take creativity and collaboration to the next level.

Under the hood, the Jamboard service allows G Suite admins to manage their Jamboard devices, and enables G Suite users to interact with jam content on their phone, tablet, or on the web. Jamboard combines the same collaborative benefits of real-time co-editing as other G Suite applications like Google Docs with a blank canvas that allows ideas and projects to come to life. We’re excited to announce that starting today, the Jamboard service will become a core G Suite service.

What this means:
  1. The Jamboard service is now covered under your existing G Suite agreement and offers the same technical support and service level commitments as any other core service.
  2. The Jamboard service will be removed from the list of Additional Google Services and added to the list of core G Suite services in your Admin console.
Note that the Jamboard service is launching default ON, but will respect your setting for opting in to new services.

To learn more about how a Jamboard device (currently available in the US, UK, and Canada, with more countries coming soon) can pair with the Jamboard service for the best possible team collaboration and creativity experience, visit the Jamboard website.
