Notice from ITSS: Google is going to retire Jamboard

Posting Date(s)

Google has announced the retirement of the Google Jamboard application.

From now until October 1, 2024, the Jamboard application will continue to function normally. From October 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024, the app will be placed in “view-only” mode to give you time to back up your Jam files.

While the app is in “view-only” mode, you’ll no longer be able to create new or edit existing Jams on any platform, including the web, iOS, Android, and Jamboard devices. On December 31, 2024, Google will shut down the Jamboard application, and you will no longer be able to access your Jam files. Any remaining Jam files will be deleted. 

Prior to December 31, 2024, you can export your Google Jamboard content following the instructions posted here: Export your Jams - Jamboard Help (google.com)

As an alternative to Google Jamboard, Microsoft Whiteboard is currently available for all UPEI M365 accounts.
