Full-Screen Video Conferencing on Jamboard

Jamboard is a collaborative whiteboard you can use to create and edit content with other users. With Jamboard, remote collaboration, video conferencing, and presenting content is seamless.

Full-Screen Video Conferencing on Jamboard

Starting April 2019, Jamboard integrates more closely with Hangouts Meet. It gains support for fullscreen video conferencing and becomes an even better companion to Hangouts Meet Hardware in meeting rooms. So how do you benefit as a Google customer?

Customers will be able to configure the board to use full-screen video conferencing on Jamboard, a much eagerly awaited functionality.
Customers can use the Jamboard as a standalone video conferencing solution. This feature update allows users to use basic video conferencing functionality while remote whiteboarding.

Notify customer admins to enable the setting in admin console or configure their board into the appropriate setting before June 30. Starting June 30, all boards will automatically update to have the full-screen video conferencing functionality ON by default.

Timeline:

April 30 - Feature launch default OFF - Admins must configure the setting in the admin console to get the update.
June 30 - Admins who have made no selection will get an automatic upgrade.

What does it do?

Admins must first enable this feature in admin console and then assign a room calendar to the board
