It’s never a dull day at the Google graveyard — the company has blogged a Workspace update today announcing the end of its collaborative Jamboard whiteboarding software.According to the blog post, Workspace customer feedback indicated the third-party solutions worked better for them thanks to feature offerings like an infinite canvas size, use case templates, voting, and more.
Google plans to provide “clear paths” to retain and migrate Jam data to FigJam, Lucidspark, and Miro “within just a few clicks.” The resources will be available “well before” the app winds down in late 2024.
Companies and schools with an upcoming renewal may remain subscribers up to that date at a prorated amount if they’d prefer to delay transitioning as long as possible.
Google will work with educational institutions to help compensate them for the old Jamboard devices and connect them with Figma, Lucid Software, and Miro to help them transition.
Update September 28th, 2:38 PM ET: Added a note that Google will work with educational institutions to compensate them for phasing out Jamboard devices.
