Following its official launch back in May, Jamboard is helping businesses collaborate more efficiently by bringing the power of the cloud into their team brainstorms. Starting today, we’re adding several helpful features to both the Jamboard device and app to make this experience even more productive.
Object duplication
Users can now duplicate objects - on both their Jamboard device and app - by selecting an object and clicking on the duplicate icon in the upper right-hand corner.
Smoother typing
A new keyboard on the Jamboard device allows users to input text using Glide Typing, in addition to regular typing.
Easier object selection
The functionality of the Lasso selection tool has been expanded, allowing users to select both drawings and objects like post-its, stickers, and images and easily move or resize them.
Faster sharing
The “Add people” dialog in the Jamboard app now auto-suggests contacts based on history, matching address book contacts, and the user’s email domain.
For a full list of new features and improvements from this month’s release, check out the What’s New in Jamboard page in the Help Center. These features will roll out gradually over the coming week.
