    We used Jamboard at a previous job. It was atrocious. Very quickly was replaced with one of the huge Surface devices, which, due to just running a real OS, let people use the whiteboard tools built into other conferencing tools, as well as figma.

    And this company was almost exclusively conferencing with Google hangouts (whatever name it was going by that particular day). So it wasn’t an issue of mixing services.

    Guess I’ll add that to the list.

    In all honesty I’m impressed it lasted 8 years. Google have killed bigger projects in much shorter times.

      Seems FigJam is somewhat popular in the space? It’s an Adobe product now since they acquired Figma. There’s also Miro and LucidChart that are popular

      That’s why Google announces the end of things unlike other companies who will just silently let them fall into obscurity. They don’t want to mislead people

    I deployed a few of these. They were 10 years behind the curve. The monitor weighed as much as a flat panel from 15 years ago, the stand was fucking HUGE making it hard to move. The camera and microphone were an afterthought and not worth using (the mic would pick up every little touch on the Jamboard). The entire thing felt like it was built for design first rather than function
