Google Jamboard is Going Away December 31, 2024

The Google Workspace for Education Team recently provided the following information regarding the transition away from the Jamboard digital whiteboard app:

Between October 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024, the Jamboard app will be placed in "view-only" mode and you'll no longer be able to create new or edit existing Jams on any platform. During this time you can continue to back up your Jam files.

Jamboard files (Jams) currently saved in Drive will automatically be converted to PDFs for all users. PDF conversion begins October 1, 2024, and the PDFs will be placed in the same Drive location as the Jam:

  • PDF conversions are done on a best-effort basis.
  • The PDF will have the same created and last modified dates as the original Jam and shared with the same users.
  • After PDF conversions, Jams will remain in Drive (until 12-31-24) and can still be imported to other compatible whiteboards. 
  • After December 31, 2024, Jams will be deleted and can no longer be migrated. The PDFs will remain in Drive.
