Google Meet - Add a Jamboard within Meet

You can now add a Jam (Jamboard) from right within Google Meet!  (This features has been going live since the first of October.  If you do not see it yet, it will appear shortly...)  For those that have not checked out Jamboard, it is an interactive digital whiteboard you can use with others.  It can be especially useful with touchscreen Chromebooks. 

When in you Meet, click on the More Menu (three stacked vertical dots) in the lower right corner -


Select Whiteboard at the top of the menu -


You can select to either start a new whiteboard, or if you have set up a template or pre-created jam you can open an existing one from your Drive -

You will decide the permissions that others in the Meet have to the Jam. They can either have edit rights, or view only rights (eg. if you are demonstrating to them).  You can also select that anyone with the link can edit -

When you set the permissions, it will then share a link to the Jam in the Chat section of the Meet - 

You can resize your window to use the Jam, while watching the Chat or viewing the list of participants -
