As per
Google, Jamboard brings a lot of capabilities to the team members using it, and businesses can unlock the hidden creative potential of their employees with this amazing device. Jamboard supports up to 16 touchpoints at once on a single device. An entire team can join the same jam from other Jamboards and phones and tablets with the Jamboard app.
“Drop images, add notes, and pull things directly from the web while you collaborate with team members from anywhere. Jamboard brings your team together with the same real-time co-authoring that powers G Suite’s apps. Unlock your team’s creative potential – whether they’re in the same room using multiple Jamboards or across the world using the Jamboard app on a phone or tablet.”

However, you will have to pay an annual management and support fee of $600 for using the device. Jamboard is available in three colors: cobalt blue, carmine red and graphite grey. The gadget will soon be made available in the UK and Canada, hopefully this summer.
