It provides the possibility for multiple users to collaborate. Jam is a special Google file with minimal interface and tools, so it is very easy to use; you can easily edit or move the elements on the pages (frames) using a smartphone, a graphics tablet or the touch screen of your phone.
The finished work can be downloaded and saved in PDF or image format.

You can automatically associate a Jamboard with Google Meet meetings, giving meeting participants read only or editing rights.
