Present a jam to a meeting from your mobile phone

/in

As we continue to add new features to the overall Jamboard experience, we’ve been working to make the Jamboard app more functional and easier to use on your mobile phone. The latest jamboard release allows you to present your jams to a meeting directly from your phone, so you can share ideas with remote colleagues even if you don’t have a board nearby.

To present a jam to a meeting from your phone, simply tap the overflow menu in the upper right corner when viewing your jams, and select “Present to meeting.” Enter the meeting ID, tap “Join,” and then “Present”:

Present_to_meeting_blog_feature_01

While presenting, tap the laser pointer icon in the header and use your finger to highlight key areas of your jam:

Present_to_meeting_blog_feature_part_02

Swipe left or right to present different jams to the meeting:

Present_to_meeting_blog_feature_part_03

We’ve also made jams easier to create and share on the go, enhanced the experience to join a live jam session on a nearby board, and improved the overall mobile UI.

For a full list of new features and improvements from this month’s release, check out the What’s New in Jamboard page in the Help Center.

This launch also adds the ability to perform Drive or Gmail data restores for up to 10 people simultaneously. Admins can select a date range to restore data from up to 25 days in the past.

New Google+ Features for Enterprises

/in

On November 5th we are launching Restricted Communities as a feature in G+. This means that your Google Apps for Business customers will be able to restrict communities to only their organization. Restricted communities mirror the Public and Private communities in the consumer space, but these Restricted Communities can only be joined or seen by users in their organization.

The four types of restricted communities are:

 

The four types of restricted communities

1. Open within your domain – Anyone in your organization can join Everyone in your organizationEveryone in your organization Everyone in your organization
2. Open within your domain – Moderator approval needed to join Anyone in your organization can request to join, but moderators must approve membershipEveryone in your organization Everyone in your organization
3. Private in your domain – Moderator approval needed to joinAnyone in your organization can request to join, but moderators must approve membershipCommunity members Everyone in your organization
4. Private in your domain – Hide community from searchesOnly people in your organization who are invitedCommunity membersNot shown in search results**

*Restricted communities may not yet be searchable in your domain.

**The name and photo of a “private in your domain” community that’s hidden from search will still be visible to people in your organization who type in or follow a link to the community’s web address. The name and photo will not be visible outside your organization.

If you choose not to have search engines index your community, the community itself won’t appear in Google search results. However, your community will still remain visible to anyone in your organization with the URL. Other pages and content (including websites, blogs, and Google products such as Picasa Web) that link to your community can still appear in search results. If someone outside your organization follows a link to your organization, they will see an error and won’t be able to view the community.
