Once you create or open a Jam, the screen will appear like a blank electronic whiteboard. Use the available tools on the left side to interact with the screen. A Jam can contain more than one Frame, like frames in a film.
Top of Screen Tools:
- Frame Selection arrows (left and right) allow you to automatically create and navigate between frames
- Zoom allows you to zoom in and out and fit to the screen.
- Background allows you to apply some colors, lines and grids to the Jam.
- Clear frame will erase everything except the background on the currently selected Frame.
Left Side On Screen Tools:
There are writing tools that simulate Pens, Markers, Highlighters and Brushes. The color choices are limited to the typical colors of dry erase markers. You can also use tools to Erase, Add Sticky notes and Insert images on the Jam. The Laser tool allows you to draw a temporary line like a laser point to draw attention to a part of the screen.
Right Side of Screen Tools:
Under the 3-dot Menu, you can Rename, Download as PDF (all frames are separate pages), Save frame as image, Remove or Make a copy of the Jam.
Note: The Open on a Jamboard function will not work, because it requires a registered Jamboard device.
