This is a bummer, I use Jamboard (the software not the hardware) to draw diagrams during Zoom calls and send the link to participants after. I mostly use a Wacom tablet to do the actual drawing. Any good free alternatives out there ? Edit: The proposed alternatives they mention in the update (FigJam, Lucidspark, and Miro) really don't fit that workflow.

I've been enjoying Excalidraw a lot[^1]. It lets you share diagrams without accounts and you can even collaborate in real-time. [^1]: https://excalidraw.com/ https://excalidraw.com/

  For a tool that combines both, meetings like zoom and embedded Excalidraw, check out https://oorja.io https://oorja.io ; You create a room, click on "+" button inside to add Excalidraw. Disclaimer: This is my side project.

  Seconding Excalidraw! A feature I really like: you can export diagrams in PNG with the scene data embedded in the image metadata. This lets you modify the diagram by opening the PNG image directly.

I built https://flat.social https://flat.social that has whiteboarding functionalities (among others). Not as advanced as Miro or FigJam but useful for quick diagrams during meetings / brainstorming.

Maybe not your workflow but I am so happy that we stopped using Jamboard and switched to Miro. It’s a universe filled with joy and happiness and freedom. Now I am looking for a free Miro alternative with at least two users and nothing is even close. Not sure what’s happening in the industry that makes people produce horrible UX and not being able to see how Miro does it properly.
