Adding a custom background to Google Jamboard

Google Jamboard is a collaborative online whiteboard that can be used as a creative workspace for your students.

By default, the background to your slides on Jamboard will be blank, but you might want to change that to allow your students to get creative with it. Now, if you add an image and use it as a background, you’ll notice it will be easy to move it around while interacting with other elements accidentally. How can we fix that?

Let’s start by getting to Jamboard by simply typing in “jamboard.google.com” in your search bar or by creating a new Jamboard file from your Google Drive. From there, you’ll be able to click on the “Set background” option and either select one of the built-in backgrounds or either upload one.
