    Thanks for the video! I'm a GEG leader (love your Googley resources, great work! we tag you every bootcamp as the 'bible' for educators). So I try everything that integrates in our ecosystem. Jamboard of course, but as you know it's limited. Canva whiteboards also are very nice. They may have even more possibilities than figma, but they are only limitedly scalable. If you fill a board with too much content, you'll get at a freeze point with everyone that joins. Talking about 5à people adding about two to three multimedia assets to the board each. Does figma have the same limitation? Officially canva doesn't but it has the limitation experience learns. Also I heard here and there figma is having talks with Google for a Meet integration, like Miro (which I'm not fond of to say the least). Any news on that? Big thanks in advance!

    Thanks. Wish I could see from the student side. How do you prevent student from scribbling all over, specially the young ones ?

    There is no "student" view. All editors have the same tools. Figjam is, by design, a collaborative space that requires cooperation from everyone. If you don't think your students can handle that, I would give them each their own document. Breaking your class into smaller groups helps too.
