GigJam

GigJam is a cool tool from Microsoft that makes sharing info with your team super easy. It's part of the Office 365 collection and you can use it with your Google or Microsoft account. That means you don't have to remember too many passwords!

Using GigJam in Full-Screen Mode

The app has a resizable window, but trust me, you'll want to go full screen for the best experience. When you launch GigJam, it automatically starts a new gig for you, and you can easily add cards. These cards give you quick access to documents and photos.

Predefined Cards and Integration

What's really neat is that GigJam comes with predefined cards that connect to popular online services like Wunderlist. You can also hook it up with cloud storage solutions so everything is right at your fingertips.

No Storage Worries!

Now, here's something important: GigJam doesn't actually store your files or info. It just links directly to them! So if you log out for any reason, you'll need to re-enter those third-party account details when logging back in.

Sharing Made Simple

You can share each card in your GigJam workspace with others who also use the service. Just a heads up: your friends need to have GigJam installed on their devices too.

File Format Flexibility

This tool works well with most file formats supported by Microsoft Office. You get to pick what parts of the document you want to share or keep private. Just so you know, during our tests, we found out that it sometimes struggles with certain formats like PDFs—so if that happens, you'll have to hide the whole slide or page.

Your Sharing Settings

You're in charge! You can manage sharing permissions whenever you'd like and switch between "See with me" or "Work with me" modes. If needed, you can even turn off sharing completely! Plus, every user can add notes to their cards.

The Bottom Line on GigJam

In summary, GigJam offers a beautifully designed space where all relevant files and services come together for an individual gig. You can quickly share only what you want without fussing over editing documents or uploading them elsewhere. It's all about real-time content review while keeping things simple!
