Can I add interactive elements like links and audio calls to FigJam files


Yes, you can add several interactive elements to FigJam files:

Links

You can add links to any element on a FigJam board. After selecting an element, right-click and choose "Copy link". This will copy a link that automatically zooms the viewer to that specific element when shared[5].

Audio Calls

FigJam has built-in audio functionality. Click the audio button in the top right corner to start an audio conversation with everyone in the file. Joining the audio is optional, so people can hop in whenever they want to[4].

This allows teams to discuss ideas and designs together without having to switch to a separate video conferencing tool.

Cursor Chat

When collaborating in real-time, you can use cursor chat to type messages that appear above your cursor. This is a quick way to have a conversation without audio[2].

The chat messages automatically disappear after a short time, so it's best for lightweight, in-the-moment discussions.

Emotes

Use the Stamp tool (shortcut E) to place emotes like thumbs up, heart, star, etc. on the board. This allows you to quickly share reactions and feedback[4].

Widgets and Plugins

FigJam has an ecosystem of widgets and plugins that add even more interactivity. Some examples:

- Widgets for playing games like dice or embedding content like videos and documents[3]
- Plugins that automate repetitive tasks or add custom functionality[1]

So in summary, FigJam provides built-in interactivity with links, audio, cursor chat and emotes. And the platform is extensible with widgets and plugins to add even more interactive capabilities.
