The Jing Project - Free Software to Record Your Computer Screen
Jing is a screencasting computer program. It was first released by TechSmith Corporation in 2007. This program allows users to record and upload videos and photos of their computer screens. The videos are then available online and on FTP. They can also be stored on your computer's clipboard. This is a handy way to demonstrate a product or process to others.
Jing was originally designed by TechSmith for its internal use but has since been released as a public service to the public. It is now free to use for any company, educational institution, or individual. As of this writing, Jing supports all major platforms, including Mac OS X and Windows. Moreover, it is easy to use and is unobtrusive enough to remain in the background.
Another benefit of Jing is that it is very customizable. You can choose to record only specific parts of the screen or all of it. It also records every action performed on the screen. The recordings can be shared online using the screencast account. The uploading speed is similar to that of Facebook. This tool has the potential to become a great tool for online discussions.
Besides the screen recording feature, Jing also features social features. You can share screenshots and videos with friends instantly.
