Jing (software)

Jing was a screencasting computer program launched in 2007 as Jing Project by the TechSmith Corporation.[2][3] The software took a picture or video of the user's computer screen and uploaded it to the Web, FTP, computer or clipboard.[4] If uploaded to the web, the program automatically created a URL to the content so it could be shared with others.[5]

On 6 January 2009, TechSmith released Jing Pro, a paid premium version of Jing.[6]

In February 2012, Techsmith announced Jing Pro is to be retired. All users (regardless of subscription) could use this service until 28 February 2013.[7]

On 14 July 2020, Techsmith shut down the support for uploading to Screencast.com in line with the previously-announced end of support for Jing.[8] TechSmith also changed the Jing product page[9] to point to a new product named TechSmith Capture that performs a similar function.
