Jing is a screencasting computer program launched in 2007 as Jing Project by the TechSmith Corporation.[2][3] The software takes a picture or video of the user's computer screen and uploads it to the Web, FTP, computer or clipboard.[4] If uploaded to the web, the program automatically creates a URL to the content so it can be shared with others.[5] Jing is compatible with Macintosh and Microsoft Windows.[6] Users must sign up for an account before using the software.
Its simple format and the ability to quickly upload screencasts have made Jing useful for virtual reference in libraries.[7]
On 6 January 2009, TechSmith released Jing Pro, a paid premium version of Jing.[8]
In February 2012, Techsmith announced Jing Pro is to be retired. All users (regardless of subscription) could use this service until 28 February 2013.[9]
