Jing - great tool for communicating just about anything!

Urszula Richards - Tuesday, August 10, 2010
Jing is my most frequently used online tool.

It captures what you see on your screen in seconds - either a still image or a short video.  You simply save the image or video file to your computer, or you can email a link of the image/video to whoever you want.

I encourage everyone to use it - it saves hours of frustration and verbal explanations.  If you are asked to give feedback about a design or any other visual information, there is nothing quicker or more precise. 



  • showing an instant screen shot or video to tech support when funny things are going on with your computer
  • capturing an image from your computer
  • preparing training videos 
  • Jing Pro - (at just $14.95US per year) allows for higher quality sound, and up to 5 minute videos.
It can be downloaded on both a Mac and PC, and the website has a great short video which shows how to use it.

Here is a sample training video I created using Jing and which I then uploaded into YouTube.

One of its greatest strengths it its simplicity.  It only does a few things, but does them really well.
