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]
