Embedding Jing Videos on Wordpress.com

| | Comments (1)

One of our users, Julia Brewster, was having some issues with embedding Jing Videos on her Wordpress.com blog. Instead of displaying her video, nothing would show up. Quite frustrating, if you ask me.

Fortunately, she went out to the WordPress.com forums, posted her problem, and with some help from the community, she quickly found the solution: The Vodpod Button.

With this button, you can post just about any video to your WordPress.com blog, including your Jing videos hosted on Screencast.com. This works for Jing and Jing Pro, and it's quite easy.

Here is how:

  1. Create a Screencast.com Output Button in Jing that returns Embed Code instead of the URL.
  2. Add the VodPod Extension to your Browser (should work with most major browsers).
  3. Record your video with Jing, and share it using the newly created Screencast.com Embed Code Output Button. This will copy the Embed Code to your Clipboard.
  4. Click on the Vodpod Button. This dialog will appear:
  5. Paste the Embed Code in the Embed Code field.
  6. Enter your Wordpress.com Login Information.
  7. Enter the Post Details (Title, Body etc.)
  8. Publish your post, or choose 'Send to blog editor' to further edit your blog post. Then publish it.
  9. Your Video will now be embedded on your blog and people can easily watch it.

For those of you who'd like to see the Vodpod button in action, watch this video:

So as you can see, adding Jing videos to your blog can be quite easy. I hope to see more and more embedded Jing videos on Wordpress.com blogs.
Do you have a good example? We'd love to see it - share it in the comment section!
