Help the Help: Embed Code
Hi, you may know me (right) as the blog guy, but I also run the Jing Help Center with my German buddy Anton (left). We work together to create the topics, then he does the videos and I provide the written parts.
Embed code topics are the bane of our existence.
What the heck is embed code? Does it apply to me? How would I use it? How do I change it?
Check it out: We've updated our embed-related content. Most importantly, Screencast.com Embed Code (It also includes a new printable PDF option).
We *think* this is a big improvement. But how do we really know? One way to find out is if you tell us! Check out a topic or two then leave us some comments on this post. Don't hold back. We have thick skin and I doubt it can be worse than the back and forth Anton and I have. All we care about is helping people be successful with Jing.
So, put us to the test. After visiting the Screencast.com Embed Code topic, do you:
- Understand what embed code does?
- Know whether or not this feature is something that would be useful to you?
- Think you could create a new button that returns embed code?
Thanks for your feedback!

Hey guys. My only problem with embed code is that I don't own to picture at that point. If for some reason your server went down then I would not have access to that picture. It's like what happens when YouTube pulls a video I have embedded. And that is very frustrating. It doesn't happen a lot, but usually just when I need it.
It's possible to download Youtube videos to use as a backup should you find yourself without a Internet connection. Just perform a search for "Download Youtube video " and use one of services you find. Since the video will be a flv file you'll need to use a converter service (media-convert) or a flv player (flow player, vlc media player) to play the video.
Hope this helps
