Jing Tip: Organize your Jing Content on Screencast.com

| | Comments (2)

If you make a lot of Jings and share them via Screencast.com, your content is probably ending up in the default Jing folder. That's great and all...but it can get pretty crowded. Did you know you can have up to eight Jing buttons all of which could share to different Screencast.com folders? Plus, there are more reasons to create additional folders beyond just organization. Here are a few:

  • Make a button for videos you know you will use again. An example might be for frequently asked questions. When the question comes up again, don't re-make the video, just grab the link from Screencast.com. You could even make a playlist.
  • Make a button that returns embed code instead of the link.
  • Separate work content from play content.
  • Make a button that sends content to a password protected folder for clients, or a public folder a collaborative group can access.
  • Public folders are nice because people can view all the content in the folder--great for series or related content. Viewers can also tweet or share on Facebook to spread the word--only if the content is in a public folder.

Here's how you can set up additional buttons or learn more about sharing to Screencast.com in general.

I find that option in Jing does not insert the correct code in Wordpress.com blogs. I have to use vodpod and that will get the correct code to embed in a Wordpress.com blog.

For people having problems getting this code into your blogs, try:

http://vodpod.com/

Upload your video to screencast, then run VodPod. It works perfect.
