Cool. I'm going to use Open Broadcast Software. Now I just have to sort the hosting.
I think I'm going to use Google Drive and give anyone access who has the link. That should be secure enough.

Good point, Dash. I don't. But that's the only format Jing supports.
The open broadcast software gives you them as h264. Universal standard that just about everything uses now.
Universal as in worst Codec ever made..

The compression ratio you get for the naked eye image quality is brilliant. What codec can you get which runs on just about every device in existence right now, looks great & keeps the data rate small.

Personally, I'd upload to youtube, set the video to unlisted, then they can watch on mobile/PC/etc without needing to download files.

They don't need to with Google Drive either. It seems pretty much identical to Youtube (perhaps it actually is!).

What the same company using the same tech? No....

The image quality of H.264 isn't good. There are way too many P frames used in it.

The main problem with hosting on YouTube is you get adverts and suggestions of other videos, which doesn't look too professional. For example, at the end of your excellent AetherStore video I got a My Little Pony video suggested (disclaimer: my daughter uses my Google account).

I've been kind of grappling with this for my own business streaming needs.

Ah, you only get the adverts if you use other's content. Music/visual, etc. Or if you are trying to make money from advertising.
Suggested videos, you used to be able to turn that off per clip, I think Google forced it back on for everyone annoyingly, I'm sure their view counts across the site went up though.
I've now got a Vimeo account as video is something I want to do more with but I'm really annoyed that after paying for the upgrade, they had 3 periods of downtime in the magical forest within the week. Youtube with their suggested videos, no downtime.
