Zight

Zight (formerly CloudApp) is a visual communication tool for screen recording, screenshots, and GIF creation. It runs on Mac, Windows, Chrome, and iOS. It solves the slow, multi-step process of capturing, uploading, and sharing screen content.

Features

• Instant Cloud Sharing: Every capture auto-uploads to the cloud. A shareable link copies to the clipboard immediately. No manual upload steps are needed.
• Screen Recording with Webcam Overlay: Users can record their screen, microphone, and webcam together. Recordings export in HD and support system audio capture.
• Annotation and Redaction Tools: Users can add arrows, text, shapes, and blur layers directly on screenshots or recordings. Sensitive data can be redacted before sharing.
• Smart Actions and AI Features: AI auto-generates titles, transcriptions, and step-by-step guides from recordings. The tool also integrates with Slack, Jira, Zendesk, Asana, and GitHub.
• Request Video Tool: Zight generates a unique link. Recipients record and submit a video without installing the app. Submissions include browser console logs and network request data for developer-ready bug reports.

Use Cases

• For Customer Support Teams: Agents share annotated screenshots or short video replies via link directly inside Zendesk or Slack tickets.
• For Product and QA Teams: Bug reports include screen recordings with console logs attached. This cuts report creation time from minutes to seconds.
• For Remote and Async Teams: Team members replace long written updates with quick screen recordings. Links are pasted into Notion, Jira, or email for async review.
• For Onboarding and Training: HR or ops teams build step-by-step visual SOPs using the AI Guide Maker. Guides are shared via link without needing file attachments.

Zight is a cross-platform screen capture and sharing tool with strong async communication features. Teams that need fast, link-based visual sharing will find it more efficient than traditional file-based workflows.
