Zight

What is Zight?

Zight (formerly CloudApp) is a powerful visual communication tool designed to streamline workplace collaboration and reduce unnecessary meetings. It enables users to easily capture screenshots, record screen videos with webcam overlays, and create GIFs for asynchronous messaging. By automatically generating a secure, shareable link for every capture, Zight eliminates the friction of manually saving and uploading files. Its mission is to boost team productivity by providing an intuitive platform for visual bug reporting, personalized customer support, and easy-to-follow step-by-step guides. With recent additions of AI-powered summaries and auto-transcriptions, it serves remote teams, developers, and product managers who need to explain complex concepts quickly.

How to use Zight?

To get started with Zight, download the desktop app for Mac or Windows, install the Chrome extension, or use the iOS app. Use customizable keyboard shortcuts or the app menu to select your desired capture mode: full or partial screenshot, screen recording (with optional webcam and system audio), or GIF creation. Once you finish capturing, Zight automatically uploads the file to its secure cloud and copies a shareable link directly to your clipboard. You can then instantly paste this link into Slack, email, Jira, or Zendesk, and use the web dashboard to add annotations, view viewer analytics, or leverage AI to generate a text summary of your video.
