Key benefits of Zight (formerly CloudApp)

Screen Capture - Quickly show others exactly what you mean by capturing and sharing your screen. You can choose to capture a point-in-time image as a full or partial screenshot, or dynamically record your screen into a video or gif. Searchable and secure, your data is organized and in one place.

Screenshot - Screengrab. Screencap. Screensnip. A screenshot by all its names still rules! Zight allows you to take a full or partial screenshot. It automatically stores the image to the cloud for easy access and allows you to edit, annotate and share it easily. No more desktop screenshot clutter for you.

Screen Recording - Record your screen with audio and share exactly what you’re thinking and seeing. Quickly communicate ideas with more than novel-length textual descriptions. No more wordy explanations – just clear visual demonstrations via screen recording.

Webcam Recording - Get some face time anytime. Add a human touch to your digital content. Record videos with your webcam or record with a webcam overlay on a screen recording. Add an interpersonal touch and stand out.

GIF Maker - Record your screen as a loopable GIF to explain difficult concepts and give clear instructions. No long-worded emails are needed. Just drag the GIF directly into your message and “show don’t tell.”

File Sharing - Content created in Zight is automatically turned into an easy-to-share link, but you can also upload large files of any type and turn them into easy-to-share links with optional password protection and expiration dates. Searchable and secure, your data is organized and in one place.

Annotations - Add clarity with annotations. Use quick drawings, arrows, lines, emojis and other shapes. Blur any sensitive information or help bring attention to important details that might be overlooked or hard to find.

Analytics - Be in the know. See how many views and who has viewed your content. Weekly productivity reports help you recap your own productivity by sharing items viewed and time saved.

Video Editing - It doesn’t have to be perfect the first time around. You can edit content after creation. Trim or clip recordings. Crop screenshots.

Embed Content

Screenshot sharing done easy

Reviewed on 11/01/2019

Pros

I LOVE how easy it is to share (or save) screenshots with your teammates. Once you've installed the app, is as simple as just pressing the keyboard shortcut, select what you want to record and presto! A link is automatically copied to your clipboard and sharing takes "paste", and that's it!

Aside from taking a full-screen screenshot or a partial one, you're able to record your screenshots in a video or a one-minute gif. It helps when you want to explain/show your teammate a process.

Cons

I don't have anything negative to say. The app has a bunch of cool features, but I only use it to share screenshots/recordings quickly to my teammates and haven't had any issues with it.

It is one of the handiest tools in my online toolbox and saves me a lot of time now that I don't have to clip screenshots and then save them as images and upload them to an email. Now i can just paste the URL of the screenshot for anyone to see immediately

Pros

It is simple to use and makes sharing discoveries and problems with your team or with a support team so much easier

Cons

The Windows app has previously been a bit unstable and did not work properly for a while but recent updates have cured this.

I bought it a couple of years ago, but gave up quickly as the desktop app was very buggy. It recently got an overhaul and I wanted to give it another shot. I love all the features it boasts, but with a buggy interface, it falls flat on it's face for me.

Pros

I like that you can easily make screen captures and record a video of your screen.

It is great that you have a lot of space to put these files for sharing.

The personalized domain option is very cool. It gives a good impression when you share content immediately from your own domain.

Cons

The PC Desktop app is too buggy still, it got a huge overhaul and I went back to it - wanting to love it. But it is not quite there.

I ended up going back to Lightshot for screen grabs and then setting up CloudApp on a different hotkey for recording a video of my screen.

It does weird things. If for example you have a dropdown box open on a website for a screenshot to show somebody what to select. Then when you hit the hotkey to make the screenshot, it automatically closes the dropdown box before making the screenshot.

Overall its been a win for me and people are impressed when I share a video instead of just typing a response to a question they may have.

Pros

I work with a lot of people remotely and sometimes an email is not the best method to communicate. It's easier to record a video and share exactly what I need to. CloudApp solves that plus it easily integrates with my project management tool so people can just click and watch the video while in the app. I can also down the original file and upload it to other video sharing platforms like YouTube.

Cons

On a rare occasion, it can glitch when opening but it's a rare case for me. Usually, I just restart the application and its fine.

CloudApp is incredibly useful, user friendly and has become one of my favorite business and productivity apps.

Pros

As a tech enthusiast, CloudApp isn't the most exciting deal I've purchased, but it's actually by far one of the most useful ones. I'm impressed with how intuitive and useful this app is! It's reliable, user-friendly and has really streamlined my workflow.

Cons

I wish video uploads went by more quickly. It does seem to be a bit slower than other apps that do similar things, but this is only periodically, and overall, it's still a fantastic app that's been of great value to my business.
