Zight
Screen recordings, screenshots and GIFs shared as instant links
What is Zight?
Zight is a visual communication tool for capturing screen recordings, annotated screenshots and GIFs and sharing each one as a link. A Request Video link lets a customer or colleague record their screen and send it back without an account or an install. Paid plans add AI that transcribes recordings and turns them into summaries and step-by-step guides, and a meeting recorder that returns notes and action items.
Zight has a free plan. Paid plans start at $9.95 per user / month, billed annually ($12.95 billed monthly). See every plan
