About Zight
What is Zight?
Zight is a visual communication platform that replaces the old screenshot-and-attach workflow with instant sharing. Capture your screen with or without webcam, add annotations or blur sensitive info, and get a shareable link in seconds. No file uploads, no email attachments, no waiting. All files are stored in the cloud, so recipients see the latest version without downloading anything.
What problem does it solve?
It eliminates back-and-forth emails and meetings for visual feedback. Support teams document bugs faster, product managers share annotated screenshots, and remote teams stay aligned without slow file transfers.
Who is Zight for?
Best for remote teams, customer support agents, product managers, and solo creators who need to share visual feedback, document bugs, create quick how-to recordings, or build onboarding content. It is not for teams needing advanced video editing or live streaming.
Real use cases
Customer support agents create quick how-to recordings to resolve tickets faster. Product managers document bugs or feature requests with annotated screenshots. Marketing teams record product demos with webcam overlay and share instantly via link.
