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
Easily embed content without having to write any code. Sharing methods offer an embed code you can easily copy and paste wherever you want your content to appear.

Collections - Create folders to store and organize your content creations. Find items faster, share items with team members easier.

SOC2 - We take security seriously and are dedicated in our commitment to securing your data and information with a SOC2 Type II compliance certification.

CTA Button - Add a customizable call-to-action button to your videos. This clickable action can be added to videos. Link to an article, close a deal or schedule a meeting.

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.

Excellent integrations, simple to use, and much more than a screencasting tool

Reviewed on 12/01/2023

Pros

As the Head of Support, I use CloudApp on a regular basis. Sharing images, video demonstrations, and GIFs are simple and quick, and our clients like being able to see a video by clicking a single link without having to form an account. The ability to annotate also streamlines the process, and sharing is as simple as sending them a link, to which they may respond directly on the picture and video page. It's a comprehensive screen-capture video solution. It may be found in the Chrome taskbar. Intuitive and simple to use.

Cons

There are occasional problems, as with most things, but the one that irritates me the most is that trying to screenshot a whole web page frequently fails. Despite the fact that you have the choice to complete the entire page, it will just do the visible section. The security to log in might be frustrating at times. I understand wanting to secure an account, but for me, it's simply screenshots and doesn't require that kind of security; nonetheless, I can see why they have it.

Response from Zight

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, CloudApp delivers the services that were the basis of its design. Nevertheless, development must continue.

Pros

Allows me to create very short explanatory and demonstration videos to share with my collaborators.

Cons

Very insecure platform. Recurring large file upload and download failures. The team must make an effort to develop other features with security as a priority.

Pros

I like a bunch of features with CloudApp:
1. Screen recording
2. Annotation
3. The files are stored in the cloud, so I never have to worry about files not being there or getting lost
4. Their online storage also allows to create folders which helps to manage files on the cloud
5. Many times we used to use wetransfer for file transfer, now we use cloudapp

Cons

Sometimes it has hiccups when the windows is rebooted/turned on
