Top Rated Zight Alternatives
I liked how you can easily review the recordings that you take and that you can see insights as to how many views your recording has gotten. The program was easy to download. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I was using it on a macbook pro connected to a monitor and I disliked how you couldn't actually move the application window on your screen. I found it awkward to us with the set up of two screens I had and for some reason the countdown for when the screen recording would start did not appear, I don't know if this is a setting you can turn on or off. The recording timer and stop/play buttons for the app appear in the application/status bar the the top of your screen but when you're presenting in full screen you can't see this which was not helpful for how I was using it.

With a free option that I can use every day, I can make very good-quality video clips with ease. Easy to use, the editing features are perfect for my work.
I loved it as Cloud App and it is even better now as Zight. Customer support is fantastic.
A new AI feature was added.

Nothing!
Absolutely nothing to dislike, this app has not let me down and the support staff have never let me down when I needed help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the fact it quickly allows you to screenshot something and send an photo or animated GIF in an email (as a link - hosted in the cloud) rather than as a photo attachment. This works wonders when someone forwards your email and the photos may have disappeared.
From a desktop perspective - I love the fact I can just drag a file to the icon and it uploads it and copies the shareable link to my copy/paste.
It makes sending files up to 1gb (even zipped folders up to 1gb) super easy.
Aside from sending video instructions easily and quickly inside emails (without needing to send attachments) is sharing files between computers.
I simply drag a file from one workstation into the CloudApp - seconds later it's uploaded and available to download on my other computer. Basically it's just faster than pluggin in a USB drive - saving me time at least a few times a week.

At the moment, and for the months I've been using it, they have zero love for Android users.
There was a third party app that worked with CloudApp but they've since broken that connection and now my Samsung S7 Edge is basically useless when it comes to CloudApp.
I would LOVE to be able to record videos using my phones cameras (front or back) to send quick and easy video emails - but they just haven't developed anything (literally zero apps) for Android. It's frustrating - but their desktop support (I use it on a Macbook Air and two Windows 10 workstations)
I also want the ability to "copy content" like on a Mac - but on my Windows computers. It's useful for pasting directly into Facebook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Zight is a great tool to have in your digital toolbox. It's handy, it's fast, and it is a good memory base as well. I use it every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A lot of clicks to download an item. For the rest I love it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Zight is a fantastic app that I find easy to use. On my Mac, it took a little time to figure out how to stop the recording, but once I did, everything else was simple. It's incredibly fast to finish recording and get a link to share. This makes it perfect for quick sharing and communication.
I was searching for an alternative to Loom and found Zight to be the best option. I'm so impressed that I'm upgrading to the pro version today, even before my trial ends. The extra features are worth it, and I can't wait to use them. Overall, Zight is a great tool for anyone needing quick and easy screen recording and sharing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The issue around finding the stop recording was a little bit annoying because it was a separate button up in my menu bar. I figure out how to use it, but I wish it was a little more user-friendly currently is. It might've been in a tutorial, but I jumped into this right away, cause I was excited to use it.

It's really a time saver, and the annotate options make it easier to demonstrate to anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's nothing I can say I dislike about it because it helped me a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The user experience is designed to minimise the time to achieve what you want to for business; I'm not an artist, and I don't need 127 layers and 10,000 colours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Software let's you I send a link to view an image, instead of attaching the image to an email. That domain is blocked by some large enterprises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's very easy to use, they have a variety of features such as creating gifs, recording video or adding annotations depending on your needs. Whatever it is you capture is high quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing specific. I do enjoy using Zight on different scenarios Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's a fairly straight forward tool to screenshot and record videos. Having the extension in Chrome makes it easily accessible. I like that it is easy to choose the type of recording and there's options to record with or without camera, sound, and to choose between full screen, window, or tab recordings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Recent updates made changes that I honestly do not understand. First, when you go to screenshot, the tool changes your screen to such a dark gray that it is now harder to see where you want to click to start selecting the image you want to capture. Then, when you complete the screenshot you are forced to listen to an OBNOXIOUSLY loud click that I've not yet been able to figure out how to turn off. The very first time it happened it literally scared me and made me jump. Finally, once you've completed the screenshot and endured the unnessesary sound effects, you're taken to a screen where you no longer have the option to download the image. You need to go to "save", then download. I frequently download screenshots for use in slide decks, etc. This adds an additional step for about half the time I use Zight--a fitting end to befuddling set of updates.

I can now share screen recordings with clients in a more professional manner, rather than relying on my laptop, which isn't as polished. I can record either my full screen or a selected area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I do not have anything to dislike about Zight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have been using Zight for >6 years now, and it's the best tool ever. It's so easy to take screenshots, screen recordings, even product gifs, and even share it with team mates for a quick collaboration. Not just that, it has helped me create multiple handover documents. Made my life so much easier.
I have recommended it to video editors for creating UI videos, and they have been raving about it ever since. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
