Zight covers more capture formats than most tools here. One app records screen and camera video, takes annotated and scrolling screenshots and makes GIFs, which suits teams whose async updates are sometimes a 30 second clip and sometimes a marked-up image. The free Share plan is a taster, with 5 minute recordings, 1 GB of storage and 5 video requests a month. Create at $9.95 per user per month billed annually removes the length cap, adds 4K recording, transcription in over 50 languages, AI titles and captions, and 5 AI summaries and chapters a month. Collaborate at $12 per user billed annually is the plan most teams will want: unlimited AI smart actions, up to 50 Video Requests a month, custom branding and GDPR and SOC 2 Type II compliance. Video Requests stand out for async work, because a teammate or customer can record a reply without an account or install. The meeting recorder is labeled beta.
