What to watch

  • Chrome extension records at most 720p
  • Trim and cut only; not a timeline editor

Best for: You answer support questions with quick videos and annotated screenshots and want both in one library.

Our verdict

Zight combines a screen recorder, a screenshot tool and a GIF maker. You record a region, a window or the full screen with your camera, and the link is on your clipboard when you stop. Viewers open it in a browser without an account. System audio works on both Mac and Windows, and paid plans record up to 4K with no length limit.

The free Share plan is enough to try it: recordings stop at 5 minutes and are 720p. Create removes the length limit for $119.40 a year. Editing covers trim, cut, split, merge and annotations; it is not a timeline editor.

If you mostly send video updates and want viewer insights, compare it with Loom. If you want a more capable editor or open source, look at Cap. For screenshots alone, Snagit or ShareX may be enough.
