Frequently asked questions
Zight scores C on Supergood's API Report Card. Zight ships no general-purpose REST API. The developer surface is a JavaScript Record SDK for embedding its screen recorder plus webhooks for created, viewed, shared, and deleted events, authenticated with dashboard API keys. SDK access is Enterprise-tier; deeper integrations go through partnership.
Zight has an official API, but teams routinely hit its limits: gated access, partial coverage, or paid tiers. Most end up supplementing it with exports or an unofficial API layer like Supergood. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.
Zight (rebranded from CloudApp in October 2022) is an async visual communication platform that bundles screen recording, annotated screenshot capture, GIF creation, and webcam recording into a single desktop and browser app with cloud hosting and shareable short-link URLs.
Vertical: misc / horizontal productivity & collaboration tooling. Zight is not aligned to any of Supergood's named verticals (Legal, Healthcare, Real Estate, Compliance, Financial Services, etc.). Customer support: record short reproduction videos / annotated screenshots inside Zendesk, Freshdesk, Intercom, or Jira to resolve tickets faster (Zight markets a 7-minute average ticket-resolution improvement at Social Tables).
Mid-tier within the async-video / screen-recording category.
Zight's data surface is narrow and non-transactional.
Founded as CloudApp in 2011; rebranded to Zight in October 2022. Modern web/desktop/mobile stack: native macOS and Windows apps, iOS app, Chrome extension, and an in-browser web recorder (Chromium + Firefox 100+).
No general-purpose REST API, only the Record SDK and webhooks; programmatic catalog/management requires partnership conversation. API access is gated to Enterprise tier (and Enterprise pricing is custom-quoted, often with a ~$3K annual minimum). Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include Loom (Atlassian), Vidyard, Snagit / Camtasia (TechSmith), Scribe, Guidde, Tella. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Not that we could find. As of August 2026 there is no official Zight MCP server in any public registry, and no maintained community server we're aware of. We re-verify this periodically — report an inaccuracy below if we missed one.
Not natively. Zight doesn't publish an MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex have nothing to connect to out of the box. If that changes, this page will reflect it.
