Looking for a Zight alternative?
Zight records video, screenshots and GIFs from desktop and mobile apps, and its free Share plan records up to 5 minutes in up to 720p. If you mostly record video in Chrome, VeoRec gives you more on the free plan: recordings up to 10 minutes in up to 1080p and an AI transcript on every video, and every new account starts with 7 days of Pro free. Zight has more apps and admin controls, and this page says where.
