Video Annotations by Zight — Draw on videos to get your point across

With video annotations you can now draw and comment directly on your CloudApp videos to add deeper context to your bug reports, customer outreach, or internal comms for when you want to skip the meeting and send a video instead.

Great idea and product! The fading annotation is a clever solution to the annotation becoming out-of-date as the screen contents change. Nice one!

@joshuapinter I've been beta testing it for a few months, its pretty cool how seamless it is. Excited to have it live!

Product looks good, I just signed up. I could see my whole company using this. Couple Questions: 1. What are some use case examples for different orgs? 2. Something we would want to get one account or multiple accounts? 3. Is there in line commenting? I didn't see it as possible.

@johnrampton Awesome! Thanks for the comment John 1. CloudApp spreads across the entire organization video is at the core of the functionality with annotations just adding to its awesomeness. Here are a couple of thoughts on what we have seen from our customers. Customer Support - closing tickets faster and increasing customer satisfaction rates with videos Product - faster to market with video collaboration vs. long meetings and emails Sales - Increase engagement on outreach and connection with customers with video messages Eng - better documentation and bug reports 2. 91% of the Fortune 1000 is using CloudApp. B2B companies will generally sign up for a Team or Enterprise account for the added control, security, and connection it provides 3. Stay tuned... we have been testing this in beta and it should be around really soon. You can check out our product roadmap on Trello https://trello.com/b/FLKc8AW3/cl... Thanks for joining the community!
