New Feature: Create meaningful interactions with a Call-to-Action Button

Introducing Zight (formerly CloudApp)’s Newest Feature

Since the creation of Zight (formerly CloudApp), we have made great strides to empower our users to communicate efficiently and effectively without the constraint of physical proximity. We’ve been working hard to update and maintain our screenshot, annotation, screen recorder, and gif-making features in order to best serve. Just a month ago, we released our iOS app, allowing you to take Zight (formerly CloudApp) to the streets.

Today, we are thrilled to prove ourselves as leaders in visual communication as we announce our newest Zight (formerly CloudApp) feature: the Call-to-Action Button. (Think: the B2B version of Instagram’s “Swipe Up.”)
