FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

There's no upload option when I open the Zight menu — where is it?

Check the more section. The upload control isn't always in the visible row, and that's exactly where the guide says to look when it's missing.

Does my recipient need a Zight account to open the file?

No. A Zight share link opens in any browser without an account, so dropping it into Canvas or an email is all your recipient needs.

What about the reverse — collecting a big file from someone else?

Send them a Zight request link. It collects files, recordings, and screenshots from anyone, with no account and nothing to install on their end.
