Zight + Gitlab Integration

Show, don't tell
in Gitlab.

Q: What setup does Zight need to work with GitLab?

None on the GitLab side. Zight's apps for Mac, Windows, and Chrome capture the recording or screenshot, and the link drops into any issue or code review comment.

Q: How does Zight change code reviews in GitLab?

Reviews get visual. Explain a change with a short recording or mark up a screenshot of the UI it affects — feedback lands instantly instead of being reverse-engineered from prose.

Q: Does my whole team need Zight licenses just to watch recordings?

No — viewing needs no account at all. Links play in any browser, so only the people creating captures need Zight.

Q: What's the best way to file a visual bug report in GitLab?

Show it rather than describe it: record the broken behavior, annotate the frame where it goes wrong, and paste the link into the issue. Triage gets faster when nobody has to reproduce from a text description first.

Capture, annotate, and share visuals to improve code reviews, issue tracking, and communication.
