When you’re managing sprints, fixing bugs, or reviewing tickets in Jira, clarity is critical. Integrating Zight into Jira gives engineering and product teams a faster, smarter way to communicate—through short videos, annotated screenshots, GIFs, and AI-powered summaries.
In this guide, you’ll learn how Zight enhances the Jira experience, making it easier to document bugs, explain features, and align across teams—without wasting time or losing context.

Annotate screenshots to pinpoint errors or UI problems

Use AI Smart Actions to auto-summarize and extract action items
Embedding Zight visuals directly into Jira tickets gives devs and stakeholders instant clarity—without needing extra meetings or follow-ups.

3. Sprint Planning Clarity
Use Zight to create pre-sprint walkthroughs or visual overviews of tickets to help teams align quickly.
