The Problem With Snagit in Healthcare
Snagit is a powerful screenshot and recording tool, but it was never designed for environments where HIPAA compliance is non-negotiable.
Snagit offers no BAA or HIPAA coverage
TechSmith does not sign a Business Associate Agreement for Snagit, which means any protected health information captured in screenshots or recordings is stored and shared outside a compliant framework. Healthcare teams using Snagit for anything involving PHI — EHR walkthroughs, system configurations with patient data visible, or internal communications — are taking on unmitigated compliance risk.
Sharing screenshots and recordings lacks security controls
Snagit's sharing options route through TechSmith's consumer cloud or third-party integrations that don't offer encryption at rest, access expiration, or audit-ready link controls. When healthcare staff need to quickly share a screen capture with a colleague or vendor, there's no compliant way to do it without bolting on additional tools or reverting to cumbersome workarounds.
No centralized, compliant storage for visual documentation
Screenshots and recordings created in Snagit are saved locally or uploaded to services without HIPAA-grade infrastructure. This makes it nearly impossible for IT and compliance teams to enforce retention policies, manage access permissions, or maintain an auditable record of visual assets that may contain sensitive information.

HIPAA-Ready Infrastructure
Zight signs a Business Associate Agreement with every healthcare customer, establishing the legal foundation required for handling protected health information. All screenshots, screen recordings, and async videos are stored on AWS S3 with AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit. Granular access controls let administrators manage who can view, share, and download content, while link expiration and password protection add additional layers of security. Every asset is centrally stored in a compliant cloud environment purpose-built for teams operating under HIPAA requirements.

Built for Healthcare Workflows
Zight replaces the back-and-forth of live meetings, long email threads, and insecure file attachments with instant, shareable screenshots and screen recordings that healthcare staff can create in seconds. IT teams can capture and annotate EHR issues or system errors and share a secure link instead of scheduling a call. Training coordinators can record step-by-step software walkthroughs once and distribute them across departments on demand. Every capture is automatically uploaded to Zight’s compliant cloud, so there’s no extra step to move files into a secure environment — the workflow is secure by default.
See Use CasesEverything Healthcare Teams Need
One secure platform for async video, screen recording, and visual communication.
Screen Recording
Capture full-screen or partial-screen recordings of EHR systems, internal portals, and admin dashboards. Recordings are instantly uploaded to Zight's HIPAA-compliant cloud — no local file management required.
Async Video Messaging
Record webcam-and-screen videos to explain complex IT issues, walk through compliance updates, or deliver training asynchronously. Staff watch on their own time without needing to coordinate schedules.
Secure Sharing
Generate password-protected, expiring links for every screenshot and recording. Control exactly who can access content and revoke links at any time to maintain compliance.
Annotations
Add arrows, text callouts, highlights, and blur effects directly on screenshots to draw attention to key details or redact sensitive information before sharing with colleagues.
Compliant Cloud Storage
Every file is stored on AWS S3 with AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS encryption in transit. Zight's cloud replaces Snagit's consumer storage with infrastructure built for HIPAA-regulated teams.
Team Controls
Administrators can manage user roles, enforce sharing permissions, and maintain visibility into all content created across the organization. Centralized controls make audits and policy enforcement straightforward.

IT Support & Troubleshooting
Healthcare IT teams use Zight to capture and annotate screenshots of system errors, EHR glitches, and configuration issues — then share a secure link with vendors or internal engineers instead of writing lengthy ticket descriptions. Screen recordings with voiceover narration eliminate the ambiguity of text-only bug reports. Every capture lives in compliant cloud storage, so support documentation never ends up in an unsecured local folder or consumer sharing service.
Learn MoreStaff Training & Onboarding
Replace repetitive live training sessions with reusable screen recordings that walk new hires through EHR navigation, billing software, scheduling systems, and internal compliance procedures. Annotated screenshots serve as quick-reference guides staff can revisit anytime. Training teams build a secure, centralized library of onboarding assets that scales across departments and locations without additional compliance risk.
Learn MoreAsync Internal Communication
Healthcare administrators and department leads use Zight to send quick video updates, policy change walkthroughs, and process explanations without pulling staff into meetings. A two-minute screen recording replaces a 500-word email and is far easier for recipients to follow. Secure sharing links ensure that internal communications containing system screenshots or workflow details stay within a compliant environment.
