Asynchronous Communication: the task, Zight capturing it, and the result

Trusted by 5m+ people who would rather show than tell

How do teams communicate asynchronously with Zight?

Record the update, handoff, or explanation and share a link people watch on their own time. AI adds a summary, chapters, and a transcript, so skimmers and watchers both get it — and the answer stays reusable long after the thread scrolls away.

Work Async

One recording
beats a meeting.

Record your screen and voice explaining the thing, then share a link. No calendars, no time zones. Teammates watch and reply when they're ready, with full context intact.

The problem

Work stalls when every explanation needs both people free at the same time.

Four ways teams run this with Zight.

Async standups and updates

Record a concise project update, handoff, or recap for people to watch on their own time.

Live time is reserved for decisions, not reporting.

Recordings · share links

Keep work moving across time zones

Share visual updates, handoffs, and decisions asynchronously.

Collaborators consume context on their own schedules.

Recordings · share links

Reduce interruptions, keep collaboration

Capture rich context asynchronously instead of repeatedly breaking someone’s focus.

Focus is protected; collaboration isn’t.

Recordings · screenshots · share links

Turn one explanation into reusable knowledge

Capture a walkthrough once and share it repeatedly.

Fewer repeated questions to your experts.

Recordings · share links · collections

The motion behind these: Capture → Share → Reuse

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

It carries the screen, the voice, and the emphasis — and AI adds chapters and a summary, so skimmers and watchers both get it. Writing the same context takes longer and lands with less.
