Zight and Dailies both record calls, to make different things. Zight is a visual communication tool for teams, support and customer success above all: screen recordings, screenshots and GIFs shared as links, with AI write-ups. Its Meeting Recorder, which its own FAQ describes as a bot that joins the call, returns a summary, the decisions made and the action items. Dailies is a Chrome extension that records the calls you hold on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom and cuts up to eight captioned vertical shorts from their best passages. Zight explains and documents. Dailies makes something to post.
Checked against Zight’s own site on October 1, 2026.
Dailies
For people who want the best passages of their client calls as captioned vertical shorts, recorded from their own browser.

Zight is a visual communication tool for teams. Its screen recorder, for Mac, Windows, Chrome and iOS, captures the full screen, a region, the camera, or screen and camera together, with microphone and system audio; you can annotate while recording, make GIFs, and build step-by-step guides with screenshots pulled from the video. Recordings are shared as links, pasted into Slack, Teams or an email, and Zight AI adds a title, a summary, timestamped chapters and a transcript in more than 50 languages. Its Meeting Recorder covers Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack and any browser call: according to its own FAQ, it is a bot that joins a live call from your calendar, appears in the call and has to be admitted before it records. It then provides AI notes: a summary, the decisions made and who owes what. Editing covers trimming, cutting, splitting, merging and annotating; Zight says itself that it is not a timeline editor. Share pages have captions, and guides, summaries or transcripts export to Notion or Google Docs.
Zight’s Meeting Recorder is a bot, in the words of its own FAQ: it joins a live call on your calendar, appears in the call and has to be admitted before it records. Dailies sends no participant into the call. It is a Chrome extension that records the call tab, your microphone and your webcam from your own browser.
After a meeting, Zight gives you a summary, the decisions made, the action items and a transcript: a record for the people concerned. Dailies writes none of that. It picks up to eight passages of the call, cuts their silences, filler words and false starts, reframes each in 9:16 on whoever speaks and burns in animated captions, for people who were not in the call.
Zight lets you trim, cut, split, merge and annotate a recording, and says itself that it is not a timeline editor: for compositing or effects, it points to a production tool. Vertical output, reframing and burned-in captions are not stated on the pages we read; its captions appear on the share page. With Dailies there is nothing to edit: each short arrives already cut, framed and captioned.
Screen recordings, screenshots and GIFs shared as links, annotation while recording, step-by-step guides, meeting summaries with decisions and action items, transcripts in more than 50 languages, integrations with Slack, Jira, Zendesk and Intercom. Dailies does none of that: it records no screen walkthrough, writes no notes, and only makes shorts from the calls it recorded in Chrome, which you download in Full HD.
Yes, by its own account. The FAQ of its Meeting Recorder says it is a bot: it joins a live call on your calendar, appears in the call and has to be admitted before it records. It covers Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack and any browser call. Dailies records from a Chrome extension instead.
We found no such feature on the Zight pages we read. Its editing trims, cuts, splits, merges and annotates, and Zight says itself that it is not a timeline editor. Vertical output, reframing on a speaker and burned-in captions are not stated; we did not read its help centre. Dailies delivers up to eight captioned 9:16 shorts per call.
Yes. Its Meeting Recorder provides AI notes and action items: a summary, the decisions made and who owes what, with a transcript in more than 50 languages. Dailies writes no notes, summaries or action items: it makes shorts.
Not for screen recordings, screenshots or meeting notes. Dailies does one thing: captioned vertical shorts from the calls you hold in Chrome on Meet, Teams or Zoom. A team that documents its work with Zight and wants content to post from its client calls would use the two for different jobs.
Add Dailies to Chrome, record the call you were going to have anyway, and watch its shorts a few minutes after you hang up.
