Connect and Collaborate with Snagit + Slack

Snagit + Screencast + Slack = Fewer, Better Meetings

Move work forward by getting feedback and starting conversations around the images, GIFs, or videos you create in TechSmith Snagit.

Use Snagit to capture and create quick videos, marked-up screenshots, and GIFs. Then get a shareable link for that media with just one click. Paste the link into Slack where your team can preview the media right in the channel or direct message. Then click through to Screencast to connect and collaborate with your ideas by adding comments and simple markup right on top of your media. 

No need for a meeting, screen share, or mile-long email or chat thread! Simply Capture. Create. Connect.

Only in Snagit 2023 or later

For this option, you must have Snagit version 2023 or later to share to Slack.

Upgrade Snagit

Share a Link in Slack (Recommended)

1. In Snagit Editor, click to select an image or video to share in the recent captures tray or Library.
2. Click Share Link.
   
3. Snagit uploads the file to Screencast and copies a link to your clipboard.
4. Paste the link into a Slack channel or DM.

People on your team can preview your image, animated GIF, or video directly in Slack.

Your team can comment in the Slack thread or click the content link to provide more detailed feedback, such as timestamped comments or simple markup.

Screencast sends an email notification when someone adds a comment or reply so you can easily jump back in and keep your project moving forward.

Send to Slack from the Share Menu (Alternative Method)

You can also share to Slack from the Share dropdown menu.
