Lightshot is a third-party application available for both Windows and Mac. Once downloaded, it automatically starts with your computer. It’s easily recognizable by its icon, a purple feather, which allows you to capture screenshots. Lightshot offers a variety of options, including simple annotations, the ability to draw boxes and highlights, and even the feature to upload your screenshots to the cloud and share them via a link. However, some users may find the cloud-sharing feature a bit slow, as it requires the recipient to open the link in a web browser. Despite this, when it comes to taking and editing screenshots, Lightshot stands out as a versatile and user-friendly tool. It’s a simple yet indispensable tool for any virtual assistant, making it one of the most valuable assets in their toolkit.
