Virtual Assistant: What is Lightshot?
This is one of the first tools in its series, and many consider it a must-have for becoming a legendary virtual assistant. One of the simplest tools in this category is called ‘Lightshot.’ Essentially, it offers an easy way for any virtual assistant to take screenshots professionally on their computer.
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.

It’s a simple yet indispensable tool for any virtual assistant, making it one of the most valuable assets in their toolkit.
