Share an image or video to a Slack channel or direct message from TechSmith Snagit.
In this tutorial:
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. With Snagit 2023, it takes one click to get a shareable link for that media. Paste the link into Slack where your team can preview the media right in the channel or direct message … and 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.
For this option, you must have Snagit version 2023 or later to share to Slack.
People on your team can preview your image, animated GIF, or video directly in Slack.
Note: If you do not see a preview of the content in the Slack message, the Snagit app may not be installed and approved in your Slack workspace. To learn how, see Install the Snagit App in Your Workspace.
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.
Note: If you are not currently logged in to your TechSmith account, you will be prompted to sign in. This allows you to share to the same Slack workspaces from different instances of Snagit.
Note: If you are not currently signed in to a workspace on either Windows or Mac, see Add a Workspace. To select other workspaces in Snagit for Mac, see Add Additional Slack Workspaces (Mac).
To add and share to additional Slack workspaces from Snagit for Mac, add new instances of the Slack share destination.
Slack apps connect the software you use to Slack. The Snagit app allows you to preview and play Snagit content directly in the Slack message.

More to find it.
