Learn how to embed CloudApp as an iframe and better collaborate and communicate with your team.
How do you usually share ideas or give feedback to someone? Email them? Message them in Slack? Send screenshots that need to be changed or improved?
Whether you work in marketing, sales, design, development, customer service, or anywhere else where it’s required to communicate with a peer, a client or a customer, we all struggle to communicate our feedback or solve an issue in a manner that’s easily understandable.
Nobody likes reading long user manuals or emails. As much as it is time-consuming for both the sender and the receiver, text-based communication fails to deliver the intent and fully express the context behind a particular idea, concept, or problem.
Studies have shown that we can get the sense of a visual scene in less than 1/10 of a second! On top of that, visuals are processed 60,000 times faster in the brain than text. It’s clear- images and videos convey a richer communication experience than text-heavy content alone.
This is why a lot of screen recorders and screen capture tools exist on the market today- to help you share your thoughts, ideas, feedback, suggestions, or information visually.
In this post, we are going to talk about a visual communication tool called CloudApp and why it is one of the best tools out there to accelerate your team communication and workflow.

What is CloudApp?
CloudApp is a visual communication tool that combines video walkthroughs, webcam recording, GIF creation and screen capture in an easy-to-use enterprise-grade app. CloudApp knows that creative collaboration can be tough, especially if you are working remotely.
Whether you want to explain a process step-by-step, annotate changes to be made to your website, or give visual feedback to your designer, CloudApp helps you do it all in a jiffy. It helps you boost the process of visual communication so that the message doesn’t get lost in translation.
CloudApp helps you capture your screen and turn it into a webcam recording, GIF, or annotated screenshot and convert it into a shareable link. You can then easily share this link with anyone and get your message across.
CloudApp’s easy to use and robust interface makes the process of sharing visual information a walk in the park. This is why CloudApp has quickly surpassed 2 million users worldwide and shows no signs of stopping!
Even though Cloud app makes the process of communication and collaboration a breeze, there’s a still a grass-roots level problem with communication in the digital age that stops tools like CloudApp to work effectively- there are just too many apps to communicate on.
You create your files in a document editor, share them via email, get notified about the email via a messaging app, and store it in the cloud. Even while providing feedback or suggestions via CloudApp, you share the content link on Email, Slack, Trello, Google Docs, Dropbox, or any other of the thousands of collaboration tools out there.
When you have your important content scattered around different devices and tools, your productivity always takes the backseat.
