What is Tella?
Tella is a screen recorder that also edits and hosts the videos it captures. Recordings can include the screen, a webcam, a microphone and system audio, and the screen and camera are stored as separate tracks so the layout can be changed afterwards. Layouts, backgrounds, zoom effects and subtitles are applied automatically, and AI tools remove silences, filler words and mistakes or clean up the sound. Editing is done on a timeline or by deleting text from the transcript, which is available in 106 languages. A single clip can run for six hours and clips can be combined. Videos are shared by link or embed, with viewer analytics, comments and team playlists, or downloaded at up to 4K and 60 frames per second. Tella offers native Mac and Windows apps, a web recorder and a Chrome extension.
