## How do I add a screenshot of a website to my video?

In Tella, paste the page link into the [Tella Agent](https://www.tella.com/agent) chat and say when and where it should appear. Tella captures the public page above the fold as an image, or as a scrolling-page video if you ask, and places it as an overlay or in a Media layout. To do it yourself, click Add from a link (the link icon) in the [Media Library](https://www.tella.com/help/editing/use-media) and paste the link.

## Prompt to start from

```text
Capture https://larkspurcoffee.example.com as a screenshot. Show it as an overlay on the right at 45% of the canvas width from when I say "our new site" until I start talking about pricing. Fade it in and out.
```

### Agency case study

```text
Capture the Hollowbrook Bakery home page at https://hollowbrook.example.com as a scrolling page. Use a Media layout with it for the 20 seconds after I say "here's what we built", then go back to my screen recording.
```

### Founder update

```text
Capture our changelog at https://quillmere.example.com/changelog above the fold. Show it centered at 60% of the canvas width while I list this month's updates, and fade it in and out.
```

## How to do it in Tella

4. Or click Overlay, then Media, Browse all, and Add from a link.

## Questions people ask

### Can I switch a website screenshot to a scrolling page after adding it?

Yes, for a website overlay in Tella. Select it on the canvas or timeline and, under Screenshot, choose Scrolling page or Above the fold. Tella captures the page again and replaces the overlay.

### Can I show only part of the captured page?

Yes. In Tella, right-click the overlay and choose Crop, then drag the crop frame around the part you want to keep. The crop applies in the editor and in exports.

### Can Claude or ChatGPT add a website screenshot to my Tella video?

Yes. An app connected to Tella's [MCP server](https://www.tella.com/mcp) calls import_from_url with the page link, with scroll turned on for a scrolling video. It then places the capture with add_overlay or add_layout. Importing on its own does not edit the video.
