# Tella vs CamStudio

> Tella does everything CamStudio does and a hundred things it doesn't: AI editing, cloud sharing, 4K exports, and a modern app that actually runs on Mac too.

CamStudio is a legacy open-source Windows screen recorder. It captures screen and system audio to MP4 and nothing else — no webcam, no microphone, no editor, no sharing.

Tella does what CamStudio does and everything it doesn't: screen and camera recording with system audio, a full timeline editor, AI auto-cut and auto-zoom, cloud hosting, 4K export, and analytics. On Mac and Windows, not just old Windows.
