What is a documentation video?

A documentation video is a recording where you walk through a tutorial, training, onboarding, or policy to disseminate that knowledge. You can create a documentation video easily using Tella’s screen recorder. If you have a presentation or want to share something on your screen, you can use Tella to create a video of your screen and webcam. Tella also lets you edit it afterward, so your documentation videos are clear and concise.

Documentation videos are critical for companies to onboard employees and make sure they have access to resources to answer their questions. For information that all teams or members should know, a documentation video that’s easily accessible is essential.
