# Capture websites and social posts

> Turn a website or public social post into media for a layout or overlay in the Tella editor.

Capture a website or social post directly in the editor instead of taking a screenshot, downloading it, and uploading it again. Tella adds the capture to the current video's Media Library, where you can use it in a layout or as an overlay.

## What you can capture

* A public web page, either **Above the fold** as an image or as a **Scrolling page** video
* An individual public post from X, Instagram, LinkedIn, or TikTok

For social media, paste the link to the post itself. Profile, search, and feed links are not supported.

## Add a capture to a layout

Use a media layout when the capture should replace your screen recording for part of the video.

1. Open your video and click **Layout**.
2. Select a time range or layout section, then choose a **Media** layout. You can also open **Customize layout** and change **Screen** or **Camera** to **Media**.
3. In the Media Library header, click **Screenshots** (the link icon).
4. Under **Add from socials or a website**, paste the link into **Paste a link**.
5. For a web page, turn on **Scrolling page** if you want an animated scroll instead of an image of the page above the fold. Social posts are captured as still cards.
6. Click **Add**.

Tella adds the capture to the **Video** tab of the Media Library and places it in the selected layout section.

## Add a capture as an overlay

Use an overlay when the capture should sit on top of your recording.

1. Move the playhead to where the overlay should start, or select a time range.
2. Click **Overlay**, find **Media**, then click **Browse all**.
3. In the Media Library header, click **Screenshots** (the link icon).
4. Under **Add from socials or a website**, paste the link into **Paste a link**.
5. Click **Add**.

Tella captures the post or the part of the web page above the fold, adds it to the **Video** tab, and places it on the canvas.

## Switch a website overlay to a scrolling page

After you add a website as an overlay, you can change how Tella captures it:

1. Select the website overlay on the canvas or timeline.
2. Under **Screenshot**, choose **Above the fold** or **Scrolling page**.
3. Wait for Tella to recapture the page and replace the overlay.

This control is available for website captures, not social-post cards.

## Reuse a capture

Captures stay in the current video's **Video** library. Open the item's menu and choose **Save to personal** or **Save to team** if you want to use it in other videos.

For more ways to position and edit the result, see [Add media (B-roll)](/docs/help/editing/use-media) or [Add media overlays](/docs/help/editing/media-overlays).
