<Warning>This feature is available for **Tella Premium** users only.</Warning>

You can connect a custom domain to your Tella workspace so your shared videos appear on your own branded URL, like `videos.yourdomain.com`.

<Note>Only workspace owners can configure a custom domain. Other workspace members see the page in read-only mode and can see which owner to contact.</Note>

### 1. Open domain settings

1. Log in to your Tella account.

2. Click your **workspace name** in the top-left corner.

3. Go to **Settings** → **Domain**.

### 2. Choose your domain type

You'll be asked to choose between two options:

* **Subdomain** (Recommended)\
  Use this if you already have a website. Example: `videos.yourdomain.com`

* **Root domain**\
  Use if you want a completely separate domain like `yourcustomdomain.com`.

<Tip>**Most users choose a subdomain** because it's easier to set up alongside your main site.</Tip>

### 3. Enter your domain

Type in the subdomain or domain you'd like to use, such as `videos.yourdomain.com`.

Then click **Submit**.

### 4. Set up DNS

To connect your domain, add a DNS record with your domain provider (e.g. GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Squarespace, etc.). After you click **Submit**, Tella shows the exact record to add. Copy the values from there. Which record you need depends on the domain type you chose:

**Subdomain** (for example `videos.yourdomain.com`):

| Field      | Value                                       |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| **Type**   | `CNAME`                                     |
| **Name**   | `videos` *(the subdomain part you entered)* |
| **Target** | `cname.tella.tv`                            |

**Root domain** (for example `yourcustomdomain.com`):

| Field     | Value         |
| --------- | ------------- |
| **Type**  | `A`           |
| **Name**  | `@`           |
| **Value** | `76.76.21.21` |

<Note>
  **Cloudflare users:** set the record's proxy status to **DNS only** (proxy disabled).
</Note>

<Warning>
  If the domain is already used by another site, Tella may ask for an additional verification record (usually a `TXT` record) to prove you own it. Add it to the domain you want to use for Tella. Adding it to your main website's domain would remove that domain from the other site.
</Warning>

### 5. Verify your domain

Once you've added the DNS record:

1. Go back to Tella.

2. Click **Refresh**.

3. You should see a **"Verified"** message once the DNS is active.

### 6. Share videos from your domain

Now when you share a video from your Tella workspace, it will be hosted on your custom domain:

This keeps your links branded and consistent with your website or company identity.
