Adding new members to your workspace is simple, but before you get started, there are a few important details to keep in mind.

### Billing notice

Sending an invite doesn't add a charge. A pending invite costs nothing, and you can revoke it before it's accepted.

When someone accepts an invite, billing depends on their role:

* **Owner** and **Member** roles add a billable seat.
* **Viewer** roles are free and don't count toward your seat total.

On an active paid subscription, Tella charges the prorated price of the new billable seat for the time left in your current billing period. Your next renewal includes the seat at its full plan price.

During a free trial without a card on file, accepting an Owner or Member invite doesn't charge you immediately. The seat is included if you start a paid subscription.

### Steps to add a team member

1. **Log in** to your Tella account.

2. Click on your **workspace name** in the top navigation bar.

3. Select **Add & manage members** from the dropdown menu (this item only appears if you're a workspace Owner).

4. You'll now see:
   * Current members
   * Any pending invitations

### Inviting a new team member

1. Click **Invite**.

2. Enter the **email address** of the person you want to invite.
   * To invite **multiple people**, separate the emails with commas.
     * Example: `johnny@tella.com, michiel@tella.com`

3. Choose the **role** for each invitee:
   * **Member**: Can create, edit, and share videos. This is a paid seat.
   * **Owner**: Can manage billing and users. This is a paid seat.
   * **Viewer**: Can watch videos but can't create or edit them. This is a free seat.

4. Click **Invite**.

The email(s) will appear under the **Invites** section with a status of **Pending**. You can also **revoke** any invite at any time.

### Review requests to join

When someone requests to join your workspace, workspace owners receive an email notification. Click **Review request** in the email to switch to the requested workspace and open the **Requests** tab.

<Note>
  Accepting a request adds the person as a Member and uses a billable seat. On an active paid subscription, Tella charges the prorated seat price for the rest of your current billing period.
</Note>

You can also review requests in Tella:

1. Click your **workspace name** in the top navigation bar.
2. Select **Add & manage members**.
3. Open the **Requests** tab.
4. Click **Accept** to add the person or **Dismiss** to decline the request.

### What the invitee will see

The invited user will receive an email that looks like this:

> "You've been invited to join \[Your Name]'s workspace on Tella."

Once they click **Open Tella** and set up their account, they'll be added to your workspace. If they accept as an Owner or Member on an active paid subscription, Tella adds the prorated seat charge automatically.
