With Tella for Chrome, you can record amazing videos from wherever you are inside Chrome. You can combine multiple clips together, customize styles and layouts, and everything you say is automatically transcribed. The result is better, more engaging videos for teaching people things, selling products, or just sharing your ideas.

Here’s how it works

​
Choose your recording resolution

The camera and screen previews each have a resolution pill in the corner. Click the pill to pick the resolution you want to capture at — up to 1080p for the camera and up to 4K for the screen.
Camera resolutions that your selected webcam can’t produce natively are greyed out in the picker. If you change cameras, the available options update to match what the new camera supports.

​
Switch between quick mode and multiple clips

The toolbar at the top of the popup has a recording mode button:
  • Bolt icon — quick mode. Stop recording and you’re taken straight to the view page with the share link already copied. Each recording becomes its own standalone video.
  • Stack icon — multiple clips. Record several clips back-to-back and combine them into a single video before sharing.
See record faster with quick mode and use clips for the full walkthroughs.

Advanced recording

This time, instead of just recording a presentation, you’ll record an introduction clip before the presentation. For that, switch to multiple clips and then record an intro clip of just your camera.

When you’re ready to edit your clips, click Done to see all the clips you recorded in the Tella editor. Edit.webp Once you’re done editing, click Finish to share your video.
