Prerequisite: To add a member to a video, you need to ensure the user you want to add is in the same Tella workspace as you.You can follow this guide to learn how to add a team member to your Tella workspace.
Some instances where you might want to invite a team member to one of your Tella videos include:
  • Allowing them to edit your video
  • Allowing them to view your video (useful if viewer downloads are disabled)
When you add a team member, you can assign them one of two roles:
  • Editor — the member can edit the video and change collaborator roles on the video.
  • Viewer — the member can watch the video but cannot make changes.

​
Add a team member to a single video

  1. Open the video you want to add your teammate to
  2. Click on the ”+” icon on the top right next to the preview button
  3. Enter the email address of the teammate you want to add
  4. Select the role you want to assign (Can edit or Can view)
  5. Click “Done”

​
Add a team member to multiple videos at once

You can add a team member as an editor or viewer to several videos in one step.
  1. Go to your video library
  2. Select the videos you want to add the team member to
  3. Click the Add user button in the toolbar that appears
  4. Search for and select the workspace member you want to add
  5. Choose the role — Can edit or Can view
  6. Click Add to confirm
The team member is added to all selected videos with the role you chose.

​
Change a team member’s role

Both the video creator and any editor on the video can change an existing collaborator’s role between Can edit and Can view.
  1. Open the video
  2. Click the collaborator list (next to the ”+” icon in the top right)
  3. Find the team member whose role you want to change
  4. Select the new role — Can edit or Can view
You cannot change your own role or change the role of the video creator.

Upgrading a viewer to editor

If a workspace member has a Viewer license (a free seat), they can only view videos. To give a Viewer editing access, their workspace license must first be upgraded to Member (a paid seat). Here’s how it works:
  • Workspace owners can upgrade the license directly from the share modal. When you select Can edit for a Viewer, Tella shows an “Upgrade to paid seat?” confirmation. Confirming upgrades their workspace license to Member and grants them editor access on the video. This adds a billable seat to your subscription.
  • Non-owners see a tooltip on the Viewer’s role explaining that you need to contact the workspace owner to upgrade the user’s license.
