Add your custom domain

⚠️ This feature is available for Tella Premium users only.

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

1. Open domain settings

  1. Log into your Tella account.

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

  3. Go to SettingsDomain.

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.

💡 Most users choose a subdomain because it's easier to set up alongside your main site.

3. Enter your domain

Type in the subdomain or domain you'd like to use, such as:

Then click Submit.

4. Set up DNS

To connect your domain, you’ll need to add a CNAME record with your domain provider (e.g. GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Squarespace, etc).

DNS Configuration:

Type

CNAME

Name

Proxy

Common registar DNS setup guides:

  • Cloudflare

  • Squarespace

  • GoDaddy

  • Namecheap

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.
