Can I record with multiple cameras?
If you're looking to record with two webcams simultaneously, for example, one showing your face and another showing your hands or a whiteboard, here's what Tella currently supports.
Current camera support
Tella supports recording with one camera at a time, which can be combined with screen recording. You can:
Record camera only
Record screen only
Record screen + camera together (picture-in-picture)
Recording from two separate webcams simultaneously is not currently supported in Tella.
Workarounds for multiple camera angles
Use virtual camera software
Use a third-party app: Apps like OBS Studio can combine multiple camera feeds into a single virtual camera output. Then select that virtual camera in Tella.
Use screen recording: Open both camera feeds in separate windows on your desktop (using Photo Booth, QuickTime, or camera software), then use Tella's screen recording to capture your entire desktop showing both feeds.
iPhone as second camera: If you're on a Mac, you can use your iPhone as a webcam via Continuity Camera. While you can only use one camera at a time in Tella, you can switch between your built-in webcam and iPhone camera between clips.
Use Cases and Recommendations
Use Case | Recommended Approach |
|---|---|
Face + hands/demo | Use screen recording showing your demo, with camera overlay showing your face |
Switching between angles | Record separate clips and combine in editor |
Two angles simultaneously | Use OBS or similar to combine feeds, then record in Tella |
