# Share your iPad screen in a Tella video

Want to demo an iPad app or walk through something on your tablet? You can capture your iPad screen in a Tella recording.

<Warning>
  Wireless screen mirroring (AirPlay from your iPad to your Mac) doesn't work for recording on recent versions of macOS. The mirrored iPad content shows up as a black rectangle in any screen recording — Apple blocks it at the system level, in every recording app, even though it looks fine on your Mac's screen while you record. Use one of the methods below instead.
</Warning>

## Method 1: QuickTime (wired)

1. Connect your iPad to your Mac with a USB cable
2. Open **QuickTime Player** on your Mac
3. In the menu bar, click **File** → **New Movie Recording**
4. Click the arrow next to the record button and select your **iPad** as the source
5. Your iPad screen will appear in the QuickTime window
6. Record the QuickTime window using Tella (web app, Chrome extension, or Mac app)

## Method 2: Record on the iPad, then upload

1. On your iPad, add **Screen Recording** to Control Center (**Settings** → **Control Center**)
2. Open **Control Center** and tap the record button to capture your iPad screen
3. When you're done, stop the recording — it's saved to your Photos
4. Transfer the video to your computer (AirDrop is quickest) and upload it to Tella

## Editing tips

After recording, you can use Tella's editor to clean up the video:

* **Trim** the start and end to remove the setup
* **Crop** to focus on just the iPad screen
* **Zoom** into specific areas to highlight details
