Yes. In the Tella web app and the Chrome extension, you can replace your camera background with a solid color or an image (choose a preset or upload your own), or blur it so the focus stays on you. Open the background options from the background button in the recorder’s camera preview. This works entirely in-browser and does not require a real green screen — though a plain, evenly-lit background behind you still gives the cleanest edges.

Other options

If you’re on the Mac app (which supports blur only) or want to hide your background another way, here are some alternatives:
  1. For Mac users, you can use macOS’ built-in video effects feature that lets you overlay a virtual background behind your camera. You can find more information about how to do that on Apple’s support site here.
  2. Use a third-party virtual camera app.
  3. Use a physical backdrop: A simple solid-colored curtain or portable backdrop behind you creates a clean, professional look without any software.
  4. Use Tella’s layouts strategically: Choose layouts where your camera is smaller or positioned in a corner, making your background less prominent.
