# Share your iPad screen in a Tella video

> How to capture your iPad screen in a Tella recording, and why wireless AirPlay mirroring no longer works on recent macOS.

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
