- No. Sceed is a Windows app that captures through Windows Graphics Capture, which is what keeps the recording sharp and the cursor separate.
- Does Tella keep recordings local?
- Tella recordings are uploaded and edited in the cloud. Sceed never uploads anything.
- Which is better for a social clip?
- Both handle vertical and square. Tella publishes straight to a share page; Sceed exports a file you post yourself.
