How to Screen Record on an HP Laptop

On your HP laptop, head to your browser and type tella.tv (or click the link).

Here, you can sign up for free access to Tella’s screen recording app. There’s no download; you just screen record from your browser.

As well as recording your screen, Tella enables video and audio recording alongside your screen captures.

How do I record my screen on my HP laptop?

Once you’ve signed up, take a look around the “Get Started” page or head straight to “New Video” in the top right-hand corner.

When you select “New Video”, you move to the recording screen.

Here, you have options to tailor the screen recording option on your HP laptop.

First up, hit “Share screen” to change the layout of what’s getting recorded.

Your screen will now look like this:

This is where you can choose exactly what you need to record.

If you’re likely to flick between apps, you might want to choose the entire screen. If you need only one window or tab recorded, choose the Window or Chrome tab.

Tip: if you need to use other apps and don’t want them to appear in the recording, choose the relevant Window or Chrome tab option so people don’t see you switching between apps.

When your screen appears, check your sound (if needed) and camera (if needed) are set to the right devices using the options in the “Mute” and “Stop camera” menus.

Now, hit the red record button to start recording on your HP laptop.

The best part about the Tella + HP laptop combo is they feel like they’re made for each other. It’s a modern laptop for creatives and people on the move. People who like high-quality products and produce high-quality work.

Unlike bog-standard screen recorders, Tella comes into its own when you start editing your videos.

When you finish recording, you immediately move to the edit screen in Tella. On the right-hand side, you’ll see all your editing options.

Without any video editing skills, you can make the following changes:

• Add a background (see the blue background on the below screenshot)

• Change orientation (landscape, portrait, square)

• Trim your video of unnecessary content

• Re-record parts of your video

• Mirror your camera

• Crop your screen

• Add a border

Notice my head is in the bottom right-hand corner. By choosing a different layout, I can move my head to anywhere else in the video with one click.

I also changed from a circle to a square because I thought it looked neater.

None of these editing options need any coding experience or third-party apps. Just a few clicks of your mouse, touchpad, or touchscreen. 

When you’re happy with the final cut, click “Finish” in the bottom right-hand corner and add your finishing touches:

• Name your video

• Add a custom button (if needed)

• Generate a sharing link

• Option to download 

Now you’re ready to send your video using the unique URL or download it ready to upload or send elsewhere.

You can even share your recording link in Slack—and people can watch your video without leaving Slack. Tella’s “for Slack” integration allows you to play Tella videos without leaving your favourite app.

Can you screen record gameplay on an HP laptop?

If you need to record gameplay on your HP laptop, the XBOX Game Bar will always work.

Try hitting Windows+G or hitting Windows then searching for Game Bar. If it doesn’t come up, you’ll need to install it.

To install the Game Bar, go to the Microsoft store and search XBOX Game Bar then click install.

When you open the Game Bar, your screen looks like this:

It’s a little overwhelming but I took this screenshot using the “Capture” option which is the highlighted grey camera in the top left-hand corner.

The option to the right of “Capture” is “Record” but you’ll notice this isn’t available to click.

When you try, an error message says “Gaming features aren’t available for the Windows desktop or File Explorer.”
