What is Tella?
Tella is a video tool from Tella HQ Inc. in San Francisco (US), with a group company in the Netherlands (Tella B.V.). You record your screen and camera in the browser or with the app for Mac or Windows, and cut, zoom and add subtitles in the same editor. You share videos with a link or export them up to 4K, also to YouTube.
You enter into the data processing agreement (Data Processing Agreement) at registration as a business user, with standard contractual clauses under Dutch law. Tella hosts the service, the database and the videos on AWS in the US; most other subprocessors are there too. Tella says it has SOC 2 Type II on every plan.
Good: recording and editing in one tool, with clean layouts and zooms for product demos.
Less good: no free plan and prices only in dollars. There is no option for storage in the EU.

More about data in the EU →Data processing agreement: Yes
If you record customer data and put the video in the tool's cloud, the vendor processes it for you and you need a data processing agreement. If everything stays local on your computer, that matters less.
