Elgato are so good at making things you didn't know you even needed but you can't live without them once you have them! 😂

[@karvon]

😅 so true!

[@JerridFoiles]

I LOL'd when you suggested using Prompter to zone out of boring meetings. You guys truly hit it out of the park with this one. So many applications outside of content creation, this product will sell in a big way. ICYMI: Harris Heller suggested a XL/Pro model, and I think it's a great idea.

[@Future.haafith]

Are you guys planning to planning to add a voice recognition feature like PromptSmart pro app?

[@Fernandor_]

I like the prompter a lot. I will try to pick it up in the next few months

[@TheSixthSLoT]

Great release. I can't wait.

[@Animeguy300]

Amazing tips thanks

[@JohnWi11is]

I can't wait to get this... It's a GAME CHANGER!!

[@mintmindy]

I am sold! When will this come to Singapore??😍

[@california_ray]

Duude. You single-handedly sold me on getting one 😂

[@ayedunjossyoladipupo1235]

Thanks for the video. Can I extend my PC screen to the prompter screen instead of always having to drag my PC window to the prompter screen?

[@jonjansen9417]

Do you have a guide on how to hook this into your Streamdeck correctly (preferably the older models) to play/pause, etc...?

[@cjmaverick_]

Who else woke up that morning not expecting to spend $300 😂

[@jawiginla]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Headhunter_212]

I've had good results with Caddy Buddy prompter with a DSLR and the PromptSmart app. This looks like a great unified solution. One feature in PromptSmart I really like is the voice-activated scrolling speed..instead of manual advance or speeding/slowing by hand. Do you have a similar (voice-activated) feature?

[@TeamAstroworkz]

voice activated scroll totally a must !

[@jacquelynnacopoulos1278]

Hello, Congratulations 👍👏👏👏 I am impressed.

[@beardsandbanjos]

Will the Prompter be available on Amazon?

[@carlosluna309]

I'd love to see if used with the iphone back camera. Be able to use the better camera and still see yourself and your script.

[@DrFatemahAlzubairi]

When will Elgato prompter be available again? I’ve searched for it, and it seems out of stock 😢

[@markusmars.]

Do you have a recommendation for more USB-C Connections? Monitor, Mic, Camera, Prompter etc. are a few to many for a setup i want. I choose to put my streamdeck on the monitor, so i have one more. Would love to hear about your setup.

[@alphadanger2223]

I use a usb hub to get more usb connections. maybe a powered USB hub if you have power hungry USB devices.

[@saernst]

How do I buy it in Australia?

[@gunvald89]

An real PowerPoint integration would defently make this an obvious business tool. What about PP presenter mode? I would say that’s not enough. The text is to small and I can’t have the presenter mode on two screen at the same time. Make camera hub extract the text current slide from PowerPoint and you have an 10/10 solution

[@GuidoJansen-yk7ne]

0:06 - Use Prompter as a teleprompter 1:12 - Use Prompter to look at livechat during livestream 1:35 - Any app can be dragged onto Prompters display 2:25 - Watch a game during a video call 2:50 - Karaoke

[@kd9660]

Just sharing a heads-up about the Parrot Pro Teleprompter Kickstarter. Got redirected here after finding out that Josh Apter, the founder, missed the mark on the promised August 2023 delivery. Now, it's looking more like February to March 2024. Not cool, especially with reports of flimsy glass. Anyway, stumbled upon this alternative - way more superior with a built-in monitor and extra utilities. Estimated arrival? Nov 25th, 2024. Exciting stuff! Quick question to the team: Any plans for a holiday sale or maybe a sweet bundle deal with a Stream Deck?

[@Steggy]

I can’t speak for our sales team who decides that stuff but we’re taking in so many back orders right now I would say this is highly unlikely just based on availability.

[@BibleBreakout]

I would like one that can use my phone as a camera while also using that same phone as a source for the monitor that displays the script

[@YolandaCalvo]

Can se see any chat on the screen, I use Ecamm Live to stream in KZbin and Facebook, I wonder if I can see the chat on prompter instead of my laptop screen. Thanks

[@elgato]

Yes, with display mode you can see any chat on Prompter by dragging the chat window onto the Prompter screen.

[@NeuFinance]

I shoot my DSLR vertically. Can Prompter adapt to Vertical shooting mode? So the scrip reads even though I have it tilted 90 Degrees?

[@pierregarcia2921]

Elgato please we need to videos to set up Prompter with Stream deck AND STREAM DECK PEDAL !!!??? Urgently

[@Mersuharrastaja]

Does that prompter work standallone, with no computer connected? I record my video's place where is no computer available.

[@philipp-boettcher-hps]

1:49 Actually the ElGato Prompter will not work well with MS Teams. The problem is the minimum window size of 800 x 670 of MS Teams (MacOS) that does not fit the screen size of the ElGato Prompter native resolution of 1024 x 600. If Microsoft enabled a minimum size of 800 x 600, MS Teams would also be compatible with the ElGato Prompter.

[@Tim-Miller-]

I'm looking for instructions on operating prompter for an assistant- I'm directing and I want someone to control speed...in real-time working symbiotically with the talent, like I currently do with prompterpeople/magicue software.

[@PETERFRITZPHOTO]

Hi guys. I ordered one off Amazon a couple of weeks ago, but there’s no shipping or delivery date. When will there be stock again…? I need one right now! 👍

[@elgato]

Prompter is currently not available on Amazon and is only available for purchase through our webstore at this time. Prompter is currently on backorder, please visit our webstore at elgato.com to see the expected shipment date for your region.

[@PETERFRITZPHOTO]

@@elgato Thanks for the response. I've cancelled my Amazon order. Your website says shipping late March 2024. Four months away... Ugh.

[@barryratner255]

How do you make your script transparent so you can see your camera feed as outlined from 1:00 to 1:05 in this video? I get the adjust the opacity component but where is camera feed being fed through? Are they using OBS? How was it accomplished in this video. I contacted Elgato several times and I was told the marketing department does not always inform tech support. Any help of explaining multiple ways to accomplish this is appreciated. (I am a Mac user)

[@Tastictalkstech]

I was wondering the same thing too! I can't find it anywhere, and u can't separate the windows in the camera hub app to execute that either.

[@joshuabroo]

I like the transparent script feature that allow us to see ourselves in the viewfinder with the script overlayed on top of the viewfinder... I saw it in the video, but I don't know how to enable. Any help?

[@elgato]

You can adjust the opacity of your text display with Prompter under the Appearance settings in Camera Hub.

[@itsr7studio]

This is a great product! After using it for 30 minutes shortly after it was delivered today, I haven’t been able to access Camera Hub or the DisplayLink Manager on my Mac OS running on Sonoma 14.2.1. For some reason, I thought that by quitting the DisplayLink Manager, it would turn off the Prompter. It did! And now I can’t access it or Camera Hub. Any ideas on what I need to do to resolve this?

[@elgato]

We're sorry you're experiencing this. If you haven't already, please file a ticket at e.lga.to/help so our support team can look into this.

[@itsr7studio]

@@elgato thanks! Ticket submitted. Hopeful this will get resolved because I don’t want to return it - it’s super useful and easy to use!

[@Bloopie666]

Is it possible to use the prompter without the camera? I'm an artist so my camera is pointed down to the tabletop to showcase the item I've made. I do both live teachings and podcasts - so I'm wondering if this unit can be used without the camera.

[@TheCoolFactor]

Of course, a teleprompter is just a canted mirror reflecting a screen. But... why would you even need it if you don't use a camera behind it? The whole idea of a prompter is to look in the camera lens while reading a script so that you maintain eye contact. In your case you can just use... a cheap, separate display for the exact same effect.

[@youdidntaskforthisbuthereitis]

Yes.

[@KentHammerFM]

How can we increase the font size of KZbin chat when live streaming. Its tiny by default. This doesn't seem to be good for youtubers more for twitch people

[@JosephFabs]

Hello! I just want to know if this will work with my Instal360 Link? Thank you for answering!

[@elgato]

Yes, Prompter is compatible with Insta360 Link. Check our growing full list of supported devices here: www.elgato.com/s/prompter-camera-check

@@elgato wow! Thank u! When will u be bringing this to the Philippines?

[@siegelfilmsweddingvideo]

you think you could use this outside?

when does it come out or is it sold out?

[@elgato]

Prompter was released on October 17th, but sold out immediately and is now only available on backorder. Please visit our website at elgato.com to see the expected shipment date for your region. 🙌

To be perfect, the screen just needed to be bigger

Can you use the Elgato Promoter with the DJI Osmo Pocket 3? How?

[@elgato]

We have not tested the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 ourselves and cannot verify if it will be compatible with Prompter. Here is a growing list of cameras we and fellow creators have tested: elgato.com/s/prompter-camera-check

Yes it should. They said you could achieve 21mm with the designated plate, and even 17mm with the universal plate.

[@TouchToneDSG]

@@ChristopheLanglois nice thank you

[@ChristopheLanglois]

You are most welcome@@TouchToneDSG

[@davetriesthis]

Are there really no ways to use keyboard shortcuts to control prompter? Or a bluetooth remote? That functionality is in essentially every piece of promoter software. If I have to buy a steam deck or pedal to get the ability to scroll up or down without clicking on my Mac, that really ruins the point of having a teleprompter.

[@VeteranBiker]

The promoter does not connect with any consistency on any Mac. It is a lick of the draw if it works. Fix this

[@elgato]

We're sorry you're experiencing this. If you haven't already, please file a ticket at e.lga.to/help so our support team can look into this.

[@TrailBoundco]

Can you hook it up to an iPhone instead of a computer?

[@elgato]

Unfortunately, you cannot power Prompter using an iPhone. However, you can use your iPhone as a camera inside Prompter.

[@ezclapper4205]

BTTV and FFZ are supported, what about 7TV?

[@Steggy]

We’re looking into adding this one too a few people have mentioned it to us. Thank you!

[@yumoa1905]

Great Idea.... unfortunately it's always out of stock. I can't buy it anywhere. I also would love to partner for a review in our channel, (77K subscribers) ... but ... I just cant understand why such an amazing product was not made available in proper amount for sale. I needed it for this Sunday . :( impossible now.... It's been out of stock forever.

We’ve simply received a ton of orders for the product on launch day that this is what’s causing things to push back. I’d recommend placing a back order to secure your spot in line as right now that’s the best way to get one asap

Isn't it a bit small?

@@Somtric all good :) i know 300€ ist bit too much but in combination with stream deck is a massiv tool for News and Facts.

[@leslielemmon7729]

So. I See Elgato Prompter doesn't have an article either, just like iPhone - or anything Apple, really.. Seems a like new trend has been born. I shall try to incorporate an article-less world in my life as well. Question is just: Why? I just hope pronouns won't be dropped next - It gets hard enough to formulate full sentences without articles as it is. btw: You forgot to drop article at 2:57.
