[@elgato]

Hi Luria, thanks for the great feedback! We will work to implement a faster maximum scroll speed in our next Camera Hub update, and have shared your other notes with the dev team as well.

[@LiveStreamingPros]

Thanks so much Elgato team!!

[@learnsccm]

@elgato - Thanks - great response and shows you listen to feedback. I've already ordered it - do we REALLY need to wait until December or could Santa bring us an early early Xmas present?

[@RVLifestyle]

Seriously, Elgato. A four-month wait? That's crazy.

[@mattmc20]

It is frustrating there are no tutorials on how to get a script to show up on my Elgato Prompter. I'm not understanding how to get the camera hub to show the script as big as I'm seeing in this video or scrolling itself.

[@Prissom]

​@mabuhayka thats what im saying ive got some gift card money and I'm itchin to buy this thing.

[@steveburholtkeys]

Wow, this is best practice on how to present a video, carefully structured and delivered at the right pace. Not easy to do! Best part was the run through of use case examples, something educators often forget to do. Thanks Luria!

[@LiveStreamingPros]

Thanks so much, glad you found this helpful! ♥

[@johnlong9786]

This could be a huge boon for remote workers! Connection with coworkers (and interviewing with possible coworkers) is difficult yet important, and this could be a big step up in being able to do that.

[@MrWinkleFlap]

In what takes me hours of research, I found several answers with just one of your videos. Thanks a lot for the insight!

[@LiveStreamingPros]

YAY! So glad I could help!

[@analytics805]

Very good and concise. You look great on this prompter too.

[@LiveStreamingPros]

I'm so glad this was helpful for you! 🎉 Hope you'll let us know how it goes!

[@TheTidyHobo]

Incredibly helpful insights and tips Luria. Thanks for sharing!

[@LiveStreamingPros]

Glad it helped! 👋

[@dougscott188]

The good news of the software weaknesses it can be improved in software updates. You are a real pro with great insight. Thanks.

[@LiveStreamingPros]

I'm so glad this was helpful for you! 🎉

[@Edu-Take]

I have the glide gear and its a pain the ass to set up each time and at times my video is out of frame. I'll definitely buy once its back in stock

[@paulwalther5237]

Your presentation is really smooth and professional. I saw on another video that this functions like a separate monitor for your computer making it more versatile than you might think. I got a small taste of that in the beginning where you briefly ran through some things you can use the prompter for but as a newbie to this I would have liked it if you slowed down just a little to explain what you were showing. But a wonderful video and I am likely to buy one. Just doing a little more research because this is really just for my hobby and has zero professional use.. as long as I'll use it I think it will be good but I sometimes buy gadgets and they just collect dust.

[@LiveStreamingPros]

Yep, not every bit of gear is for everyone! 👍

[@bigfox196]

Thanks for the video Luria! I see that you "hang" the prompter on your Lense. Aren't you worried, that the weight will damage your camera socket for the lens?

[@LiveStreamingPros]

Nope not given the weight of the Prompter, but you can (and SHOULD) mount it using the secondary mounting option - I'll show that off on the "how to setup the Prompter" video coming soon!

[@elaxis2965]

I have order one for just a week ago (Sweden) and might receive it already during next week - keeps my fingers crossed! This will be my very first prompter. Thanks for great videos Luria ⭐️

[@LiveStreamingPros]

I'm so glad this was helpful for you! 🎉 Hope you'll let us know how it goes!

[@jasonwinkle2398]

Great video--as always! Thank you. Could you share what I would need to use a shotgun mic on my Canon mirrorless camera while using the prompter?

[@LiveStreamingPros]

You wouldn't connect the mic to your camera, you'd want to get an audio mixer and connect your mic to that.

[@RealJustinZiegler]

Luria, where is your vid about how to look natural on the prompter that you referenced in this vid. I don't think it's one of your end screen vids. THx

[@LiveStreamingPros]

It's in production now. I'll be adding even more videos to this Playlist - kzbin.info/aero/PLMwzFVPy_Z9tFm2gQz5C7euaHHtxpfCeO (sorry if it seems I jumped the gun, but knew that video is coming so for long term effect, wanted to get it into the video!)

[@EPHONIC]

Good advice for uses. Does this have the ability to give a Zoom presentation or show a PDF and have a script overtop maybe with reduced opacity for the script text?

[@LiveStreamingPros]

You can display anything you can display on any other monitor, but it's not going to show up the way text does and prompt or software. But some people do is they drag their content over and kind of split the screen with whatever else they want to see at the same time.

[@KwameWarner-ve6qi]

Very helpful video. I was about to purchase a Neewer teleprompter that uses an iPad until I saw this. Thanks Luria!

[@LiveStreamingPros]

Glad it was helpful!

[@barrelando6714]

great review! Thank you.

[@LiveStreamingPros]

Thanks for watching! Do you currently use a teleprompter?

[@cjmixer99]

Thanks for this video! I discovered this product after finding your video, and was a perfect solution to what I needed. I wish this was available sooner! Currently it’s only available for preorder in December.

[@LiveStreamingPros]

Yay!!! I know... the timing is frustrating, but keep that order in! :)

[@learnsccm]

Likewise - but at least we’re on Santa’s list 😉🎅

[@EricMaechler]

thanks for this short presentation of this device. even if i can see the value - i always build my studio up and down before i need it - that's why an integrated webcam would be better...

[@LiveStreamingPros]

That's one of the awesome things about this is you can actually start with a webcam, but then continue to use it when you're ready to switch over to a different type of camera!

[@jerrywills]

Just bought it! Thanks for your video! It is a great help!

[@LiveStreamingPros]

Glad this helped! 🥳

[@robwasnj]

This is a really fair review, the included software seems a big perk of this product.

[@LiveStreamingPros]

Glad you found this helpful!

[@EditMyPodcast]

if I was going to pick another prompter software to use with this, what would it be?

[@LiveStreamingPros]

You can use whatever prompter software you like!

Hey Luria, quick question, how far away from the backwall and from the front camera are you? What are you using to light the backwall, is it a small rgb light? How many lux? Pretty neat setup, I like it. All the best

[@LiveStreamingPros]

Thanks!! So this isn’t my normal setup. I was traveling at the time. Here’s behind the scenes of my travel setup - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaCrZqGcepuIr7s

Great video and ordered. Couldn't find the link to your teleprompter hints and tips video @Luria?

[@LiveStreamingPros]

[@Gamundi08]

I enjoyed watching this video! This is very helpful for me! Thanks for sharing! ^_^

[@LiveStreamingPros]

You are so welcome!

[@easyonlineimpact]

QUESTION: I have a Mac Mini M2 Pro and I use 2 monitors. Does the teleprompter count as a 3rd monitor? Can I use it with this current setup without losing use of one of my monitors?

[@LiveStreamingPros]

Yes, the teleprompter screen counts as a monitor. You'll want to check this out for help setting up that "3rd monitor:" support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/connect-an-external-display-mchl7c7ebe08/mac

[@CharlotteDrew]

@@LiveStreamingPros I think this is an important issue to talk about in a video. One of the Elgato videos I watched left the impression that they had gotten around this issue on Mac. If they in fact did not, then that's a big speed bump in the setup.

[@easyonlineimpact]

@@LiveStreamingProsthanks Luria. You’re the best kind of Know-it-all!

[@easyonlineimpact]

@@LiveStreamingPros Thanks Luria. I knew you'd know a way to make it work. I won't get it until around Christmas, like many others.

[@AvivDegani]

Can you mirror the display to show zoom calls correctly?

[@LiveStreamingPros]

Yes, you can do that from Zoom (click up arrow on Video icon -> go to video settings -> click on/off 'Mirror My Video') or you can flip the view on the prompter itself.

[@AvivDegani]

@@LiveStreamingPros thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@cyberdefenseddi]

Very helpful ❤

[@punknugget561]

With all the money that Elgato is charging you, they should at least have an Auto-Prompting feature that ONLY scrolls as you're speaking the words. I'll just continue using my iPhone app that can perform that feature. Thanks for the video. At least it helped me to understand that it should have been the FIRST KEY FEATURE that they offered. When they do offer that later down road, I'm sure they'll be some of these units on eBay that'll I'll be able to pick up used or like new for around $175-$195. Who knows, maybe a bit less.

[@LiveStreamingPros]

For sure, this is not the best option for everyone out there, but for a lot of people this is going to be a huge win!

[@Sven-Jessen]

Great Video! Thank you!

[@LiveStreamingPros]

Glad you liked it!

[@RVLifestyle]

Would order right now. But A four-month backlog? That's crazy.

[@LiveStreamingPros]

It's super popular, for sure!

[@calihawk82]

I ordered in early November and just got mine today

[@RVLifestyle]

@@calihawk82 I ordered Dec. 2 and last I heard, it is still March. Fingers crossed. I have a big new ongoing (and paid) project that is on hold until I get this. I debated buying one from a competitor because as soon as I have one I can start the project but none matched the features of the Elgato Prompter.

[@entrepreneurtvuk]

So, what do you use to read text on screen? Word? You missed that off?

[@LiveStreamingPros]

No, you'll use special teleprompter software for that. I've got a video planned to go over that! 👍

[@sarasoueidan]

I know you're supposed to look around a little while you're reading off a prompter so that you look more natural on camera but doing it too much makes you look like you're avoiding the camera (or your audience) which feels even less natural than reading off the prompter.

[@LiveStreamingPros]

That's why practice is so important! 👍

[@CharlotteDrew]

Love your videos on this & am excited by the product. In fact I gleefully ditched my Glide Gear last weekend! I was even OK being on the backorder list. But then I got an email from Elgato that said they're charging my card now. 😤 And then the shipping dates started slipping later and later. Sorry, not sorry, but I cancelled that order. I'll get one when they're in stock and ready to ship. I suspect it will be about the same time frame. And if not, ok - no productions from my studio will suffer while waiting. This is a 'nice to have' item, not a 'must have' for my studio.

[@LiveStreamingPros]

♥

[@britishcrimewriter-LeeWood]

Does it work with the Teleprompter app software?

[@LiveStreamingPros]

Yes, it will!

[@LawrenceMeisel]

Is it possible to detach the monitor display and use it with a different teleprompter?

[@LiveStreamingPros]

No it’s built in - all in one

I have been thinking about buying one.I want to use it for zoom calls, and zoom training. I have tried using my iPad, and better display to stream to a virtual monitor, but I can not get it to work, I'm wondering will this really solve this problem?

[@LiveStreamingPros]

That's exactly what a lot of folks use this for! 👍

[@BrandNewCharlotteHomes]

I have a M2 Mac mini with two monitors connected by thunderbolt and HDMI. Will the display for the prompter not work right as a "third" monitor with my Mac since apple technically listed the max display output as two? I had an HDMI splitter before but it kept on messing up when I would turn on my camera so I had to switch it to a direct plug in for both monitors to get the best use with no issues. Would hate to lose a monitor when I use the camera or use a splitter again and have issues with my Mac not talking the right way

[@LiveStreamingPros]

Yes, it does function as a monitor - but this should help! Multiple Monitors on a Mac - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXbLoHmwa9GXibc

I love the Elgato tele prompter .... I have it for 3 days now .... and it is affortable

[@LiveStreamingPros]

That's great, so glad it's working out well for you! 🎉

[@UlliTorquato]

Hi Luria! On Elgato's homepage, it says that the promter is not compatible with the kit lens E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS of my Sony ZV-E10 camera... can it be solved? I would love to use this prompter!😅

[@LiveStreamingPros]

I believe the reason they say that is likely for ANY Zoom lens. Because this prompter attaches TO the lens, when it zooms (and often they zoom when powering up...) it's causing the lens and the prompter to move at the same time. If you have a zoom lens, and don't want to get a different one, I'd recommend attaching the prompter only when using it, after you power everything on. Kinda annoying, but...

[@UlliTorquato]

Thank you so much! That's a good solution! 😊 You are making a really good job on your channel! All the best ❤

[@ChrisOzar]

Does it have a battery? I want to attach this to my camera and walk around while filming.

[@LiveStreamingPros]

Teleprompters are really for in-studio use. 👍

[@ConstructionKronies]

Wow, i actually never would of thought of so many uses for a telepompter. I love my Parrot prompter, it does a good job but because you need a celphone tonuse it, you wont be able to do some of those other fancy tricks. Thnaks Luria.

[@LiveStreamingPros]

Sooooo many hahahah! Yes, you're right on the Parrot. It's great for its use case, but not every one!

[@MARKO2465]

[@Malecare]

Sorry if I missed this, but, can this be used with the Logitech Brio Webcam?

[@PaulDixon]

The Brio is mentioned on this page: www.elgato.com/uk/en/s/prompter-camera-check

[@LiveStreamingPros]

Between all the faceplates and the drape, it should work with pretty much anything!

[@MCstutta]

Hey Luria, would you think something like the DJI Pocket 2/3 would fit into this?

[@LiveStreamingPros]

It would probably take some hacking in order to get the angle right, but really the bigger issue is the movement that you get with a gimbal, which would end up banging against the sides and giving your audience a view of the side of the teleprompter instead of what you want them to see.

[@MCstutta]

@@LiveStreamingPros Thank you so much for the reply! I'll have to think it over.

[@tonymoore1671]

Laura- thank you! I love the ability to make it a second monitor for video interviews - not text reading. I know you have the Sony ZV E10. I checked the adaptor rings and they didn't list a 40.5 which is what I need. UGH! Help. Is it compatible with my Sony?

[@LiveStreamingPros]

Between the various faceplates and the drape this will work with just about anything! 👍

[@rkloete]

Unfortunately everyone is on backorder at this point, but keep that order in so it's not further delayed for you!

Hiya Luria, question. If you mess up while reading, is there a way to use a streamdeck to just pause it? I have a SD+, can I use the dials to adjust the text speed, fast forward or rewind?

@@LiveStreamingPros ok thanks

[@SherryBonelli]

Will this prompter work with a camera where you have a camera where you have to turn it on, the lense comes out and you have a flip out screen?

[@LiveStreamingPros]

You’d just want to mount it so when the lens is fully extended it’s not hitting the screen but there are various ways to mount it. I’ll include this in my setup from start to finish video coming soon!

[@SherryBonelli]

Thanks, Luria...I'll be interested in seeing that video when it comes out. Could you please put a link to it here when that video is live? I'm having a hard time envisioning how that would work. I'm interested in the teleprompter so I can look at people on Zoom meetings for podcasts but also so I can use it for teleprompting/scripting -- but I need to be able to see the screen for blurring the background and setting the focus.

[@AmerIdris21]

This is very insightful. Honestly, I was considering this for our studio live stream setup. It's the best option out there, but unfortunately, the distance might be difficult to manage, plus the need for converters, such as VGA and HDMI. Hopefully, they will make a 12-inch version in the future with similar features, either with SDI input or HDMI. I know the cost won't be low, but this is the best one out there for a budget-friendly kit

[@LiveStreamingPros]

This is a great option for for some people, but of course nothing works for everyone. The good news is, there are a LOT of great options out there! If you need something else, I highly recommend talking to the folks over at Prompter People: prompterpeople.com/

[@Hirokiji]

Answer to your question... I still don't know cos I can't remember your points..... You have so much going with speech tones, vocal shifts, looking up at the ceiling, various other facial cues. I was bussier watching you act than listening and can't remember much at all. So which prompter software can be used for this to increase it's versatility? Or was that a carrot on a stick to watch another video of yours? I'm finding recently, all these utubers way over act, when there doesn't need to be. It's becoming boring actually as it starts to look very manufactured.

There's no single teleprompter software that will make you comfortable using the device, that just takes practice!
