What do you think of the Elgato Prompter?

[@bigdamij]

I think it’s a great idea and surprised it took so long to develop it.

[@AncientPangolinGaming]

i made one of these out of an old phone and a prompter mirror thing from amazon a couple years ago after watching one of your highlight vids. it was more challenging than i thought but it was definitely worth it. wish this was around back then

[@LokiEML]

I want one but can't afford one so time to save lol

[@redolentthought7085]

Gonna pick one up. @nuttylmao You also have a lot of stream decks. Have you been experiencing lag on buttons lately? I'm spreading around in PC hubs, external 3.0 hubs, etc... then lags again. Been happening for a month or so. even simple scene changes happen when it feels like it at times... just thought of it, when you showed all, of your decks. (probably a penis joke in there...)

[@prodigy_xd]

By the way .. A workaround for not having a prompter at all is using "nvidia AI eye contact" filter and use a browser based teleprompter. Throw that at your main screen, paste your text, read and have the AI fix your eyes to appear looking into the camera. Yes, we all know its creepy but its a solution that is absolutely free.

[@hazonku]

Wow this was THE MOST informative video on this yet! I totally didn't just open it on my other monitor & play it muted because Nutty told me to watch the whole video during his live stream.

[@estebangardila]

I had NO idea you could project a scene in a display and no one else would be able to see it. And your ideas for the prompter are just fantastic. Every video I learn so much thanks to you, nutty. Keep up the good work!

[@sohailmerchant]

dude these new tips are amazing. love the red border when recording. thanks for sharing mate.

[@GarlandCoulson]

Great video and I loved how you differentiated your video from all the other reviews by showing some possible tweaks!

[@andreasdk]

First video I saw on your channel - definitely not the last. Wauw, you are GOOD! Nice review of the prompter. Love that you took it ten more levels up!

[@SantiYounger]

awesome video! Would definitely love to see a long video with the upgrades you made. Keep up the great work!

[@SuperDerek]

Would absolutely watch the tutorial sister video to this one, Nutty!

[@birthing4blokes46]

great video thanks. i have just got one and love it so far. great ideas, brilliant.

[@djsusan00]

Honestly your ideas for this are pretty rad and different dude. I like this teleprompter because of the the cool software it comes with and the fact that it just works as a second monitor. I do agree they shouldn't have released it as a beta and waited for the full versionw as made. Keep up the hard work dude.

[@nickjohansen9038]

This is a great budget option for professionals. I'm picking this up for my commercial productions.

[@GameoverUy]

you could make the overlay chat on streamelements way taller, and just show the bottom on the scene, that way you can scroll moving the source down, and catchup with chat you missed. And you can map it to another dial on the streamdeck

[@nuttylmao]

GIGA BRAINED

[@KingPhoenixEmbers]

I've been considering getting one of these for a while. It may have to wait until I have the disposable income, but I think it'll be great to have! Gonna try and implement some of your great ideas, too!

[@raybp7512]

You'll get to 1m subs one day. The more people get into streaming. Ive honestly learned so much from your channel. Thank you

[@flufflessMC]

Did not know, that I can project any OBS Scene to any Monitor. I knew I would learn something new, even I don't intend to buy the Prompter. Thank you Nutty

[@KhleoThomasTV]

Love the video! Definitely want to learn how to add that crosshair

[@theunkownmr.562]

Coming in clutch, brother! Very informative video while NOT sounding salesy. Keep it up!

[@gadgetaudit]

Nice job. Thoroughly informative.

[@TheCoolFactor]

The amount of excellent ideas in this one is TOO DAMN HIGH! Just got the Prompter, definitely will try a lot of these out. Thanks nutty!

[@marc3793]

I bought the Stream Pedal when it came out and quite honestly don't really use it. To mute the mic, sometimes. As soon as this Prompter came out, I was like "now this will be a good use for the pedal!" 🎉

[@RoxiieSays]

I love how you customized yours! Unfortunately, mine it sitting here and Camera Hub just wont work. I may have to return if it doesn't start working soon.

[@mrgusse]

Love your creativity. Good stuff

[@Elhiot]

Need to see a longer video that how you improved the elgato prompter ! :D

[@DemiKlo]

nutty really went nuts on this one

[@willarias]

I just subscribed for your great sense of humour. Cheers mate😂

[@ajlakanen]

Very informative, and funny as per usual. Keep up the good work

[@ThePianoKeys]

I'd love to see a detailed video showing how you did that stuff you skimmed over. Thank you!

[@speed2852]

great vid as always !

[@FutureRideshareMillionaire]

You can edit your grid lines to include ratios for various social media platforms.

[@cyphre]

Wow, that's a lot better use of the thing. Maybe uses a little more CPU (not sure how rough the elgato software is vs OBS), but those are definitely features I hope they just add themself later.

[@joshgoldsworthy]

How does Nutty still not have millions upon millions of subs? It's ridiculous.

[@fureafila]

Dang, it seems tough to purchase! It’s been on a 2 months delivery wait and does not ship overseas. Currently it’ll only ship on late march.

[@steamforce]

Wow the recording indicator is an awsome idea (and the mike level indicator too)! But, I've been looking how to build one to my scene to add it to my prompter but I did not succeed. How did you do? Kind of filter?

[@managerofthenewportplumses301]

Great video. I came to hear about the Elgato Prompter - but I am totally wanting to know what those table stands are that you are able to mount those mirrorless cameras on - I have been looking for a really stable monopod like device that rests your desk and go up about a foot to two feet.

[@OSUPhoenix13]

Genius. I never thought to incorporate OBS to make my prompter easier to use.

[@StewartStewart]

Ooooh! Projecting a scene is genius!

[@VDeeO_Buff]

I've gottent to like your channel and hey, I like your little improvements too, the crosshairs one in particular. So simple yet so useful. I'd LOVE to see Prompter Text Mode inside Camera Hub updated so that I could write or pre-load different scripts in there. Right now there's just one text area for scripts, would be wonderful to have some tabs in there allowing a script to be typed in each tab area so that I could then just jump between each one at the click of a mouse or a stream deck button. I need to be able to jump quickly between scripts and right now it's very clumsy trying to do that. I could put each script in its own paragraph but naah.....introduces too many limitations to the workflow. I'm a simple type of guy :) Here's hoping the Text Mode is updated to make it more versatile so that it can handle multiple script fast access :)

[@WolfsHaven]

My first prompter was one of those small ones that only fits a small cellphone, it wasn't big enough. I did DIY my 2nd prompter, it sucked. Not really but it looked janky when I took it out in public for other uses. Several months before Elgato brought out their's I bought another one off Amazon that I use with a 15" portable monitor. It works well and looks professional when I put it in front of other people. Together I paid almost as much as the Elgato. I have used it for a monitor for doing software tutorials, it gives the viewer the impression that you are narrating over previously recorded video. I've used it for reading chat from a browser during live streams. I've tried multiple prompter programs but I haven't found one I like yet, free or paid. I've had my best luck just using a word processor and scrolling through a document I've formatted to look good on the prompter. I love your ideas for OBS, I'll have to try those.

[@pxrmoto]

👀 just got to make essay videos… your ideas to improve the teleprompter are awesome Edit: definitely interested in seeing how you perfected the scene in obs for the prompter

[@VideoMakerTwist]

Hey man, nice video! I have a question. At 01:25, what was your Horizontal Margin setting for the text? What percentage? Thanks a lot!

[@Bleats_Sinodai]

I wonder if that setup you did for the chat would work to put it on a CRT TV (I want to have two as practical props, one showing Chat and the other showing Alerts).

[@VideogamesAsArt]

projecting to the display is souch a great function

[@Q8Webmaster]

Genius 👏 How can we get your Teleprompter upgrades? 😅 Can you export the OBS scene..and the stream deck+ .. etc Thanks!

[@Prissom]

Okay hear me out what would be actually nutty is if they added a feature that when you read your script it automatically finds what word you are on through your microhone input like a reverse text to speech and scrolls down accordingly.

[@waynieoaks]

The Elgato website shows the prompter works with the Insta 360 Link - but has anybody tried? Would love to know if the face tracking stops working as a result?

[@keithkeith2106]

Hey! Thanks for the video. I am having great success using Zoom with prospects. Even without turning on my video but now that I have my Excel presentation fine tuned I am ready for video. I use Excel live with prospects based upon several data points which they share w me on the call. The monitor I use is 45 inch wide. Every once in awhile a prospect will say it is too small and the can’t see it. How could I use Elegato to make my presentation better and have more eye contact. Any thoughts on how I should mix up the screen sharing w video? Any other guidance would be appreciated.

[@deliberationroom]

Cool! Cant wait until mine ships 5 months after i ordered it lol

[@FonixVR_]

At first I didnt see the point, but this makes me want to get it now

[@SniffenJ]

I've said it before, but I'm finally going to do it, I'm going to sub to that patreon so hard.

[@HonestAuntyElle]

Honestly wish it had a HDMI input to use as a camera monitor without a pc

[@krayways]

WE LOVE THE ONE TRUE KING NUTTY!

[@marvinsw]

i swear, i want so bad - but the reason its not available - i just cant wait

[@FutureRideshareMillionaire]

I can't even consider using this unless it has scroll based on diction.

[@martinowong]

Can you use it with the camera in portrait mode?

[@JJtoob]

I think if I used a prompter for chat, I'd want to use the screen vertically.

[@gunvald89]

Do you know anyway I can show my notes from the current slide from keynote or PowerPoint on the promter?

[@nuttylmao]

It just acts as a second monitor, so you can just put your keynote slides on the prompter.

[@G4M3RGU1D3]

I'll buy one for sure, away those big screens for just chat

[@delsarcade]

So far the one MAJOR issue I've run into is that my Sony ZV-E10 will overheat with the universal attachment cloth that goes over the camera to block light. My camera has never overheated before. So this may be a deal breaker for me.

[@Q8Webmaster]

You don’t need it with Zv-e10! also open the camera screen so that it gets colder. Worst case is to buy Ulanzi fan for your camera.

[@delsarcade]

@@Q8Webmaster Good suggestion, I did indeed have the screen closed! I completely forgot about that, thanks! No worries, though. I actually pulled out my spare Lumix G95 to have a semi-permanent setup fixed to this thing. That will free up my second (smaller) ZVE-10 for other camera angles in my home Arcade. I appreciate the suggestion!

[@Q8Webmaster]

@@delsarcade Glad to help! I am waiting for my Teleprompter to reach in Feb. I do use Teleprompters and never had heating issues. I bought the Ulanzi fan (just in case), the only downside of the fan is the noise and the solution is a Professional mic that can eliminate the noise. Try with the screen open first, Zve10 is very successful camera that should never overheat easily.

[@jerkypurge]

Elgato hire this man

[@itsjustdroid]

Even though its backordered I need more tips lol

[@MePeterNicholls]

Idea. Voice recognition so it knows how fast slow you re reading. But … that could be flawed. Lol

[@TheThormungandr]

Please do a video with all the little updates.

[@HonestAuntyElle]

Tempting to greenscreen the OBS master or mic mixer as a source instead of making your own.

[@scottabergermd]

Would love to buy the product, but they make it extremely difficult. Even on your well done review thank you very much and really honest, there is no link you provide to purchase the product which is not really understandable since I’m sure you would get reimbursed something for that. Please let me know when you have such information about availability and even better or link that works to purchase from your site. Thank you, I love your reviews.

[@danielbr93]

The absolute giga chad blessing us with another video 🙏

[@mtmccornack]

If i had that foot pedal.... Let's just say "my dog" would then have a foot pedal, and she doesn't even have feet!

[@marqusee]

so sick. i ordered it a couple days after they launched it and they keep delaying it. so lame.

[@FedericoMaragoni]

You’re the best nutty!!!

[@OiiMerch]

I actually have (well HAD) the Teleprompter 1. The teleprompter was mid. The mirror itself was always blurry leaving my footage to be recorded in a lesser quality. 2. It also doesn't come with adapters like the Elgato Prompter does, why is this an issue? Because EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. you want to change out the camera, change out the lens, hell change out anything you need to remove the cloth that envelops the camera and remove said camera. IF you don't have a dummy battery or a quick release mount (for the camera) this gets extremely tedious and annoying. This isn't even including that IF you have a longer lens on your camera you then have to unscrew the base plate to move it backwards and again...this process gets immensely tedious. With Prompter you can just screw on the adapter you need/want to the lens and just slide the camera in (assuming your camera works with the mounts so you don't need to change the regular base plate AND assuming you don't need that lens for anything else AND that the prompter will stay on a mount of some sort on a desk). Then of course the whole Elgato ecosystem &programs just works beautifully together vs any regular ol setup WITHOUT the Elgato programs and products.

[@abbellodenonna]

Could i rec my face when i use the Elgato in Monitor Mode?

[@TheWatchFrogs]

oh my goodness, I might just have to throw money this dude's way. this video was easily one of the best on the prompter.

[@devonleblanc9152]

Yes, indeed. Let's.

[@levy2k6]

i'd a been extra lazy and just thrown Chatterino on the prompter

[@Hyacsho]

Sup Nutty! Thought I'd comment on a more recent video. Would you have it in line to make more videos around using Streamer Bot and Speaker Bot>? :D

[@tee_ef_em]

Goat

[@gabertvonlichtenstein]

Those feet shots though

[@catmatician]

nutty harris 😂

[@derCharles]

Delivery in 5 month, lol

[@MikaelGuggenheim]

Which make it worth spending 30h to do the research and building your own. :p

[@ThirdxTrick]

That is a lot of milky way

[@Moraima_Buonafede]

Where can I get one? It’s out of stuck on Elgato site till April next year 😭😞

[@nuttylmao]

Unfortunately there's no way to get it faster. I hope they significantly increase production, I think Elgato was surprised just how popular the Prompter ended up being.

[@EricaVainTV]

NUTTY DON'T MISS!!!!!!! I was waiting for this video from YOU and you didnt disappoint! Thank youuuuuu!!!

[@tek_soup]

my camera 8ft away with a 50mm FE Lens. not gonna work.

[@wayne_taylor]

👍

[@colt45lmer]

i want a giant one to replace my monitor......

[@SparklesofGold]

Can it do youtube chat?

[@Blue-eu5qn]

I thought there was a unwritten rule not to show your feet on camera XD

[@bartekowca666]

6:30 I PAY FOR YOUR ONLYFANS YOU YOU GIVE FEET PICS FOR FREE?!?

[@Keith.W]

Sound is out of synch

[@Bendero]

STOP selling to us crap devices!!!!

[@nuttylmao]

Cry more lmao

[@okokayy]

damb u were there and i was staying across the street at resorts world i wanted to go so bad 🥲

[@googleisadick]

$280? Considering a key light is $200 and is actual garbage, I’m surprised by their pricing for this.
