What is Elgato Prompter? Introduction and Overview

[@MrHaydnSir]

a fine addition to the youtuber apology starter kit

[@__Est.her__]

Touchè😂

[@josephocchipintivines]

Nice one

[@Larry]

Hopefully, Elgato plan to release a guitar or sympathy dog to go with it. :D

[@SpookyDeer]

I'd been holding out on getting a teleprompter for a long time because I just couldn't see enough utility for a typical one. This is such a well thought-out and implemented design from Elgato. Congrats and huge thanks to Steggy for championing this design and getting it made even despite doubts. I could see this being as key as a Stream Deck for content creators.

[@Fernandor_]

Once again Elgato takes something and makes it really convenient and easy to use

[@Simon_Laserna]

Love that you made it super smooth for people in your eco system, while still making it really good for everyone else as well! Excellent design choices. Not buying a teleprompter yet, but when I get there this is the one for me!

[@EwingHDTV]

i want this so bad i cant wait to buy it!

[@RoryValintine]

1:52 - So a larger Elgato Prompter to be the next thing sounds like the right thing ??? yes !

[@ToKiniAndy]

Psyched for this. Already pre-ordered one.

[@VanishingTacos]

Very cool to see a company promoting 3d printing parts for their products!

[@alexhurschlerai]

Der Prompter ist großartig, und ich nutze ihn selbst! Ich habe viele tolle Feedbacks bekommen, weil ich den Menschen direkt in die Augen schauen kann. Das macht enorm viel aus und kann ich jedem empfehlen.

[@aryella7107]

this is genius. and online interviews and zoom calls are a lot more personal, since you can actually make eye contact with the person.

[@zurvey]

I preordered one. There is a lot in innovation in this device.

[@GBKgg]

HUGE KUDOS to elgato to aknowledge and promote 3D printers use for its product, hope this becomes a more common practice in the future!

[@AngelArsFoundation]

New feature request - The teleprompter speed follows you along as you're speaking the text. This would make everything you say appear more natural because you could say some parts more emotional (faster) - or other parts more integral (slower) instead of a set rate of screen text speed.

[@beabetternovice]

I think we're there

[@dbeach4044]

Ordered mine. This was such a great and complete tutorial. More kudos to Elgato.

[@gotraderpros]

finally, someone who is clearly letting you know the whole setup and not just talking about that foot padel. Thanks!!

[@MartinMerayoUCDM]

Voice recognition please!

[@dbeach4044]

Ordered mine. Looks perfect for my use.

[@gilekill1]

I would love to see the prompter app being able to download google docs or use word docs as well for scripts in the future. That might actually make it viable for me

[@mindflud8219]

ctrl c ctrl v

[@elgato]

We're looking into different features we can add into Camera Hub to bolster its capabilities with Prompter. This is only V1 - we've got a lot of road ahead of us!

[@Evan_Campbell]

Would love to see a larger size!

[@Evan_Campbell]

To add to that, it would be neat if there was at least one additional input. Maybe not ideal for most but imagine having a two pc setup and then being able to put your game in the prompter or maybe some other creative use case from an alternate video source. By tying the prompter to one pc as the source there is some limit there.

[@Skillthrive]

Another massive benefit I'm excited about is editing my scripts ad hoc from my computer without taking my phone or tablet off. 💯

[@ModernCobra]

Any chance you’re going to release larger versions? My workspace has my cameras and monitors set back about 36” and I could really use a 12-16” teleprompter.

[@elgato]

We're always looking into and considering new products or features - but unfortunately can't discuss unreleased products since there's no guarantees a product makes it to the finish line of development.

[@drinkwater9891]

@@elgato i was JUST looking at making a 12 inch to 14 inch teleprompter setup with desview and some random usb -c monitor with image flip from amazon just for zoom meetings, i also just started using camo app with my xperia phone. what do you think will this 9 inch cover the basics for zoom eye contact or do i need bigger for clicking on buttons and whatnot? i think after i get a teleopmpter setup then i can use steamdeck to become a master at this kind of stuff. i have never made a video of myself or used zoom properly in my life before not even with my laptop webcam haha

[@elgato]

@@drinkwater9891 For Zoom eye contact and button clicking 9" should be completely fine. When we were developing Prompter we originally spec'd a 7" screen but in using it on Zoom etc. found that it was a bit too small - and as we tried bigger sizes 9" was a sweet spot for size/performance.

[@drinkwater9891]

@@elgato cheers for response youre a don, you made a sale once i find one in the uk, to be honest i was hoping that would be your answer as the smaller the easier for people with limited space like me

[@rogerhuston8287]

I wish there was an XL version, I would use it more for zoom calls

[@LegendaryMaoMao20]

I really love this teleprompter!! I hope this gets released soon with a 16 inch!! This will help my content creation for my small production company by a lot!!👍❤️

[@LocustAndWildHoney]

I may need to add this to my kit

[@elgato]

👀 👀 👀

[@BeastSports02]

This is amazing! The speed control with stream decks is a great idea! One idea I would like to see for those that don't have Stream Deck+ is the ability to play and pause when the teleprompter script is moving. That way I don't have to hit one key too many times. Still an amazing product!! Will be on the Christmas list.

[@FRMillionaires]

I can't ditch my current teleprompter unless this has the ability to scroll based on diction.

[@PawFromTheBroons]

Or, if not, come with a remote to scroll text...

[@koenignero]

The remote they are using is the stream deck

[@PawFromTheBroons]

@@koenignero I was thinking of a small USB stick like remote with just Up/Down functions

[@FrugalStreamer]

You use Stream Deck.

[@greinalexandra]

I currently use an app for dictation based scrolling. And it’s so practical. But it was hard to find an app, which supports German language 😔

was getting ready to bash Elgato for this new product but they actually got it right, very thoughtful build and use. Great job.

[@codythep]

Very cool and innovative product that inegrates well with an ecosystem. Well done Elgato!! Makes me hopeful for the future

[@dominuskelvin]

Definitely getting prompter. Great job Elgato

[@Because_Reasons]

This is actually awesome!

[@EvetheMedium]

Can it be used with Ecamm live? thank you

[@KismetBP]

Wow! So well thought out. I am so putting this on my list to add to my Streaming studio! ❤🤘 Great Overview!

[@crazygooner3398]

Once again…You all nailed it! Great product!

[@chrisp6313]

One feature I’d really like is to be able to add the key points I need to cover in a zoom call and tick them off (via streamdeck) as each point covered to remove them from the prompter screen. This would be really valuable as currently I have to put key points on post it notes around the monitor which sucks or as a note on the screen which sucks if I need to screen share. This way, on prompter, I’d know they were securely and conveniently positioned during the call. I’d buy it for this feature alone

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

When I do presentations and use bullet point notes, I use it like a secondary monitor and put the notes right up on screen (I usually use Notion for my notes, but sometimes the Notes app). I just use my mouse to scroll down the notes and check off as I go. Works really well :)

[@LuigiLBL]

Amazing how you look for real use problems to solve. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@driggsy]

Loving mine so far. I used it tonight for the first time with Twitch chat, and it was such a great experience

[@chrisp6313]

What did you use it for?

[@driggsy]

@@chrisp6313 so far I’ve used it for recording video scripts, video chatting with co-workers, and reading twitch chat while I’m live. Fantastic product 💯

[@abhas1]

This is so amazing. Excellent product and excellent presentation. I can't believe I was just looking for this and you guys have it ready! I really wish I could connect an iPhone or put a txt file on a usb or something to make it truly standalone.

[@trevspires]

I will buy when there’s a 16mm version :D Would also mean a bigger screen, which i’d appreciate

[@Swerve256]

Will be getting this for sure for both work and play

[@mustachiomikerva]

I would love to see an “XL” version where the screen size is nearly doubled and have the functionality to rotate the prompter and display screen from landscape to portrait.

[@danchezsays]

Yes! It seems like you covered everything. I just want one that is larger, so it can be my second monitor. Somethine like the size of a 13-15 inch laptop would do.

[@2-meter]

The larger the screen, the more your eyes travel while reading. Viewers will pick up on that.

[@Citizen_one]

As a documentary filmmaker, I am always struggling to get straight-to-camera interviews that feel natural. THANK YOU!

[@limit22]

game changer because of price and versatility. Love it!

[@SeanOulashin]

I'm obsessed with this. I hope it comes back in stock soon 🥹

[@GazTommo]

Fantastic. Elgato just make the best products, simple as.

[@elektrokatzer]

Very well done overview covering all aspects. Perfect!

[@dharmageek3732]

Thanks, I had just bought Face Cam last year just -before you released the new Elgato Cam, did the same with Steam Deck, just before you released the new Stream Deck Plus - Guess I'm an editor not knowing in advance these new items were coming out. So I am a little miffed that you don't have a backplate specifically for the Face Cam as you release this. I have been waiting for years for such a teleprompter to me made - and now you have done it. Elgato you deserve 10 Stars for this one - but hey I'm still sad about no backplate for the Face Cam. Some of us take a while to be able to upgrade devices especially if we blew it and bought the last generation just before the NEW comes out.

[@elgato]

You can use the Universal Backplate that comes with Prompter to attach your Facecam to Prompter.

[@mariusserbann]

The Prompter looks amazing! Do you guys plan to release a larger one as well?

[@ReportsOnChina]

Heya, when will this product be available in Mainland China?

[@Opeyemi.sanusi]

I am getting this in the future. I don't have a use case yet but it's something i definately need

[@LordParvin]

It doesn't seem like I can purchase it from Australia. Any help?

[@nakedAgility]

It would be great to have a video on how to place the prompter! Hight vs eyeliner vs monitor.

[@twistedjourney]

Please make a bigger Version of this for screen display

[@EmilySaxton]

Just got mine today, the only thing I'm running into is the software atm being buggy. Text isn't updating to the prompter and also won't play when hitting the play button.

[@allthecommonsense]

How did you get it?!? The website says it's only available for pre-order.

[@elgato]

We're sorry you're experiencing this. If you haven't already, please file a ticket at e.lga.to/help.

[@kidShibuya]

This is great but where is the HDMI 2.1 capture card?

[@FredzDimension]

I need this

[@Bullidom11]

As an artist I wish there was a simple plugin for using photoshop or clip studio paint tools on the stream deck. Cause I want to live stream as I draw and use this to read the chat as I draw and communicate with my viewers 😊 thanks.

[@RaikaSTi]

Now we just need a Elgato Prompter XL

[@vidventory]

Great product and we're using the prompter ourselfes for 2 months now in our business studio. The main selling point for me was the possibility to use two prompters simultaneous so the reader can switch seamless between two cameras. Actually it wasn't an advertised selling point, so you could add that to your list of features... don't really know why you didn't so far, as it's awesome. As for our setup the system is good but it definitely has some limitations and lacks some features. I've already send an email, but who knows whos reading them. So let me give you another point of view, which is not a one-man-army streamer but a small studio, which might in different needs than a streamer. But I see lots of potential and it's not the hardware, it can be totally solved in software. We're also having a stream deck attached so the person infront of camera can easily change speed, font size, jump chapters and many more, which makes it way easier than using the laptop. Hope you're adding some stuff along the road / fixing some issues: - You can't copy the whole text out later on, which is really bad if you made some changes in app and would like to keep track of everything by copying it back to a Word-document which you can hand to the editor. - You can't connect a shared document, like a Word-document from a cloud service, which would also solve issue #1 (that would actually the best thing for us as a small team, so everyone would be able to access the file and the reader would have the most recent text on screen) - Btw it's sparking some inner fears to misclick on 'minus' ( - ) and instantly losing my script without another warning like 'do you really wan't to delete that script yes / no' - Please add a possibility to highlight text by underline or change textsize, or change text color of that very part, for now you can't do that or only the the text as a whole... - No chance to use the software without attaching the prompter via USB, so no chance to prepare anything beforehand - No preview window, which would make it a lot easier without attaching the monitor - a live preview window on the laptop would also be beneficial to see exactly where the reader is, so someone behind the camera can adjust speed as needed (sometimes it doenst matter how great you prepared a text, some parts need a speed up, while others need to be read slower) - as you're usually limiting the horizontal space so you won't notice the eyes wandering around as much, it would be great to use that space for editorial information. So if you're recording a live video you can give info to fix hair, move somewhere else, or whatever is of importance. As said before, this could be added later on via updates and I hope Elgato will do so, as this is a great piece of equipment, not only for solo streamers but also for all studios using a prompter.

😎

[@ironphoenix8695]

after all of this it took me working out myself rather than telling me what it is the fact that a teleprompter is a camera that shoots through the back of the display text or imagery so you can read off while directly look at the camera which works better than looking off center to read something.

[@PRMaddHatter]

Can the Elgato Prompter work with the Elgato Ring Light?

[@steveabdu8767]

I love the Elgato Prompter but the one drawback that I've found is that it is difficult to travel with. It doesn't fold into a compact position and its' odd shape makes it difficult to safely pack. A hinge of some sort would make this perfect tool for the mobile user!

[@Sketchrcat]

Will Elgoto ever make a large 16" or 18" Prompter version? (I don't want the teleprompter I'd use so close to me & I like a bigger view screen for bigger text).

[@elgato]

We're always looking into and considering new products or features - but unfortunately can't discuss unreleased products since there's no guarantees a product makes it to the finish line of development.

[@editorskeys]

Hey how can you control the speed of the teleprompter. Is thre a remote or voice recognition

[@elgato]

You can adjust the scroll speed of Prompter in Camera Hub software or set it to Auto-scroll.

[@TheWatchFrogs]

can you guys make sure restream chat can be integrated into the app? If you say "yes" i'll pre order right now

[@The_Underworld_Prince]

Can you do a video on how to manage twitch chat on the elgato prompter?

[@techwolf1900]

Is there any chance to NOT get supported this on my windows 10 with a 3.0 USB port available? Do i need an integrated GPU insinde my CPU, do i need free ports on my rtx 3060? Or can i use this even when i already run 4 monitors? Does the software make this appear as a Monitor or do i need certain drivers? I really like the concept but im not sure if i get it running or limit myself in terms of other monitors (via my graphics card)

[@elgato]

DisplayLink works a bit differently than a monitor plugged into your graphics card - it creates a virtual GPU of sorts that can be encoded by the CPU etc. So you should be fine with your setup.

[@elgato]

Glad you think so!

[@thebritishindian1]

Love the 3D printing marketplace for backplates.

[@twoknife]

I would love to see some kind of a way to attach it to camera rails. I would rather support the weight of the prompter if I am leaving it set up on a camera for a while. I modded my old prompter to use normal 15mm rods. Hopefully something fits. If not, there is always Fusion 360 and the 3D printer to fix that.

[@edgarfelisberto]

In my studio, I stay 3 - 4 meters away from the camera. I hope you produce a wider version of this prompter. It'd be very useful to me. I also hope it can be easily controlled by Stream Deck Pedal.

[@BOTGRINDER]

yoooo perfect!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I want to love it, I really do, but after hours of trying to get it configured, it really has me stumped, almost to the point of returning it. From the Facecam Pro that doesn't look near as good at the Facecam with horrible focusing response, to the 3rd monitor only showing my desktop, and if I drag anything onto it, I have no mouse control at all, to not even being able to pause and start it from my regular Stream deck. I have to look at my monitor just to start and pause... kind of defeats the whole idea. If I could just get this to work with my stream deck, I would probably be happy with it in its most basic functions, which is sad it's not designed around your own product.
