Three years ago I rigged up a teleprompter for Zoom calls / Skype interviews, specifically so I could see the person I was talking to while also looking directly into the camera, and at the time I searched YouTube to see if anyone else had been using the same setup, and I found literally only ONE video, and the guy was just as excited as I was to have thought of the idea. It is a game changer for interviews and calls. I almost wish Elgado didn't make this, cuz now everyone is going to be doing it!

Can we just appreciate how beautiful and well crafted that whole intro sequence was 👌🙏

[BrettKollmann]

I can only imagine how hard that first shot was to do. Just want to leave a note that I respect that you took the time to do it. Really impressive!

As a podcaster, I use a teleprompter for making the connection feel more real for the guest and viewer. They are also amazing for making ads and other content in one take which I love as a busy dad and husband who doesn't have hours to make a single piece of content. I'm super pumped for this!

They have my attention. Definitely will shortlist when they get a 12-inch+ model released as that would be far more useful generally, IMO.

The problem with a larger teleprompter (as in your suggestion for a "full size monitor" version) is that if you read text from it, your eyes will very obviously be darting left-and-right, which honestly makes the reader look like an idiot. It helps to put the monitor/teleprompter (and camera) farther away, but that puts you back to the problem of trying to read it, as well as making it hard to use a webcam which is designed to be up close. The Elgato Prompter looks to be about the right size: Big enough to read clearly, narrow enough so your eyes won't be jumping around. I'd say Elgato did their usual good job of thinking it through for real-life use. Of course a "Prompter XL" would be fine for the "eye contact" illusion in meetings where you're not actually reading rows of text.

I think one thing to consider about a larger, full-monitor prompter is that it would telegraph more eye movement as you scan from one side of the screen to the other, especially at closer ranges. It would become clearer on camera that you're reading and break the "immersion" factor that using a prompter is geared towards.

The production quality of this video and the transitions look fantastic!

[paynetalent]

Nice review - I think I have found my next purchase! :) Loving the fact we can cast a screen from our computer directly to the teleprompter screen. This saves me time copying and pasting my script into an app, then using my phone under the glass!

[razrbane]

I absolutely love the pan out from the prompter at the beginning of the video. Very cool. Seriously, very cool touch.

Been using a teleprompter working remotely for over 2 years now. With a similar setup albeit for about twice the price but it’s a slightly larger display and higher resolution.

The Lilliput A11 is a 10” monitor that allows for in display rotation with zero latency. It works great paired with a Glide Gear TMP500.

I LOVE this teleprompter, I use it for everything, work, streaming, recording, i've legit never found anything so versatile.

[SamDawson]

Looks nice - I do think that voice controlled scrolling is a must have for modern day teleprompters.. It's soooo much nicer having it scroll at your own pace. (the app Teleprompter Pro does this)

[nickieplease]

Elgato has done it again. Releasing something I don’t really need but really want.

[aaronoldchannel]

Elgato always coming in to change the game!! I’ve been working with a workaround setup that does all the same but with like 5 cables lol

I also vote for a bigger one - actual monitor size would be dope!

[Behzat_Rasuli]

Besides the recorded videos Im teaching 300-400 students maths in zoom meetings and looking in the eyes was important for me but I couldn’t do it with the cam I was streaming but with this Im so excited. As a huge fan of Elgato I’ll defitely get one. Thank you so much Harris for this. Best

[aliabdaal]

amazing video, can’t wait to get one of these

[DarrenAllatt]

I’ve been using a Teleprompter on my channel for 2 years now; it’s been a game changer. It makes my whole production process more streamlined, being able to write my script, ensure I say the right things, and it cuts down editing.

I have had a similar setup to this through different components, but it’s all been jank - so having an AIO setup, so much cleaner.

[PixelFabula]

Can we just admit that this video is low-key a masterpiece...In many ways 👍 Love the way you do things, Harris! Learning a lot! And the Elgato Prompter is absolute 🔥

[WolfsHaven]

I've used one for software tutorials for a while. You are look the screen and the camera at the same time. It makes it almost look like your narrating over previously recorded footage. It's also great for chatting you just bring up the site and zoom in on the chat window, if it doesn't allow you to pop it out. It works great.

I DIYed my second prompter when I didn't like my original parrot prompter. Too small and you can't use a real monitor. But less than $50 in parts and an old monitor and I was in business.

More recently I purchased a professionally made prompter for $150 then got one of those 15" portable monitors for $100. It's working great and your in the ballpark of the price of the Elgato one that's only 9". I highly recommend it.
