The teleprompter is the most useful tool for a team of television and radio presenters, as it allows you to read the words of the script and other announcements from the production team: there have been many applications for YouTubers and streamers, but not a solution designed for an approach more of a consumer. Elgato has seen the growing need for a teleprompter for consumers and that is why the first of them has announced.
Elgato Prompter is a compact teleprompter that puts professional video production within everyone's reach. It can be attached to a camera or webcam, so that eye contact can be maintained with viewers. It works through a computer and can display video scripts or broadcast chat thanks to Elgato's free Camera Hub software.

You can drag windows and applications so that Prompter plays that content. It is not necessary to have an additional mobile phone or tablet, since Its 9-inch screen is already integrated. Twitch streamers can interact with the chat without looking away from the camera, to avoid those awkward looking away moments during chat sessions. For YouTubers, the Elgato Prompter can help you follow the script while recording on-screen scenes to reduce re-recording, overdubbing, and editing time.
In the Elgato Camera Hub app you can manage the Prompter display and customize the appearance of the text. It is also compatible with stream deck, so you can control Prompter with the press of a key, turn of a dial or tap of your foot.
This Elgato Prompter is also presented as a solution for professionals. For example, they suggest using it in virtual presentations, and to break the ice on video calls. You can drag and drop the Zoom or Microsoft Teams app to the screen, located right in front of your camera. Participants can maintain eye contact in a professional manner.
The Prompter is compatible with any webcam, camera and smartphone, so it has more compatibility than other teleprompters on the market. Installation is easy thanks to interchangeable plates and a single-cable USB connection.
