The teleprompter is the most useful tool for a television and radio presenting team, as it allows them to read the script and other announcements from the production team. There have been many applications for YouTubers and streamers, but not a solution designed for a more consumer-oriented approach. Elgato has recognized the growing need for a consumer teleprompter and has therefore announced its first.
The Elgato Prompter is a compact teleprompter that puts professional video production within everyone's reach . It can be attached to a camera or webcam, allowing you to maintain eye contact with your audience. It operates via a computer and can display video scripts or live chat using Elgato's free Camera Hub software.

You can drag windows and apps to Prompter to play that content. There's no need for an additional phone or tablet, as its 9-inch screen is already integrated . Twitch streamers can interact with the chat without taking their eyes off the camera, avoiding those awkward moments when you look away during conversations. For YouTubers, the Elgato Prompter can help them follow the script while recording scenes where they appear on screen, thus reducing reshoots, dubbing, and editing time.
The Elgato Camera Hub app allows you to manage the Prompter display and customize the text appearance. It's also compatible with Stream Deck , enabling you to control the Prompter with a single keystroke, dial turn, or foot tap.
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.
