Teleprompters are powerful tools that display scrolling text on-screen that only you can see. They enhance your public speaking and narration skills.

Some notable features are:

  • Support for up to 2,000 characters per teleprompter
  • Maximum of 20 teleprompters
  • Teleprompters are only seen by you, not by the stream/recording
  • If you have co-hosts, they may also choose to include their teleprompter simultaneously

Ready to get started? In this guide, we’ll teach you how to make the most of this feature from start to finish.

Once your teleprompter has been displayed on your camera feed, you will notice a few controls shown on-screen:

Hide / Show - Hide or show your teleprompter on-screen.
