For Elgato Prompter owners · Works with every hood rig
The Elgato Prompter is a beautiful piece of hardware — we keep one on our own desks. Its display is a second screen, which means it can run more than the bundled app: point it at CameraPrompter and your scripts, voice scroll, and camera overlay come with it.
Free forever No credit card No watermarks
The Elgato Prompter shows up in your OS as an extra monitor. That’s the whole trick - anything can appear behind the beam-splitter, including a browser.
Open cameraprompter.app, drag the window to the Prompter’s display, and go full-screen. Your script now scrolls in front of the lens.
Adjust speed and position from the desk, use keyboard shortcuts mid-take, or turn on voice scroll and let your delivery drive the pace.
Elgato’s own Camera Hub prompter works, and it’s free with the hardware. What it ties you to is that machine: scripts live locally, and the prompter exists only where Camera Hub is installed.
CameraPrompter treats the rig as one of your screens, not the center of the system. Scripts sync in the cloud — draft on your phone on the train, and the words are waiting in the hood when you sit down. Voice-activated scrolling follows your read instead of a dial. And when you travel without the rig, the exact same prompter runs on your phone or laptop.
It’s not Elgato-exclusive, either: Prompter People, Glide Gear, Ikan, Neewer, Padcaster, Desview — if the hood or beam-splitter can show a browser or mirror a screen, it runs CameraPrompter.
Scripts follow your account to the studio, the kitchen table, and the hotel room.
The script follows your voice through the beam-splitter. Pause, ad-lib - it waits for you. (Pro)
Full-screen prompter view built for hood use, controlled from your main monitor.
Rehearse with your own feed behind the words before you commit the take to the rig.
Cameras your computer can see - including capture cards - record right in the tab. (Pro)
Free forever plan; Pro is $12.99 a year. The rig cost enough already.
Yes. The Elgato Prompter presents itself to your computer as an extra display, so you drag a CameraPrompter window onto it and go full-screen. Everything - scripts, speed, voice scroll - is controlled from your main screen.
No. Camera Hub keeps managing your camera settings; CameraPrompter simply runs on the Prompter’s display as the prompter software. Use whichever combination fits your workflow.
Cloud-synced scripts you can edit from any device, voice-activated scrolling that follows your delivery, and the same prompter working without the rig - on a phone, tablet, or laptop - when you film away from the desk.
Yes - any hood, beam-splitter, or prompter monitor that can display a browser window or mirror a screen: Prompter People, Ikan, Glide Gear, Parrot, Desview, Neewer, Feelworld, Padcaster, Autocue, and the rest.
