Customer Ratings & Reviews

Takes some setup; I personally had to troubleshoot my own setup a bit after installing everything. I use a Mac Mini M2 so I excited to give this a go to assist my business podcast. I think I can put it to good use. I put it between a set of dual monitors but settled with just above it.

This is a cool product with good potential, but there are several issues that are not just dealbreakers, but actually feel like a bit of an insult. The biggest issue is that, when using the prompter mode, my video repeatedly gets said to 1080p 30fps. This is pretty insulting given that it only comes with a faceplate for the Elgato Facecam Pro and not for the Elgato Facecam. Another big issue is the fact that I there is glare in my recordings whenever the prompter is on. People on Reddit have recommended putting depolarizing film between the camera and the reflector, and said that it works well. Elgato should probably do this from the factory. Also, the prompting software has a feature that scrolls automatically based on what line you're saying. That did not work for me, it would not recognize the words I was saying and scroll the text. Another issue; the prompter comes with no desk mount. This thing is 300 bucks, you should be able to include a desk mount. Lastly, this thing is just huge. That's not necessarily a problem, but it's a consideration since I had to put my monitor about 8 inches from the wall to fit this thing behind it.

I like this prompter, I really do. However, there are issues I have with its software. But first, the hardware and setup. It is bigger than I though, but perfectly acceptable. I am using a Facecam M.2 with this, so it is disappointing that Elgato does not include a backplate specific to their own camera, only the Facecam Pro (which is about $100 more). I like the braided cable that comes with it, although an option for USB-C connection to the computer would be nice. The 90 degree connection is great since it eliminates the strain on the cable. Setup was relatively simple. Now the issues, which are software based There is no way to turn off the prompter. Elgato is aware of this and has even shown screenshots of software with the ability to turn it off, but they have not released it yet. I found a workaround by disconnecting the display in Display Settings (Windows), but when I shutdown my monitors for the night (leaving my PC running, but monitors off), it automatically returns to being shown. Maybe this is partly a Windows issue. Another problem is the screen will become jittery on the prompter when typing a script in the software. It is annoying and should not be doing that, yet another software fix is needed. Right now, I have to unplug the prompter when I am shutting down for the night and leaving the PC powered on. I am going to work around the script issue by typing out in a different program and then pasting into the prompter software. Once the software issues are resolved it will be even better.

If you're a content creator who doesn't like either a) memorizing your lines or b) reading them off of something else then this is just the ticket! I've used for several projects already and I love it. Only downside is even for a small teleprompter it is still a bit bulky if your tight on space and my particular camera creates a reflection at the bottom of the screen but its low enough I can just crop it out so overall if I had 10 stars to work with I'd give it 9

This is actually a 4.5 star review (very good). The teleprompter works great, it's easy to ready and farily easy to use. The half-star discount is due to the fact that one must download software that is not self-explanatory, which resulted in a few hiccups on the set up stage.

I’m really impressed with this teleprompter. It’s easy to set up, easy to use, and makes recording videos much more comfortable. The text is clear and easy to follow while looking directly at the camera, so I don’t have to keep looking down at my notes. The build quality is also better than I expected, and everything feels solid and well made. It’s a great tool for presentations, YouTube videos, online meetings, and content creation. Overall, I’m very happy with it and would definitely recommend it.

Easy to set up and use. The built-in screen is super convenient, and it makes recording videos much easier without needing a separate device. Great quality and a really useful addition to my filming setup. Definitely recommend!

This is great little prompter. The screen is a tad small but it will get you by especially if you have a multi monitor setup. I have mine just over the top of my widescreen connected to a monitor pole. Mine works fine with a basic HD logitech webcam.

This made recording videos so much easier! Looking at people in the eye and not look like you've memorized lines saves so much time in postproduction! I wish I would have gotten one sooner. The default software works well enough for my use but it is a well designed device that is versatile that you can monitor the chat yourself and acts as a 2ndary or 3rd monitor to see how you look while you record.

It was relatively easy to set up the product. Once I plugged it in and downloaded the software, the teleprompter was working as expected. When I connected my FaceCam Pro to it, though, I noticed in the videos that it would see the reflection of the teleprompter light, which kind of negates the whole purpose of the prompter. It's a shame because the screen was showing text that was large enough, and the software was easy to use. I just don't think that this was made for the FaceCam Pro as described.

This teleprompter is awesome. It’s easy to set up, integrates smoothly into my workflow, and works perfectly as a secondary screen for reading scripts straight to the camera. There’s a sturdy platform behind the glass to mount your camera, so you’re recorded head‑on with natural eye contact. I tested multiple cameras—my iPhone, GoPro, and even my Insta360 Link webcam—and they all worked great. The build quality feels excellent all around, and if you’re a creator or anyone who needs on‑screen guidance while speaking, this is an excellent purchase. You can also control the speed of your script by adjusting the scrolling pace, so you never have to worry about the text moving too fast or too slow. It’s very manageable and feels intuitive, even if you’re new to teleprompters.

This has been a great addition to my setup. It makes it much easier to maintain eye contact during video calls and recordings, and the built-in screen is clear and easy to read. Setup was straightforward, and it works well without taking up too much space. Overall, I am very happy with it and would definitely recommend it.

This teleprompter has been extremely helpful to me during conference calls. I can keep my notes on the screen while maintaining eye contact with the camera. I’ve used it with all kinds of cameras too from my mirrorless camera to my phone to my camera to multiple webcams. It works really well with any type of USB camera and even wirelessly with my phone. It’s a great way to look and sound professional in meetings and when making content for social media.

The Elgato Prompter is a top-tier tool that offers tremendous value for content creators looking to improve their video production quality. Its ease of use, versatility, and high-quality display make it an indispensable addition to any setup. If you’re serious about delivering polished, professional content, the Elgato Prompter is a worthy investment that will elevate your on-camera performance to the next level.

Works amazingly. I am using it with Elgato Facecam Pro 4K 60 FPS. Really helped when streaming, meeting and when not using the camera feature i use it as a third monitor for spotify and discord. IF you need one this is a great option with alot of camera options as well.

Love it’s compatibility with just about every camera, making it perfect for my webcam. Works great with my stream deck for scrolling and toggling windows. Would absolutely get another if ever needed

An excellent device. Takes presentations to the next level with ease of use.

The text flows as you speak vs a random speed. That's always been my issue as I can never get the right speed. The voice recognitions software knows what words I've already said keeping the right text on the screen vs getting behind or trying read slower.

Good unit. Easy to use works great. Easy to see.

Friggin awesome. Coupled with the Stream Deck Pedal, Stream Deck software and plugins, this is a must-have if you make presentations or create video content
