Elgato’s new teleprompter app follows your voice & doesn’t need special hardware
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Elgato announced Virtual Prompter, a software feature in Studio 2.0 that turns a computer screen into a teleprompter without external hardware. The tool offers free docked mode, placing the script above the webcam for eye contact, and a paid floating mode that can be moved, resized, or full‑screened on a second display. Both modes support fixed‑speed scrolling or Voice Sync, which listens to the microphone and scrolls as the user speaks. Users can write directly in Studio, paste text, or import Word, Markdown, and plain‑text files. A chat overlay is available for Twitch, YouTube, or Kick streams. Virtual Prompter Pro costs $2.99/month or $29.90/year, with a $49.99 lifetime option; existing Prompter and Prompter XL owners receive free use while connected. The feature runs on Windows and macOS 15 Sequoia or later.
