Revolutionizes Video Production with Elgato All-in-One Prompter

Elgato, a brand under CORSAIR (NASDAQ: CRSR), has introduced the Elgato Prompter, a compact teleprompter designed to democratize professional video production. By attaching to a camera or webcam, the Prompter facilitates genuine, natural eye contact between creators and their audience.

Its functionality, driven by a computer and supported by Elgato’s free Camera Hub software, enables the display of video scripts or streaming chat. Notably, the Prompter can mirror various windows or applications, such as Zoom meetings, through a simple drag-and-drop process. What sets it apart is its built-in 9” screen, eliminating the need for an extra tablet or smartphone. With unparalleled compatibility and Stream Deck support, Elgato’s latest hardware is revolutionizing online communication.

For the first time, teleprompting becomes accessible to creators across various domains, fostering improved content creation and stronger communities. Twitch streamers can now engage with their audience while maintaining eye contact with the camera, enhancing the live interaction experience. Simultaneously, YouTubers benefit from staying on script during recordings, leading to fewer reshoots and less time spent on editing.

Customization options are abundant through Elgato’s free Camera Hub software, allowing creators to manage Prompter’s display and personalize text appearance. Moreover, a Stream Deck plugin offers additional control options, enabling users to operate the Prompter with a key press, dial turn, or foot tap.

Jeff Stegner, Product Manager at Elgato, remarked, “We built Prompter to be the true all-in-one solution for content creators. For years, consumer teleprompters offered only half the equation, requiring an additional smartphone or tablet. Meanwhile, studio devices with a built-in display were too expensive for most creators. Prompter is the best of both worlds.”

Professionals also stand to benefit significantly from Prompter. Beyond its utility for virtual presentations, it serves as a valuable tool for breaking the ice during video calls. Users can easily move their Zoom or Microsoft Teams app onto Prompter’s screen, aligning it directly in front of their camera.

This adjustment ensures professional eye contact at eye level, enhancing face-to-face interactions. Additionally, professionals working during important events need not miss out; they can drag a browser window onto Prompter’s screen to catch every detail without sacrificing monitor space.

Thankfully, Prompter is likely compatible with the cameras already in use by creators and professionals at home or in the office. Its compatibility extends to a broader range of webcams, cameras, and smartphones than any other teleprompter.

The setup is straightforward, thanks to interchangeable backplates and a single-cable USB connection. While Prompter performs well on its own, it achieves optimal functionality when paired with other Elgato products, such as the world’s first 4K60 webcam, Facecam Pro.
