Teleprompter for streamers
Notes on demand, without breaking eye contact.
Live streaming is mostly improvised, and that is the point — but the parts that aren't improvised are usually the parts that pay. Sponsor reads, campaign call-outs and the segment structure you promised your audience all benefit from being written down where you can see them.
The challenge is that a stream has no retakes. What you need is not a script to read start to finish but a set of prompts you can drop into at the right moment, which is exactly what saved scripts and a pause-anywhere scroll are for.
Why streamers use it
- Open it on a second screen during your live broadcast.
- Save sponsor reads and calls to action for quick recall.
- Keep pacing natural even during long sessions.
- Pause and resume instantly when chat pulls you off-script.
Recommended settings
A stream prompter is glanced at, not read continuously — favour large text you can catch in half a second.
- Scroll speed
- Leave it paused by default and press Space at a scripted beat; 110–130 wpm when it runs.
- Font size
- 64 px and up. You're reading from across a desk, at a glance, while doing something else.
- Display
- White or yellow on black so a bright prompter window doesn't wash out your face on camera.
Fit it to your stream
Dock the prompter on a secondary monitor near your camera, sized so you can read it peripherally without turning your head. Keep it paused by default and press Space when you reach a sponsor read. Use the light theme in a bright room and the dark theme at night — a glowing white window off-camera will show up in your face lighting. Save each recurring segment as its own script so you can load one in a couple of seconds between scenes.
