Elgato launched Virtual Prompter, a new free feature in Elgato Studio that turns computer screens into teleprompters without requiring special hardware. The app is available for Mac and Windows, requiring macOS 15 Sequoia or later. Two usage modes are available: docked and floating.
Docked places the script in a strip along the top of the screen near the camera, which is free to use with no time limits. Floating mode requires Virtual Prompter Pro and allows users to move, resize, or use the script in full screen on another display. Both modes offer script-scrolling options, including setting a fixed speed or using Voice Sync, which listens through the microphone and follows the user's voice as they read.
Users can write scripts in Elgato Studio, paste text from other sources, or import Word, Markdown, and plain text files. For streamers, a chat mode displays Twitch, YouTube, or Kick chat in the same screen area. Virtual Proctor Pro costs $2.99 per month or $29.90 per year, with a lifetime license available for $49.99.
Elgato Prompter and Prompter XL hardware owners receive free use while their hardware is connected. Voice Sync enhances presentations, recordings, and video calls by maintaining eye contact during reading.
