Another couple of reasons the Elgato Prompter will power on a Mac when connected / on boot but not output anything can be caused by: Screen Sharing and Screen Mirroring. If Screen Sharing is on, it can prevent the software from detecting the Elgato Prompter, so go into System Preferences > Sharing and disable Additionally, if you have Screen Mirroring on and the prompter is mirroring your primary display, if the resolution is too high the prompter will just stay off. Hope this helps prevent frantic troubleshooting before a call!
If your prompter goes blank after showing the Elgato logo, try this: In the DisplayLink Manager dropdown, turn on the toggle in the "Display Rotation and Toggle: Elgato Prom." line. This way, you don't need to restart your computer - it comes to life at the flip of a switch. (If this doesn't work, double-check that DisplayLink Manager is enabled in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen Recording. Try toggling it off and on, or add it yourself with the + button if it's not shown there.) Hope this helps you!
This component looks like a genuine value add for those who do a lot of video work beit conferences, video content, or both. Thank you for bringing this to everyone's attention.
The white screen google docs issue can be solved by making the google doc a dark gray and the text a contrasting color like a light blue. ive done this because i has the same issue with ghosting from my big monitor when i had my notes up. 👍 im sure it will be the same with the elgato and then you can potentially up the brightness of the teleprompter
Hmm…I’m going to have to consider this. 🤔 It is so hard for me to deliver the content of my videos sometimes…I don’t want to forget anything, and I often like the way I worded it in the blog post. But it takes like 10 retakes per clip sometimes to get it done. 🤦🏻♀️
You’ll want to change the prompter from “teleprompter” mode into “display” mode using the elgato camera hub software. This will let you use it as a second display
Nooooooooo!!!!!! Omar and Nolan are gone!!!!!!!😩😩😩😩😩😩😩. Ngl, those two were responsible for me having the courage to start my RUclips channel. From starter setups, to the Sony ZV-e10. Dam man.
I don't believe I saw this covered in the video, but can this be used as a stand-alone with an iPad? Or must it be connected to a computer? I ask because where I shoot my talking head videos, my computer isn't in that room. Thank you!
hi Craig awesome content as per usual! ! I'm actually torn right now between getting a glide gear teleprompter to use with 10.2" iPad or alternatively the Elgato prompter with my MacBook Air for talking head language education type content. Which setup would you choose for that sort of thing? Many thanks!
Hey there! What I said was "this is my favorite piece of tech I have used in the last two years". About 2.5 years ago the Sony FX3 came out, and that would have been my favorite piece of tech... until this! This now takes the top spot of anything that has been released over the last two years. Hopefully that makes sense?
This is for people who doesn't need glasses haha, because trying to avoid light reflection or not wearing glasses and not being able to read ... 🤣 This is a good prompter though, even if cheaper ones are available
It might not be as bad as you think, because you would ordinarily need to be in front of a computer screen for a zoom call in the first place, and this is only a 9 inch monitor! I should have tested it with some blue light glasses though, good thought!

Same and that’s why I’m here lol
I absolutely need this thing for zoom/web conferencing! 😮 Game changer fr
100%
When you are using the prompter for Zoom, are you using a seperate webcam/camera? If yes, which one are you using? Thanks
This looks like a great prompter.
Its amazing to be able to see your screen at the same time as making eye contact with your viewers x
It really is such a helpful tool!
What about a teleprompter to use on the go? Like when I wanna pre written content at a specific location?
Great vid, trying to use prompter for zoom calls but can’t drag things onto the prompter as an extended monitor. How can I fix this ?

great demo but what if I want to use my webcam or my phone instead of buying a new camera for now?
I’m still trying to adjust to Nolan not doing this, but great video ❤
🙏🏼💛
So you fired both of the old guys
The wrong focus to have.
This is a learning space. 🤓
We must admit that - This is weird???
Omar & Nolan have started their own ventures and we wish them the very best!
you can find their own channels @omareltakrori and @nolanmolt
Nooooooooo!!!!!! Omar and Nolan are gone!!!!!!!😩😩😩😩😩😩😩. Ngl, those two were responsible for me having the courage to start my RUclips channel. From starter setups, to the Sony ZV-e10. Dam man.
Please give me your layout for using Prompter with OBS to bring in Zoom calls. I'm confused about how to connect the Zoom through OBS.
That teleprompter is pretty dang cool!
hi, thanks for the informative video. I have this teleprompter but it doesn't work for me. I have restarted my Macbook several times but no success

Thank you!
Can you easily use the step-up rings for vertical mode as well? (I have one of those photo tripods that you can tilt the whole camera on an angle).
Can you make a video on why it's not working with the Sigma 16mm 1.4 + Sony ZV e10?
Cool gadget, love this review. Thanks for being so thorough!
Does this teleprompter work on a Sony ZV-e10?

Either option should work okay for you! I personally would go for the Elgato promoter because you don’t need an extra iPad for anything!
@@ThinkMediaTV Awesome, thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated!
Thank you for this review
My pleasure!
Bring back the old guys
i literally cannot live without mine. such a good investment.
Totally agree!
Do you have to use a camera or can you also use a iPhone?
This is a late reply, but you can use phone.
That's sweet! That is like what we use on set❤
Love it!
I just got it and set it up today so excited
I dream of having a teleprompter like this one day! :)
Can anyone tell me which app I can use with this ? I bought Elgato prompter I downloaded the software but any one knows any app for it ?
Nice video, what camera are you using?
Kraig is mostly using the Sony FX3 & FX30 for his content!
Yep! FX3/FX30 mostly :) sometimes the ZV-E10 or A7IV!
Thanks guys 😊
@@kraigpruettwhat kind of lens?
Very good video. I hope content creators who read this comment will find success in 2024🎉
I really hope to be successful 🙏
Fighting!
Great review Kraig! I need to get one ASAP!
Yes you do!!
@@kraigpruett Kraig, I love the lighting and in your room. Do you have a guide or some info on how to set that up? 4:50
So if if came out 2023 and we are 2024 how come you say you been using for 2 years

Kon kon RUclipsr banna chahta hain
Thunderbolt 3 cable fixes the Mac connectivity issue.
Awesome thanks for sharing!
Great ❤❤
larger monitor, and you don't get so much eye contact.
