Hope you like this quick tutorial! Let me know if you try it out yourself 👍
Hi Alex! Hope you are well! I am having trouble with this as it seems to cut off the text at specific characters and so you can't even finish reading a text that would take 2-4 min to read out loud which is a bit of a problem. Making the font smaller does extend how many words you can read however it's so small you either wont be able to see it well or your audience will be able to tell that you are reading as your eyes will be moving from side to side. Any advice?
Which Teleprompter you use? Thanks for help
Great content Alex. Its already been a huge help in setting up my system. Can one share a screen to the input? I.e. I want to broadcast not just from cameras, but also from other sources such as a Zoom window. Or have I bought the wrong hardware for doing that?
Thank you for not rushing. Your explanation was at a much better pace than many other presenters.
Love the tutorial.. Straight to the point. 15 min long. No excessive babling. You definitely 👍 got a thumbs up and a subscribe from me. Keep up the great work
Wow, I've been looking up different tools and software to do this easily and cheaply. Almost pulled the trigger on a 4k Decimator that can flip/mirror hdmi sources. Thanks for an awesome video!
This works great!
Excellent work. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks to you, you've Made my Videos and remembering what i have to say SO MUCH easier. so thank you!
You nailed it again Alex! Great quick tutorial. I have personally been thinking in setting up a Teleprompter.
Thanks so much Eddy! Glad you found it useful :) Let me know how your Teleprompter setup goes if you end up trying this out!
Great tips Alex!
I bought the Glide Gear TMP 100 a few months back and which I had this version instead as it makes it possible to use a 13” monitor. With the Glide Gear the only real options for a larger monitor is the Lilliput A11 which is more expensive.
Great content Alex. Its already been a huge help in setting up my system. Can one share a screen to the input? I.e. I want to broadcast not just from cameras, but also from other sources such as a Zoom window. Or have I bought the wrong hardware for doing that?
Really thanks for this video !!
Greeting from South Australia. Thanks for the video, Alex. I will try that with my setup. I appreciate the effort you put into all your videos. Have a nice day.
Great and timely video. I've been struggling with trying to get our Zoom calls to look natural via the teleprompter and you solved it for me in a simple and inexpensive way. I don't know why I didn't think to use OBS. Way to go!
Really glad you found this video helpful :) Let me if you try it out and how it works for you 👍
I’ve been struggling with a teleprompter. OBS also blew my mind. Thanks a lot
Really good idea 💡. Thanks for sharing 👋
You’re welcome 😊
Absolute aces. This will make my classrooms morning announcements MUCH easier for my 5th and 6th graders to read. Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you!
This is a good idea. I've seen a few DIY teleprompters which basically come back to lack of software you can build it is ghetto as you want but you still have to have Software and there's some free ones out there it's nice to know that going the opposite way OBS does work in a pinch or also.
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much much much!
Bought and purchased through your affiliate link. Thanks for this content. :)
great video thankyou
thank you for generous tutorial on obs teleprompter kind of DIY setup. I will try it for myself.
Thanks, I hope it works out well for you :) Let me know how it goes 👍
Excellent suggestion on the use of OBS as a teleprompter...been looking for a solution like this for a while now 🙂
Thank you.
Thank you!
Thank you very much. I do counseling online on zoom and sometimes have to speak long scripts to clients while keeping eye contact with them all the time. Biggest problem was reading the script and keeping eye contact as well without referring to the script>Thank you for this information
Thanks!
Fantastic!!! This is exactly what I have been looking for thank you. Could I run a powerpoint program on the prompter monitor?
Hi Alex, this is a great video. How about if I already have an iPad Air ? Can I flip the screen in OBS using using SIDECAR built in Mac OS ?
Amazing that is easy.
This tutorial saved me loads of money !!! THANK YOU
My pleasure, Glad it helped!
@@AlexPettitt Another question: any chance to do a LIVE interview with you on my RUclips channel one day?
Thank you! i will do to watch the monitor into a telempromter for deaf talk the ASL.
thanks
Fabulous!! Elgato Stream Deck version would be nice
I performe a show using multiple scenes with obs... For that I use two monitors, the laptop is showing obs and second monitor use zoom call... How can I do with this setup? I just don't know how to flip my second screen
great tutorial but instead of flipping just the OBS projection, you can flip the entire monitor in the settings
Hello, Wow, Congratulations. Cool. 👍👏👏👏 I am impressed.
can you stream and use the teleprompter at the same time if you have 2 or 3 monitors from obs ?
Before I download OBS Studio latest version, please: when scrolling text, is there an easy way to stop the scrolling and restart as easily? This will allow me to ad lib and rejoin whenever the spirit hits. Thank you in advance.
Is there a way to use this feature while simultaneously using OBS to record the output of my camera? Right now it seems if it is part of the scene, it records the screen too. But if I move it to another scene, the teleprompter view is not visible, until I switch back to that scene. Looking to have a hybrid, where scene 2 shows on monitor 2 (teleprompter), but obs records only sources from scene 1.
What portable monitor are you using in this video? I like the idea of having one cable USB-C to charge monitor and display data, im looking to set up this monitor strictly for telepromter use and don't really need it to connect to my canon camera. If you have an affiliate link to the exact monitor you used in this video I would like to purchase!
hello pal, I have a TP-iLight Pro Teleprompter 12 inch screen glass, I want to mount either a camera or a camcorder to the Teleprompter, What size screw do I use to attach the equipment to the plate of the teleprompter. Thank you .
Thanks for this great post.
Just to clarify are you using a monitor or an iPad?
And you need that angled glass screen thingy in front of your camera?
Yes and yes :)
What mount are you using?
I mean let’s be clear though, the software and screen isn’t thousands, it’s the actual teleprompter glass and assembly. Very rarely now are people paying for a specifically expensive screen beyond an ultrabright for outdoor use.
You are the one who understood this video is a joke. He is using a real teleprompter set up.
I was thinking that I could write javascript code to do exactly that in one or two hours tops, and put that anywhere online for free. Now any tablet could do the trick right?
I can't find the information on the glass and camera setup. Is it a separate video?
Hey John, its on my setup page here: kit.co/alexpettitt/my-camera-setup
Hope this helps :)
Hi Alex, Thanks for such a great tutorial. I`m using a PC Laptop with OBS installed. Can you tell me is it possible to control the teleprompter using a remote control. I have a specific reason for asking this question as I will have a presenter who will want to control the teleprompter from a distance. (ie) to be able to go back to the start at the flick of a button.
Hi Alex, Just wondering how often you monitor this Site.!
you have the best channel on youtube
Hahah thanks brother! You know your my go to channel for everything NBA!
We need to catch up soon too :)
Great video, what size of teleprompter and monitor are you using?
Thanks Luca, I use a 13.3 inch portable monitor for my setup… but realistically with this method you can use any size :) Hope this helps
Just wondering how big you can go. I also have a 16” teleprompter and in my home studio I’m using a decommissioned MS surface with camlink that takes one of the atem hdmi out. But 12,3 inches is a little small. In the main studio we have 3 cameras and I’d like to have a synchronized script. So I just got an HDMI splitter and using 15,6 inch monitors. When the lockdown will be over will try to install them and see if they are too big.
@@lucapiu I personally wouldn’t go too big, because then you’ll start to notice people reading more as the eyes travel further across a larger screen. It might look okay if the camera is further back… but you’ll have to play around :) Good luck! Your setup sound cool!
Hey Alex, i look for a tool that make LIVE subtitel maybe with OBS from English to German language. Open / Close captioning. Automaticly. Do you have a idea?
@Alex Pettit - If the text is too long, the complete text disappears when the scrolling filter is active. With that behavior you need to have short texts. Do you have a solution/workaround how I can have longer text? I think the behavior/bug has something to do with how OBS handles the text with the scrolling filter function on. Maybe there is a pixel-limit for the height of the text-object? I found out that the smaller the font-size, the more text I can put in that textfield, but you can't read it well any more. The larger the font-size, the better you can read the text but as every letter is so much bigger, you can put even lesser text into that textfield.
Sadly, it seems the limit prevents this solution from being usable. Nice idea, though.
Do you find that the 300 nits brightness on that monitor is enough, or do you struggle with competing with the lighting in your room?
What monitor are you using ?
Found the problem I do not have Word Wrap on my OBS which is the absolute lateset version/ It says Use custom text extents. Click that box and it is called just wrap. Which is not what is does. It shrinks the area to 100 x 1oo and show 1 white line. the text is gone. If I enlarge the area it is still 1 white line.
So rich man bro what a lighting i wish i can get that light 🥺🥺
All this time I thought you where peering into our souls. LoL...impressive.
Alex, I have tried with OBS, but I can't STOP scrolling - is there a way to stop moving text?
Great Hack! 😇What monitor do you use?
I use a 13.3 inch portable monitor. Find it here: go.alex.live/telemonitor
@@AlexPettitt thanks 🙏 bro I was going use a 7inch old field monitor but wanted something bigger. Great videos and keep adding value to our content creator lives!
this sounds interesting
Cheers Jeremy, let me know if you give it a try :)
seems hard to edit the text between takes and also you need a pause button to allow you to take breath, so this seems like it would not actually work in a practical manner?
is there any reason that when I apply the scroll filter my text disappear?
Have the same problem. Has to do with font-size in combination with text-length. If the text is too long, the text disappears. Sometimes, if you disable the Scrolling Filter, the text reappears. So check your textlength.
Could you please update this video? You're supplying great information, but OBS has changed, and I can't get the font to fit my screen.
I just finished my 24" Teleprompter bulid.
well as soon as I add the filter the text disappears. Any advise ?
Text too long? If the text is too long and the scrolling filter is active, the complete text disappears. With this behavior, you can teleprompt only short texts or you need to have a smaller font size...
Well done!
Amazing content!

Does the teleprompter need to have hdmi in and out to use it on OBS?
The monitor only needs HDMI in as it's getting an output feed from OBS. Hope this helps
@@AlexPettitt yes! Thanks Alex
The problem using monitor as a prompter, it will be very obvious that you read when you watch your recording. That's why it's not like a real prompter but you can use this method for voiceovers.
Did you even watch the video?
@@svenlakemeier eye alignment is my bad, I was busy while watching the video should have missed that part.
BUT in the title he says "turn any monitor into teleprompter with OBS" but you already have a teleprompter device. He only using OBS as a teleprompter APP. The title is misleading and it sounds like DIY Teleprompter video. It's good to know this tricks with the OBS but it's tricky and I couldn't see benefit because most of people doesn't look me in the eye on zoom calls and trying to look them in the eye makes no sense.
This is great, but does not work under windows 10 :(
Brill. I guess I could use an iPad as the monitor?
Technically using Mac Sidecar yes you can use the iPad :)
y not just to use a sceen ?
You turned a monitor into a monitor .. awesome.
Unfortunately this doesn't help me at all since I want to record with OBS and still use a teleprompter :(
Looks like you and I had similar ideas this past week! Instead of OBS I thought I could flash the Google Play store onto an Amazon Kindle Fire tablet so I can install apps that auto-follow as you speak. Turns out it worked perfectly (ruclips.net/video/w70qo8g8Ruc/видео.html) but I'll have to keep the OBS trick in my back pocket for a rainy day.
There is a simple app which do the work for you i will make a video about it, its simple and free
Figured you would talk abit about the hardware needed to do it.
OK, I get the cleverness of this, but I don't see the benefit. If you use a camera monitor with an inexpensive teleprompter, you get all the benefits and none of the complexity.
"If you go cheap in the short term, it will cost you in the long run, dear"
Great lesson but I have a question. Why bother with the extra stuff aside from the display. You could just stand the dispaly up and do the exat same thing with no mirrors of spending any extra cash.
This seems liek your telling me to go spend money on the mirror thing when I do nto need to. What is the + to not using only the monitor. Lets say I have a 22 inch monitor, it is larger than the mirror stand and I can do the exact same thing. Why would or should I bother to spend that extra money for a teleprompter when just a single monitor will do the exact same things. Theses are the things I wish to know.
Do you even know what a teleprompter is? The whole reason is to look directly at the camera. In which you wouldn't be able to if you're reading a screen above, below, or to either side. The glass/ plexiglass is used to reflect an image(text) without blocking the cameras view.
There are great free open source software out there like Imaginary Teleprompter.
I seriously was wondering why this guy didnt use Imaginary Teleprompter first instead of showing this obs dirty hack
Who else likes Alex' Red Bull cooler? Max Verstappen won!!!!!!
I have never heard someone call it "right hand click".
You're supposed to just say "right click".
You can use a second Monitor and put the camera above
Then you wouldn't have proper engagement with the viewers.
“Imaginary Teleprompter” software, no? Why bother with OBS that is not suited for long strips of prompter text, while there is a tailored and no less free software around for years?
Well that was kinda bullshit: "you only need stuff for 1000£+ and then you can use any cheap monitor to get obs to scroll text for you".
I don't think the monitor and getting the scrolling text to work are the part people need help with....
If you have the equipment and this taught you something, you really should change profession/hobby.
My teleprompter was $120 and the 10" monitor was $60
0:22 telepromter???? Missing P
But you are actualy using an expensive teleprompter setup...🤣
I don’t get it. Why all the extra hardware and stuff. I get having a teleprompter, but why mirror it and have it reflected? The monitor is behind the camera so no one is going to see it. Why not just have the text scrolling on a monitor without the extra accoutrements?
Seems like this is a lot of unnecessary work.
There's really no need to use OBS for this there is tons of free software to just run on windows laptop and help put it to your display
This is useless video with a completely misleading title. Why would I want to have to both buy a telepromter and "turn my monitor" into one at the same time? Nah bro, you were just flexing that you have a teleprompter and the rest of us noobs don't lol
