How to Use the Web Teleprompter
The Web-Based Teleprompter displays your script in a clean, large font on your monitor. Control scroll speed with keyboard or remote. Position monitor below your camera lens so you appear to look directly at the lens while reading.
Teleprompter Positioning
Place your monitor directly below your camera, as close as possible. Your eyes should travel a minimal distance between script and camera. The closer the monitor to the lens, the more you appear to make direct eye contact with viewers.
Optimal Settings
- Font Size: Use 36-48pt font. If you have to squint, it's too small.
- Line Length: 60-70 characters per line prevents your eyes from darting across the screen.
- Scroll Speed: Slow and steady. Practice to sync with your natural speaking pace.
- Brightness: Dim your monitor to reduce eye strain. Use black background, white text.
Tips for Natural Delivery
Don't stare motionless at the script. Vary your gaze, look at different heights and widths on the screen to simulate natural eye movement. Pause occasionally, look away from the camera, blink naturally. Practice before recording so you're not dependent on the script.

Q: Should I memorize or always use a prompter?
