Three teleprompter modes

Open Teleprompter plays the same script in three surfaces—rehearsal, recording, and live:

All three share the draft and TOC, and support constant speed & AI Follow. Switching modes does not require copying the script.

How to choose

Use Board when you…

• Rehearse pacing and pauses;
• Need large landscape type or a second screen;
• Want full TOC, mirror, and guide-line controls (Prompt settings).

Board is for “read without facing the lens.” For selfie videos, switch to Camera.

Use Camera when you…

• Need eye-line toward the lens while reading;
• Shoot short-form talk tracks or explainers;
• Want to check framing with the overlay visible.

Keep type size from covering the face; rehearse at constant speed before the final take.

Use Floating when you…

• Must stay inside the live app;
• Need the script always on top while chatting or selling;
• Go live on phone or desktop and still glance at the next line.

Floating needs the system overlay permission—see Go live with floating prompt.

Suggested workflow

1. Write & section the script in Create scripts.
2. Rehearse on Board at constant speed.
3. Record with Camera (constant speed or AI Follow).
4. Go live with Floating, with opening and CTA sections marked.

Shared controls

Common knobs (exact list depends on the App): type size, line spacing, scroll speed, mirror, reading guide, light/dark.
Camera and Floating also limit visible lines so the script does not cover the face or product—unlike Board’s full view.

Common mistakes

• Thinking you must duplicate the script per mode;
• Using Camera during a real live session (use Floating);
• Oversized type blocking the face or SKU;
• Blaming the mode when Follow drifts—check mic, network, and noise first (FAQ).
