Four teleprompter modes

Open Teleprompter plays the same script in four surfaces—rehearsal, recording, slide talks, and live:

Mode	Best for	One-liner
Board	Rehearsal, landscape, external display	Full-screen scroll, richest controls
Camera	Talking-head recording	Script over the camera preview
PPT	Present slides / posters and export	Wall + slides + circular face (prompt not in export)
Floating	Douyin / Kuaishou / Channels live	Script above other apps

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

PPT teleprompter is iOS-first in the current App build—see PPT teleprompter.

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 without slides;
Want to check framing with the overlay visible.

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

Use PPT when you…

Present PPT / posters and want a composed export;
Need wall + slides + circular face in the final video;
May change slides during the take.

The prompt overlay is for you only—not burned into the export. Import your own posters before recording. Guide: PPT teleprompter.

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

Write & section the script in Create scripts.
Rehearse on Board at constant speed.
Record: talking-head with Camera, or slides with PPT.
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, PPT, and Floating also limit visible lines or overlay placement so the script does not cover the face or slides—unlike Board’s full view.

Common mistakes

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