Appreciation DESERVED!!! after watching so many other videos ...either they rushed so fast without explaining or left out important details .... the MY (up-to-date) software did NOT duplicate what they demoed. It was only until i watched your slow, deliberated, guidance was I able to get through this in minutes where I had previously spent hours in an unsuccessful setup. MUCH THANKS ! (I agree with a previous poster ... Elgato's info was worthless too! ... and yes! the prompter software definately has issues which still contributes to the problems.)
I really appreciate your kind words regarding my video. It makes creating these tutorials and helping people out like yourself worthwhile when I get comments like this. Many thanks again and appreciate the support.
Yes -- please share more about what a podcaster would do to optimize the Elgato streamdeck, camera, and teleprompter! :) And maybe keylights if that's a thing to do! ;)
Dude...just got the Elgato Prompter a few days ago and had a heck'uva time getting it to work. This and your other video about the Hub update held a TON! Really appreciate you sharing. Thanks!
Great video; just set up my Prompter (new, 2024) with my Streamdeck (old, 2017) and it all works great! This will save me so much time and I'll get things done with fewer takes.
Bien qu'ayant eu recours à la traduction automatique (je suis nul en anglais), j'ai beaucoup apprécié vos excellentes explicatios sur les deux appareils, d'autant qu'à ma connaissance personne d'autre n'a su le faire si bien sur TH-cam. Un grand merci de Paris.
Neil, got my Prompter today and your video was really helpful. I downloaded the Beta version of Camera Hub having watched your previous video and everything works perfectly. The Prompter is everything that I hoped it would be (and more!). I already have a Stream Deck XL and pedal but I know that I’m going to have to get the Stream Deck plus!
Super helpful, thanks! I'm using it with the free version of the Stream Deck mobile app. I hear (and hoping it's true) that Elgato is working on voice controls for auto-advancing the script inside the prompter. That will be amazing if / when they release it.
@NatGreenOnline They are working on voice control. You can grab the beta and I created a video here. th-cam.com/video/A1Mv3wPLuVE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5YbC2XwnPZbV1PK0
Hi Neil, your videos are always informative and helpful, but no one has made on about my problem. I need help with a big problem. I have the Elgato Prompter, Facecam Pro4K60fps, the Elgato Streamdeck plus and I cannot find a way to be able to read from the prompter or even access it from either Zoom or StreamYard. I have the Wavelink software and the camera hub installed, but nothing helps and I cannot find any TH-cam videos that tell me how to put this all together and make it work. Thanks in advance.
Many thanks for your kind words. Can you detail a little bit more about what you exactly want to do with the prompter and specifically with the interaction regarding Zoom and stream yard. The Elgato prompter when connected to your machine simply act as a secondary display, only when you need to use it as a teleprompter either using text on the screen using the Elgato camera hub or another third-party prompter is when you can use it in the teleprompter mode. If you are having problems that you can’t resolve, I’d be happy to get on a 30 minute call over zoom with you to take a look to see if I can help. I have a link on my TH-cam site for you to book a zoom call with me using the links provided.
@@NeilFarrimond Hi Neil, thank you for taking the time to respond. My setup is as follows: The Elgato Prompter, their new Facecam Pro, which is 4K 60 frames per second, I have both a Black Editon Blue Yeti and a set of headphones. I also have the Elgato camera hub software, the Stream Deck plus (the one with the knobs) and I also have Elgato's WaveLink software. I have some text on the Prompter that I want to read as I'm making a video with either StreamYard or Zoom and I was not able to access anything on the Prompter from either software. I hope this makes more sense. Thanks in advance.
@@lennythelawyer-live8559 hi it does, and I think you need to have the camera hub software configured. Do you want to have a call next week to go through the setup? Link here: calendly.com/neilfarrimond/video-creator-consulting-session
What a great demo! Many thanks! Would you recommend stream deck or the foot pedal for talking head education style content? I can only afford one at the moment. Cheers!
Many thanks for the kind comment. I think the Elgato Stream Deck Neo is a good option: www.elgato.com/us/en/p/stream-deck-neo also you can download the stream deck app for free for your iPad or iPhone that will give you a virtual 6 key stream deck. If you need more keys you pay a subscription.
9:00 so you're saying those rotary knobs are also push buttons? You can push the rotary knob to start playback, and then rotate the rotary knob to move the script forward and backward? That was a little confusing since we can't see what you're actually doing with the physical buttons.
Yes you can use them as rotary, push or a combination of both. Apologies for no camera showing the actual button but you can see from the Stream Deck app the specific application.
@@NeilFarrimond all good brother. This is the video that made me sub to your channel and you're the reason I got this whole thing figure out so a massive THANK YOU!
Seems you have to have a Streamdeck device connected for this to work (I do not have one). I can't click prompter control in the Streamdeck app (like shown in your video) and have prompter start and stop for some odd reason. Won;t trigger with the prompter pedal either. Odd.
@HustonSingletary Hi, you will need some form of stream deck device for you to trigger the prompter. The stream deck app will now allow you to do this, In the video I was showing the stream deck app and actually pressing something on an actual stream deck. Having said that, if you have an Elgato Pedal ( I think you mentioned it), then you should be able to get some of the functions to work. Not all prompter functions work on the pedal. You can also download the free Elgato stream deck app for your phone. Like here: www.elgato.com/us/en/s/stream-deck-mobile
@@johnhe9984 I’m not sure I follow. The StreamDeck + can be used with the Camera Hub / Prompter plugin. The dials are used for one thing the buttons the other. Not all functions are available for the dials / rotary controls.
Do you mean Teleprompter App? The Elgato prompter acts as a second monitor for your PC or MAC. It comes with it's own teleprompter software using the Elgato Camera hub. You can also use any teleprompter app as long as you can use it with a second monitor. Hope this helps.
@@NeilFarrimond thank you for your response.i have Samsung Chromebook I download software it didn’t work.my last question is i ll place my small ipaid in front of teleprompter to read the script.which app I’ll use for script ? And how will I slow down the speed or control prompter while I’m sitting on chair.its confused.please guide me I appreciate it
I had Elgator camera hub installed and just installed the Stream Deck software. Doesn't show a Camera Hub option. Both appear to be the latest versions of software. In fact, I'm running the beta for the Elgato Camera Hub. Any thoughts?
@@NeilFarrimond That’s correct, it didn’t appear. However, I found the resolution as a plugin on the Elgato page. It wasn’t in the software on installation.
My Elgato prompter arrived today, and your video was super helpful in setting it up with my Stream Deck Plus. What an excellent combo. Thanks so much!

How difficult is it to add and edit scripts? What programs can you use?
I'm not a big fan of the Elgato script editor. I use Promptsmart pro.
great video. Misspelled streamdeck at 1:33 lololol
Ooopppps. You’re right!

but Im lucky 3 weeks a ago they told me the prompter wont be in to Bangkok until April but it was more 350 usd
close to china and pay more
why the camera hub is not shown on the stream deck+ list?
@@johnhe9984 I’m not sure I follow. The StreamDeck + can be used with the Camera Hub / Prompter plugin. The dials are used for one thing the buttons the other. Not all functions are available for the dials / rotary controls.

Do you mean Teleprompter App? The Elgato prompter acts as a second monitor for your PC or MAC. It comes with it's own teleprompter software using the Elgato Camera hub. You can also use any teleprompter app as long as you can use it with a second monitor. Hope this helps.

no power on/off botton
Yeah it has it in the beta CameraHub I installed yesterday, but sadly no plugin option to make an on/off button.
yes i i do have 1.9 still no power
Watch at 2x.
I am 😂. Habit.
Way too confusing. Canceling my order.
Sorry to hear that.
