How to use CueCam as a teleprompter

CueCam is built to be a great teleprompter.

You should create your cue cards with your teleprompter in mind.

All the text you add to a cue card will be visible in your teleprompter.

This is a typical card. It includes a title in a way that can be shown on screen while being read from the teleprompter. https://codaio.imgix.net/docs/skmQlO27qY/blobs/bl-P1agmoKXYV/61a4bffb5cebe9b00ef71c46c1f4357bbc6555f9acbc27fc52b4aebd1b6fbc241481081508fbfc15e7942d71543cb99c6eda04446a1fcf322fb2603c793d431c4fb637b0aef7bc42768242bef0e8e5d8780083bf097b428ec6ca4286f1f7dbae71b402a7?auto=format%2Ccompress&w=0.5

Imagine if CueCam kept the teleprompter text separate from the titles. In this case when we save-as to make next week’s script, we’d need to change the number twice - once on the card and once in the slide editor. By keeping text and slide content in one place, we can avoid mistakes!

Try to keep your cards concise - it’s easy to flip to the next card and they’ll be easier to read if they’re short.

The teleprompter window

If you have an Elgato Prompter or similar, you will have a separate display for this device.

CueCam has a teleprompter window that you can drag onto this display. https://codaio.imgix.net/docs/skmQlO27qY/blobs/bl-M3Q0x2qN5z/31423fc19c588d90512f2dc4e6c05df02134309242c6da32e96c79f7ebafa0d5743198056c156c95371559c4ea8eab32b1ed2e3a2751a6bfe0a20212639404c8fdd481d2dc283ae7584fa062f8b6ac88a5f1716d877fad414bb62d58e1bc6ddfd4c74d84?auto=format%2Ccompress&w=0.5

This window can include your camera preview or another window from your computer, or you can make it transparent and drag another window behind it. https://codaio.imgix.net/docs/skmQlO27qY/blobs/bl-9g14BFdCIQ/20222861bf313da29ce7519beb2e133e7d858fddc22c77bf2deb4a22972f1eff7b6f27f5cf55fbf2b11a514a74a171f93fcbbaa4bd7b18e7bf3afceeaa72346d33fd4253a02492a97f2167b723ba4f9d61fd5cc23684ee7c4f3a24292a29954343406034?auto=format%2Ccompress&w=0.5

Navigating cards

You navigate your teleprompter with the big pink button. https://codaio.imgix.net/docs/skmQlO27qY/blobs/bl-5vZ2zfkzvN/7f47f1be654d9bcafc7db540760675c4856ff314e6107c51db6b2000198432ea07c3d9d8b5cc8613a2f08e71a24556202099aed15845535b5d719d5a8822db40fe0f261758932cf331af529c232e5d7c01684d1a0e3889e18fa670449543460f74218246?auto=format%2Ccompress&w=0.5

When you’re presenting, the pink button will display a preview of the next card https://codaio.imgix.net/docs/skmQlO27qY/blobs/bl-rsAvKoDoWG/7479dd0c31a5aabb2424ecc10e963056f087c5e159bd1b99435158723b0649e3549fc692a938007e1edb8e62a3fabc00841dac5e3cd229e9f49fa7249ed69518a8706cba8732ad7d37104fefec38819e26b3129002e65df779495eb178115de00590dc93?auto=format%2Ccompress&w=0.5

Cards can include bullet points (using the * syntax) https://codaio.imgix.net/docs/skmQlO27qY/blobs/bl-NE86gQAWSK/6cd7200da59237ae9fd0629d9bfeea5fa7b158d2dbbb6ac8cdcf2c4da0752336268d50be38113a1d327e5f669f41488327cbeac197484ef16ba90aef9f78787bddfbe5b5bfeb9fcd5f7269cd1255c958b25de7553b223a49f3d7f9966e5ecdb802ee7bd0?auto=format%2Ccompress&w=0.5

If your card has bullet points, these will be revealed one at a time and the pink button will update accordingly. https://codaio.imgix.net/docs/skmQlO27qY/blobs/bl-I9pRfG_-Et/750d1b75ca886f37cf0ea20c4315283f7e4ae7581766bf15d1058a403c327e48c3090a297efc88b5d28923d2a691ae3ce1db492ccd2dd70798170165ecf58af3929bc588bc341c5eadeedfaa4ee88bd1ce2dd3388b5e3a0a093e265e55839c9958fc1c9a?auto=format%2Ccompress&w=0.5
