If you want to record someone reading text with a phone, webcam or other device you can use a free web based teleprompter app like this<\/a>. There are also all kinds of teleprompter gadgets to clip on to your screen. This is one way of running text on any computer using free software.
The problem with video chat software like Zoom is that, when you screen share, the screen share takes over all the screens including ISO recordings.
So if you’re trying to record someone remotely reading a text it can’t be done with screen sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use the new virtual camera build into free multi platform OBS software.
Start by installing the latest version of OBS<\/a>.
If you just want to facilitate a prompter from your Zoom account you need just one computer. If you also want to record the person reading the text, you’ll need two, with different accounts to join the session.
1. Open a browser an paste the text into the web based prompter.<\/a>
Adjust options and use browser zoom- CRTL\/CMD +- to adjust font size.
You can also adjust the font size by changing the screen resolution.
2. Start OBS, in OBS start Virtual Camera.
3. In Skype or Zoom choose the OBS virtual camera.
4. Ask the participant to Pin the Zoom account that you use for the prompter.
Tell them to make Zoom full screen and minimize the participants.
5. Make the browser with the prompter page full screen and run the prompter as needed.
It is very important to practice with the scroll speed and controls of the web based prompter. Controls can be finicky and you don’t want your talent to have to read jumpy text on their screen.
