Have you ever used a teleprompter in Zoom meetings and presentations?

Question

I am about to launch a teleprompter app called FlowPrompter. It may help you conveniently prompt during Zoom meetings, slide presentations, or livestreams. The audience can’t see it; only you can. 
With it, you can start your speech immediately in front of the camera anytime, anywhere, delivering your presentation smoothly without having to memorize the script. 
Would you need it? I can’t wait to hear your feedback and suggestions!

Accepted Answer

I’ve thought about it, but I haven’t used a teleprompter for my Zoom meetings yet. Maybe I should try it.

Answer

I have used teleprompters for video production but not for presentations or zooms. Sounds interesting and more curious on how you will deal with speed, speech recognition or eye movement for novelist. Good luck with the launch!

@harshu_thaheed Good perspective! Professional skills are indeed crucial. Another perspective is that a teleprompter can help more people feel confident and professional right from the start.

I've used a DIY teleprompter setup for Zoom calls before and it definitely helped me present more smoothly without constantly glancing at my notes! Having an app designed for this would be super handy. A few thoughts: 1) Make it easy to import scripts/talking points 2) Allow text resizing and speed control 3) Enable hotkeys to start/pause. Curious to check out FlowPrompter when it launches!

Answer

I’ve used a teleprompter a couple of times. It really helps keep my presentations smooth.

Using a teleprompter can be helpful, but starting off without one might be better. In the beginning, your content may not be perfect, but over time, you'll improve and hone your skills.

Answer

I haven’t tried using a teleprompter yet. I usually just rely on my notes.
