Set up a browser teleprompter for livestreams with a speaker display, remote operator controls, speed adjustment, and mirror mode.
Set up the speaker and operator views
The speaker should see only the clean script display near the lens. The operator should control speed, pause, font size, and scroll position from a separate laptop, phone, or tablet while listening to the speaker.
How it connects to OBS, vMix, or a camera
A browser teleprompter normally runs beside the livestream system. The speaker reads from the display page, while OBS, vMix, or the camera system captures the program output separately. You only add the teleprompter as a browser source if you intentionally want the script visible somewhere.
Mirror mode and rehearsal
Mirror mode is for teleprompter glass, not flat monitors. Test orientation, font size, line breaks, names, numbers, and operator pace before going live, then confirm the script page is not visible in the program output.
Key details
Use two browser views: a clean speaker display and a separate operator control view.
The teleprompter display is not the stream overlay; OBS or vMix captures the program output separately.
Set font size and line length before scroll speed so the speaker does not scan across long lines.
Use mirror mode only for teleprompter glass, and test it before the camera is framed.
A separate operator who can hear the speaker keeps livestream pacing more natural than a self-running scroll.
Common questions
Can I use a browser teleprompter for livestreams?
Yes. A browser teleprompter can show the script on a speaker display while an operator controls playback from another device.
Does it work with teleprompter glass?
Yes. Questro Teleprompter includes mirror and flip controls for physical teleprompter glass setups.
Should the speaker control the teleprompter?
Usually no. A separate operator should control speed and position so the speaker can focus on delivery.
How do I use a browser teleprompter with OBS or vMix?
The speaker reads from the teleprompter display in a browser; OBS or vMix captures your camera as the program output. They run side by side — you do not need to add the teleprompter as a stream source unless you specifically want the script visible somewhere.
Can one person run the teleprompter alone?
For a short, well-rehearsed read, yes — set a steady speed and let it scroll. For anything live or unscripted, a separate operator who can hear the speaker keeps the pace natural.
