Best Video Teleprompters of 2020

Using a teleprompter is one of the best ways to reinforce your on-screen confidence for video marketing.

Ask any marketer about the value of a video teleprompter and you’ll probably hear a few common responses:

  • “A teleprompter can be great as long as your video doesn’t sound too scripted.”
  • “Using a teleprompter takes some getting used to…”
  • And then, something along the lines of: “I use a teleprompter for ALL of my recorded videos!”

Finding a great teleprompter can take some work, which is why our Keynote Content team sorted through some of the best video teleprompters to present what we feel are the best of the best.

Features to Consider When Choosing a Video Teleprompter

There are several details and situations you need to process through before purchasing a new teleprompter for video marketing:

  • Setup speed and ease – If setting up and starting your teleprompter is a pain at all, you’ll probably be tempted to ‘just wing it’ instead of dealing with the hassle of your teleprompter. What’s the point of owning a teleprompter if it’s a headache to even set up?
  • Compatibility – How well does your teleprompter integrate with most video camera setups? Are you trying to use your phone or tablet as your script? How closely does the mirroring align with your presentation setup?
  • Appearance – We know, this may seem crazy because you’re the only one who should be looking at the teleprompter. However, you will probably spend hours looking at your teleprompter while creating amazing videos for your business? Why not get a teleprompter that has a design and style you love with no compromises?
  • Speed adjustments and other performance features – A good teleprompter should have a variety of speed, font, and start/stop/replay features for you to customize. How easy and intelligent are the controls for the teleprompter you choose? You want a stress-free, focused experience working with your teleprompter. The last thing you need is a distraction caused by a subpar playback setup. On the positive side (our preferred perspective), a seamless teleprompter experience can make your videos provide that ‘wow’ impression with your audience.

CuePro Prompter Teleprompter

If you want a basic, no-frills teleprompter, the CuePro Prompter is your answer. We cannot emphasize enough that this is an entry-level teleprompter and the price reflects it. However, the quality is great for the price point. Keep these details in mind as you consider the CuePro Prompter:

  • The CuePro screen is slightly smaller than many teleprompters, but not an impossible size. This may affect how closely you position the teleprompter to your stance.
  • There is a 14″ 20 tripod connection at the bottom.
  • This teleprompter works best with an iPad.
