The Elgato Prompter XL is a large-format teleprompter built around a 15.6-inch removable display, designed for studio cameras, longer reading distances, and multi-presenter setups. With a metal-heavy build and generous clearance for larger lenses, it stays stable on tripods or C-stands while keeping text readable at up to 15 feet. A single USB-C connection handles power and signal, and the screen doubles as a standalone monitor between takes.

FAQs:
How far away can I comfortably read from the Prompter XL?
The Prompter XL is designed for reading distances up to 15 feet (4.6 metres). At that range, the 15.6-inch display allows large, clean text that remains legible without forcing oversized fonts. The long range makes it suitable for studio desks, standing presentations, or multi-host layouts where the camera sits further back. However, it works equally well when positioned closer for single-presenter shoots.
Does the Prompter XL require an external monitor or power supply?
No. The display is built in and connects via a single USB 3.2 cable for both power and video, keeping the setup simple and avoiding extra wires or adapters on set. Once connected to your computer, it behaves like a dedicated teleprompter display or a secondary monitor.
Can the display be used on its own without the teleprompter housing?
Yes. The 15.6-inch screen is removable and can function as a standalone monitor between shoots. The monitor is useful for reviewing scripts, displaying notes, or using it as an auxiliary screen in the studio. Reattaching it to the teleprompter housing is quick and doesn’t require tools.
What type of cameras and lenses does it support?
Elgato’s Prompter XL is built to handle larger mirrorless cameras, camcorders, and heavier lenses than smaller teleprompters. With support for rigs up to 5kg (11 lb) using the camera bracket, it accommodates wide-angle lenses and longer lens barrels common in studio work. This makes it suitable for professional video setups rather than compact creator rigs.
What software do I need to run the Prompter XL?
The unit works with Camera Hub software from Elgato, which is included at no cost. Camera Hub allows you to manage scripts, adjust text size and scroll speed, enable voice sync, monitor video, and even display Twitch chat. It can also be controlled directly from a Stream Deck for hands-on operation during recording.
How long does setup take?
The setup of the Elgato Prompter XL is designed to be quick, using thumbscrews and a single cable connection. Once mounted, you can easily adjust the camera to keep the lens centred behind the beamsplitter glass. For fixed studio setups, you can go from case to ready-to-roll in just a few minutes.

Buy now pay later
The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
