Promptsmart Pro is the teleprompter app used by the eCampus Multimedia Team. This article provides best practices and other helpful resources for using a teleprompter for videos.When working with scripts you will need to create a folder for the specific course you are working on using the eCampusvideo Google Drive.

The easiest way to work with teleprompted scripts is by utilizing 2 iPads—one iPad that will sit in the stand using the Promptsmart Pro app (A) and one iPad using the Promptsmart Remote Control app (B). You can still utilize voice tracking from A and follow along using B. Should you need to backup at any time you can use B remotely to scroll to the appropriate script location.
