Filming vertical video on an iPhone or iPad teleprompter lets you record and read in one device. yPrompt’s Camera mode scrolls your script while capturing video — no external teleprompter hardware required.
iPhone vs iPad for teleprompted recording
- iPhone — best for Reels, TikTok, Shorts, and quick talking-head clips. Full-screen script with on-device recording.
- iPad — larger text for longer scripts; Split View friendly when you need notes alongside another app.
How to record with yPrompt on iPhone or iPad
- Download yPrompt and paste or sync your script via iCloud.
- Choose Camera mode (Pro) so recording and scroll stay in sync.
- Grant camera (and microphone, if needed) access — processing stays on device.
- Frame yourself, set scroll speed or use Voice Scroll, then record.
- Export or share the clip from your Photos library when finished.
Tips for natural on-camera delivery
- Mount the phone at eye level; looking down shortens your face on camera.
- Use larger type and shorter lines so your eyes don’t dart across the screen.
- Record a 10-second test to check lighting, framing, and pace.
- For longer takes, prefer Voice or Timed mode over a speed that’s too fast.
When to switch to Mac
For Zoom, webinars, or desktop recording where you need the script under a webcam while other apps stay visible, use the teleprompter for Zoom workflow or the floating Mac window.
