How to Use Teleprompter in OBS Studio: The Ultimate Guide for Streamers
For streamers and live content creators, alt-tabbing to read scripts is a nightmare that breaks immersion. PromptNinja offers the perfect solution: integrate the teleprompter directly into OBS Studio as a transparent browser source or use it on a secondary monitor with P2P remote control. Use our Chroma Key themes (green and blue) to remove the background and leave only floating text over your scene.
Why Pro Streamers Choose PromptNinja?
Stability is crucial. Our P2P (Peer-to-Peer) system ensures that text control (via mobile) doesn't consume your stream's bandwidth.
Plus, the "Chroma Key" theme allows you to overlay text directly onto your game screen or camera feed, visible only to you (if using projection) or your audience (if you want live captions).

In OBS, apply the "Chroma Key" filter to the browser source to completely remove the colored background, leaving only professional floating text over your gameplay or camera. Perfect for that news anchor look.

How do I remove the background in OBS?
In PromptNinja, switch the theme to 'Chroma Green'. In OBS, right-click the browser source, go to Filters, and add 'Chroma Key'. The green will become transparent.
Does it work with Streamlabs and Twitch Studio too?
Yes. The logic is the same: add it as a 'Browser Source'. PromptNinja is compatible with any broadcasting software that accepts web sources.
