Published Updated
Yes. CapCut’s mobile app includes a teleprompter that displays your script while you record. CapCut’s help center says the feature is not supported in its Desktop or Web editors. On mobile, look for Teleprompter under All tools and Quick actions, then add your script and adjust the display before recording.
Where is the teleprompter in CapCut?
The official mobile instructions say to open All tools → Quick actions → Teleprompter. The labels and location may vary with your app version. You'll find it among the recording tools.
- Open the mobile app and find Teleprompter in the tools or recording area.
- Type or paste a short script. Choose a readable text size, colour and scrolling pace.
- Move or resize the script panel near the camera without obscuring the framing you need.
- Choose the intended front or rear camera, rehearse the opening, and record a test.
- Review the clip, then continue to editing and export.
CapCut’s camera help places these controls in the iOS/Android recording interface. Watch where your eyes are looking and listen to the sound before recording the full script.
Why can’t you find it on desktop or web?
| Platform | Teleprompter availability |
|---|---|
| iOS / Android app | Script display within mobile recording |
| Desktop editor | Teleprompter not supported |
| Web editor | Teleprompter not supported |
If you cannot find it, check that you are using the mobile app and look in its recording tools. Check your app version and in-app help too. Updating may help, though feature availability can vary by account. Back up your drafts before considering a reinstall.
Is the CapCut teleprompter free?
CapCut advertises the teleprompter as free. Check what your app includes and export a short test clip before recording a full video. Premium project elements or export settings can require Pro, even when something can be previewed in the editor.
Free prompting does not mean every effect or export option is free. If you plan to use teleprompter glass, check whether your version can mirror the text; the pages linked here do not confirm that feature.
When should you use a separate prompter?
CapCut lets you read and record on one phone. A separate prompter can be useful when you record with a camera or webcam and want to control the script on another screen. With LilPrompter, put the script on another device beside a phone camera, or in a separate computer window. It does not record or float over CapCut.
Use the separate-recording setup guide if that is your layout, or compare the free tool plans for the features you need. Try your chosen setup and watch a test clip to see where your eyes are looking.
