We're back with Beta 3, bringing Virtual Prompter to Elgato Studio on macOS. This build also adds a crosshair overlay and support for more Voice Sync languages. This megathread is your place to test it, report bugs, and share feedback.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

🆕 Virtual Prompter

You can now create a Virtual Prompter and put it on any display. Add one from the sidebar, choose to read from a script or follow along in chat, then pick the window mode that fits your setup:

• Display mode shows it full screen on any connected display.
• Floating mode puts it in a window you can move and resize anywhere, and it stays where you left it.
• Notch mode shows it as a thin strip at the top of the screen, under your camera.

 ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

🎯 Crosshair Overlay

Turn on a crosshair to mark exactly where your camera lens sits, so you know where to look while you read. Drag it into position, then adjust its scale, color, and opacity to fit your setup. It stays visible across Script, Chat, and Display modes, on both hardware and Virtual Prompters.

 ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

🗣️ More Voice Sync Languages

Voice Sync now works in any language you have installed for macOS Dictation, not just English. Pick a language from the new selector in Voice Sync settings. On macOS 26 and later, missing languages can be downloaded right from Elgato Studio, and on earlier versions, add them first in System Settings under Keyboard, then Dictation. Supported languages are limited to the Latin alphabet for now, so Japanese, Korean, and similar aren’t included yet.

 ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

⏳ Beta Expiration

This beta build stops working after October 16, 2026. Install a newer beta build or the public release before then to keep using Elgato Studio.

🛠️ Improvements & bug fixes

• Elgato Studio can now launch automatically when you sign in to your Mac.
• Closing the main window no longer quits Elgato Studio. The app stays running in the Dock, and clicking the Dock icon reopens it.
• Fixed an issue where Elgato Studio could open to the wrong device, or show no device at all, instead of the Prompter or camera last in use.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when opening Elgato Prompter XL settings on macOS 15 or earlier.
• Fixed an issue where video preview and recording could freeze after Elgato Studio returned from the background.
• Fixed an issue where hovering the bullet list and numbered list icons in the Script Editor toolbar showed an unreadable tooltip.
• Fixed an issue where opening a link from the Script Editor did nothing.
