Open the prompter

Open the prompter on the presenter's device and let it follow the show or the host.

Put the script in front of the presenter, on a prompter screen, an iPad or a phone. See Follow Host and The prompter.

Before you start

  • The show has a rundown. See Import a script.
  • The prompter device is on the same network as this Mac.

Step 1: Get the address to the device

Section titled “Step 1: Get the address to the device”

Choose Window › Prompter Code. The Remote popover opens on Prompter with a QR code.

The Remote popover on Prompter: the QR code, the address with its copy button and Send to iPhone… (a sample address in this picture)

  • Point the device’s camera at the code, or
