A presentation script by slide
Do not copy every slide bullet into the teleprompter. Your spoken script should explain why the material matters.

Screen sharing: choose a tab, window or entire screen
The capture source determines what viewers see. A separate presentation window keeps unrelated tabs and the studio interface out of the video.

Recording a short video lesson
A lesson is easier to follow when it solves one problem. The teleprompter keeps the explanation in order while the screen shows the action.

A product demo with camera and script
A demo should show the user’s path to a result. A feature list alone does not explain what problem the product solves.

A video walkthrough for a client
A short explanation helps when a client needs to see a sequence of actions. Download the recording and share it through your usual channel.

An asynchronous team video update
A video update can explain context alongside a screen. Start with what changed and what decision you need from colleagues.
