How to view any window on a remote device
Put your reading display where you need it. Remote viewing shares a selected tab, window, or screen from your computer to another compatible browser, so you can place a second display near your camera or presenter.
Remote viewing is available with Premium, Plus, and an active trial.
Start sharing
- Open OBS Teleprompter on a computer with browser screen-sharing support.
- Choose Connect Remote Viewer.
- Allow screen sharing and select the teleprompter tab, another window, or a screen in the browser’s picker.
- On the viewing device, open app.obsteleprompter.com/remote.
- Sign in with the same account used on the sharing computer.
- Once the devices connect, use the viewer’s full-screen control for a larger display.
Keep the sharing tab open. Use one sharing session per account at a time. A phone, tablet, or second computer can serve as a viewer when its browser supports the connection; the device starting the session must support screen capture.
Control the source display
Remote viewing mirrors the screen you selected. Choose your reading mode and control scrolling on the source computer. The viewer is a display, not a remote-control app.
For voice-following, start Dictate on the source computer. For a keyboard or presentation clicker, choose Manual there. The remote screen shows the result.
If the viewer stays blank
Check that both devices use the same account, screen-sharing permission is still active, and the selected tab or window remains available. Your browsers and network must support the connection; a firewall or restricted network can prevent it.
To end sharing, use the app’s remote-viewer control or stop the share in your browser.
See the documentation for the rest of your reading and recording controls.
