What happens when you record
You write or paste a script, open the recording surface, then grant camera access when the browser asks. Microphone access is requested only for a recording setup that includes audio. The finished take is created in the current browser tab and can be previewed before you download it.
The prompt is a reading aid on your screen. It is not burned into the video file: the saved recording is the camera stream supplied by your browser.
A simple setup for a natural take
01
Place the camera near eye level
Raise a laptop or phone so the lens is close to the line where you read. A small distance between the cue and lens makes eye movement less noticeable.
02
Use short spoken phrases
Break a long script into paragraphs. Short phrases are easier to follow and give you natural places to pause.
03
Make a short test take
Check framing, sound and the downloaded file before recording a longer video. Browser codec and file-saving behavior can vary by device.
Camera, microphone and privacy
- Camera and microphone access starts only after you choose the recording flow and press the permission button.
- If microphone access is unavailable or denied, use the camera-only option when your browser allows it.
- Scripts and the resulting take stay in the current browser session; LumaCue does not upload either to a server.
Common questions
Is the teleprompter text visible in the exported video?
No. The text stays on the screen as a reading cue. The downloaded file contains the camera stream provided by the browser.
Can I record without a microphone?
The studio provides a camera-only path where the browser supports camera capture. The resulting video will not include microphone audio.
Do I need to install an app?
No. LumaCue runs in your browser without an app or account. Camera recording is available in supported browsers when the site is served securely over HTTPS.
Practical guides
Try it with your own script
Open the tool, paste a script and start reading. You can enable the camera separately when you are ready to record.
