Desktop teleprompter that sits under your webcam for natural eye contact on video podcasts.
scripted video podcasts
VODIUM does one thing: a translucent prompter window that sits directly under your webcam so your eyes don't drift while reading. If you do scripted intros or sponsor reads, that single trick is the whole product. Skip it if your show is conversational.
VODIUM solves one stubborn problem for video podcasters: every other teleprompter on your screen pulls your eyes off the lens. The whole product is a translucent prompter window pinned directly under your webcam, so your gaze stays close to on-camera while you read. That's it. Paste your script, set the scroll speed, hit play, talk. The interface is unfussy and the trial gets you enough to know in five minutes whether you'll use it. You run VODIUM next to Riverside, Zoom, OBS, StreamYard — anything that actually captures audio and video — and it ignores them all. If you've used BIGVU, the contrast is sharp: BIGVU bundles teleprompting with mobile recording, captions, and AI editing into one app. VODIUM does none of that. For shows that just need a clean prompter and already have a recording stack, that single-purpose discipline is exactly the appeal. The honest catch is that some recording tools — Riverside Pro especially — bundle a prompter natively. If you already pay for one of those, you're double-paying. Otherwise it's the cleanest standalone teleprompter for podcasters in 2026, and the promo code TELEPROMPTER routinely knocks 25% off if you want to test the waters longer.

VODIUM is shaped for scripted video podcasts. Its biggest strength: sits under the webcam for eye-contact illusion. If you do scripted intros or sponsor reads, that single trick is the whole product
not a recorder — pair it with one; mac and windows only, no mobile app. None of these are deal-breakers on their own, but they're worth knowing before you commit.
It's a paid tool in the $ range. Some plans have a free trial — check the latest on their pricing page.
