Will OBS record the FlowPrompter window?

Camera-only OBS scenes will not record the prompt because OBS only receives your camera feed. For display capture or window capture, enable Window Privacy in FlowPrompter so the prompt is excluded from the capture.

Where should I put FlowPrompter when streaming with OBS?

Put the prompt near your camera or just above the OBS preview, then keep controls reachable through keyboard shortcuts. This lets you read sponsor reads, intros, and transitions without switching windows.

Can I use FlowPrompter for live sponsor reads in OBS?

Yes. Keep each sponsor read or segment intro as a separate script, then use shortcuts to start, pause, or move between sections while OBS continues streaming.

Integration

FlowPrompter + OBS Studio

Your script on screen, invisible to your viewers.

FlowPrompter works with OBS by giving you a readable script on your own monitor while OBS records or streams the scene you choose. If your OBS setup captures only your camera, the prompt is never part of the video feed. If you use display capture or window capture, turn on Window Privacy before going live so the prompt window is excluded from the captured output. That distinction matters: OBS workflows vary, so the safest setup is camera near the prompt plus Window Privacy for any screen capture.
