Instagram Camera Adds Built-in Teleprompter
Meta has integrated a teleprompter feature from its Edits app into the main Instagram camera, allowing creators to add a scrolling script that appears while recording. The tool aims to help users stay on message, reduce the number of takes, and speed up Reels production — which can save time and costs for commercial productions. Instagram head Adam Mosseri confirmed the rollout via his Broadcast Channel and stressed that posting timing, competitive context, and engagement signals remain key factors for Reels performance. The change is one of several updates intended to improve creators’ content creation and posting workflows.
Edits Adds Freeze Frame & Voiceover Teleprompter
Meta’s video editing app Edits rolls out three new creator-focused features to improve Reels storytelling: Sound Effects for you (a personalized audio suggestions tab), Freeze Frame to freeze specific frames for emphasis, and a Voiceover Teleprompter that displays script text on screen during recording. Initially available to iOS users, the update follows Edits’ prior enhancements such as automatic caption highlights and faster Reels playback (up to 100x). The features are presented by Instagram’s official Creators account, underscoring Edits’ role as a CapCut-like option within the Meta ecosystem for content creation across Instagram, Facebook, and Threads.
