Settings¶
Open them from the menu bar icon (Settings…) or with ⌘, in the scripts window. Everything changes the prompter as you move it, even while it's showing, so you can set it up mid-rehearsal.

|---|---|---|
| Placement | Top of screen hangs it from the top edge, under the camera. Floating makes it a card you can drag anywhere. | Top of screen |
| Display | Which screen it goes on. Automatic is the one with the notch, or the main one if none has a notch. | Automatic |
