Teleprompter

no. Not with modern teleprompters.

How does a presidential teleprompter work?

McGentrix-

Thank you.

So how is the speaker able to read it but others in the same room can not even see it?

Region Philbis-

Thank you.

So, President Trump (or other speaker) is looking at the floor in the back of the room that he is speaking from, reading the text of his speech?

If yes, why couldn't other persons in the same room read it also?

The speaker is not looking at the floor in the back of the room they are speaking from. They are looking at a screen or screens on the floor directly in front of the lectern. Only somebody behind the lectern can see them.

See this picture? See the plants around the front of the lectern? They are not there just to look pretty.


Here is shown what the plants are concealing

Sorry, I got caught by the edit timeout. Scrub the bit in the last about looking at the floor. In the first picture above, see the two glass sheets on stands? They are actually one-way mirrors. From the audience side they look like clear glass, and are hardly noticed. From the speaker (lectern) side they show a reflection of the screen on the floor. The text on the screen is reversed, so it appears right-way-round in the one way mirror. This picture shows what the speaker at the lectern sees. As I said, the text is invisible to the audience.

Thank you.

I think he would have to keep leaning his head forward and face pointing down.
