The app has changed a little since the video was recorded. For example, Create Post now has Brand colors and Burn in logo options, and My Scripts has a filter button. The steps below match the current app.

Before You Start

• You need a Social Cascade account on your team. If you don't have one, ask your team Admin to invite you.
• Use the same email address for app.socialcascade.co and the Teleprompter app.
• Install the Social Cascade Teleprompter app from the App Store. It runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 15.1 or later.
• Recording, posting and creating scripts need the Admin or Editor role. Viewers can open and read scripts only.
• A team Admin must connect at least one social account in the web app before anyone can post.
• Teams with the Web Teleprompter can also record from a computer. See Recording from Your Browser (Web Teleprompter).

Step 1: Connect Social Accounts in the Web App

Video: 0:24. Team Admins only.

1. Sign in at app.socialcascade.co.
2. Click your avatar and choose Account Settings.
3. Next to Social Profiles, click + and connect Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or YouTube.
4. Finish each platform's sign-in, then return to Social Cascade. Connected accounts appear as profile cards.

If a profile is missing, click Refresh under Social Profiles. For Facebook, sign in with the personal account that manages your Page. For Instagram, use a professional account (Business or Creator). See Connecting Social Profiles.

Step 2: Sign In to the Teleprompter App

Video: 3:33

1. Open the app and enter the email you use on the web app.
2. Tap Send Code.
3. Enter the 6-digit code from your email and tap Verify Code.

See Logging In with Email and a One-Time Code.

Step 3: Finish Onboarding

Video: 4:00

The first time you open the app, you see five screens. Tap Next or swipe to move on, or tap Skip at any time.

1. Welcome! Enter what patients call you, for example Dr. Smith. Drafted scripts use this name.
2. Your Practice Info: practice name, phone number and website. These are shared by your whole team, and only team Admins can change them. Changing the practice name renames the team.
3. Voice Training (optional): record a short sample so drafted scripts sound like you. The app keeps the text, not your voice. See Voice Training for Personalized Scripts.
4. Camera & Microphone: tap Allow & Continue.
5. You're All Set! Tap Get Started to open My Scripts.

Onboarding shows once per install. You can change these details later in Settings.

Step 4: Create a Script

Video: 5:29

On My Scripts, tap +.

• Draft Script: describe your topic, answer the follow-up questions, and tap Draft Script. You can paste a link to use as a source.
• New Blank Script: add a title and type or paste your script. To dictate, use the microphone key on your keyboard. Tap Create Script.

See Creating and Managing Scripts.

Step 5: Record with the Teleprompter

Video: 6:46

1. Open a script and tap Record Video.
2. Tap Practice to rehearse. The script scrolls but nothing is recorded. Tap the script to pause or resume.
3. Tap the gear icon to change scroll speed, text size and opacity.
4. Tap Record. After a short countdown, recording starts. It stops on its own at 3 minutes.
5. Tap Stop. On Review Takes, record another take or tap Create Post.

See Recording Videos with the Teleprompter and Managing Your Takes.

Step 6: Post, Schedule or Save to My Stream

Video: 7:51

1. On Create Post, edit the caption and hashtags.
2. Optional: turn on Add captions and pick a caption style. If your team has a Brand Kit logo, you can also turn on Burn in logo.
3. Select your platforms.
4. Under Post Options, tap one:
   • Post Now: posts as soon as processing finishes.
   • Schedule: posts at the date and time you pick. The app suggests a time for your platforms.
   • Save to My Stream: saves the video to your team's My Stream in the web app, for an Admin or Editor to schedule later.

The app uploads your take and processes it. This usually takes 3–6 minutes for clips under a minute, and up to 10 minutes for a full 3-minute recording. You don't need to wait on the screen.

On Review Video, play the finished video, tap Save to Photos / Share to keep a copy, then tap Done.

See Creating a Post in the Teleprompter App, Adding Captions and Your Logo to Videos and Video Processing and Review.

Step 7: Find Your Content on the Web

Video: 9:13

1. Sign in at app.socialcascade.co.
2. Open Calendar to see posts you published or scheduled.
3. Open My Stream on the Calendar to schedule videos you saved from the app.

Your original takes stay on your phone until you delete them. If your phone runs low on space, the app clears its copies of takes that were already uploaded.

Q: Which platforms can I post to from the app?

A: Any account your team has connected, such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube Shorts.
