Troubleshooting
Fix a Script That Won't Save
- Check your internet connection — on Free plan you must be online to save. Paid plans save locally when offline and sync when you reconnect.
- If on Free plan, check if this script is over your 2-script limit (read-only scripts can't save)
- Check you have edit access (not view-only)
- Try clicking Save manually
- Clear your browser cache and try again
Fix a Teleprompter That Won't Load
- Make sure the script has content — empty scripts can't load
- If on Free plan, check if the script is over-limit (blocked from teleprompter)
- Try disabling browser extensions
- Use a modern browser: Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari
Fix Multi-Device Sync Issues
- Make sure all devices are online
- Verify all devices joined the same session
- Try leaving and rejoining the session
- Only the operator device can control playback — check you're on the right one
- If the viewer stays on an old script after the operator switches, reconnect the session
Viewer Won't Enter Fullscreen
When you toggle fullscreen for a viewer from the operator panel and nothing happens, the viewer's browser likely blocked the programmatic request (common on iPad / iOS / some Android). The viewer will see a "Tap to Enter Fullscreen" overlay — they need to tap it directly. If they tap outside the prompt, fullscreen is dismissed and the operator's toggle resets.
Offline Edits Didn't Sync
When you reconnect after editing offline, a conflict dialog asks which version to keep if the same script was also edited on the server. If edits silently disappear, check Settings → Preferences → Offline Storage for sync status.
Fix Payment Issues
- Go to Settings → Billing → Manage Billing to update your payment method (opens Stripe)
- Check your email for payment failure notifications
- There's a grace period before access is suspended
- Contact support if issues persist
Common Permission Errors
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Can't create scripts | Free plan: 2 script limit. Talent role: can't create. |
| Can't edit a script | You may have view-only access. Over-limit scripts are read-only. |
| Can't invite members | Requires Studio plan. Only Admin/Producer can invite. |
| Can't use teleprompter | Over-limit scripts are blocked on Free plan. |
| Role changed but UI looks the same | Refresh the page or switch tabs and back. Role changes apply server-side instantly but the UI updates on next page load. |
Install as an App
For the best experience, install EasyPrompter as an app: iOS — Share → Add to Home Screen. Android — Menu → Install app.
Why Was I Logged Out?
Sessions stay alive as long as you use EasyPrompter at least once every 7 days — each visit automatically extends your session. Common reasons for an unexpected logout:
- Inactivity: You didn't open EasyPrompter in any tab for more than 7 days. Background or minimized tabs don't count — the tab must be visible.
- Password change: Changing your password immediately signs out all other devices.
- Cleared cookies: Clearing your browser data removes session cookies.
- Offline too long: If your device was offline for 7+ days, the session couldn't be extended even if a tab was open.
To recover, simply sign in again — all your scripts and data are intact.
