# How to configure Teleprompter remote control

The LPM iPads have the Teleprompter app installed.  For remote control, two iPads will be required, one to be viewed by the talent (the Host iPad) and the second to be used to remotely control the first (the Remote iPad). But please note that one Remote iPad can control up to seven Host iPads simultaneously.\
\
Start the Teleprompter app on the Host iPad.\
\
You will be prompted to choose a script. <mark style="color:red;">**Do not start playing a script yet. Once a script is playing, it will not be possible to connect to a remote iPad.**</mark>**&#x20;If a script is already being played, return to the 'My Scripts' window.**\
\
Scroll to the bottom of the 'My Scripts' window and choose <mark style="color:blue;">**Remote**</mark>:&#x20;
