#1 On zoom they see all our screens including our prompter. It’s the only way it can be done,' wrote producer Ben Winston

Was this a scripted show then? If not, why would they need a teleprompter?

I watched the clip of the interview where Quid Pro Joe was showing pictures of his family.

If you pause the video, make it full screen (I have a 40" 4K monitor) and click through a frame at a time, you can see in a previous picture that the green writing has one form. Then he goes through a couple more pictures and shows the one that clearly shows the monitor, and the green writing has taken another form. So for some reason there seem to be words scrolling. Yet that contradicts the free-wheeling nature that one would expect from the back and forth of family photos.

Now further down the Daily Mail article, producer Ben Winston says "On zoom they see all our screens including our prompter. It’s the only way it can be done." Which I sincerely doubt, because James Corden's ~~Chinese spyware~~ Zoom screen only shows Biden's camera, yet Ben is claiming that every participant should see everything, including any teleprompters. Why doesn't James' screen show the teleprompter? Is he not allowed to see that for some reason? Now it's possible that he has selected Biden's camera only for display, but I don't see any alternate screens across any of the sides for selection should he need to jump to another view. It's also possible that he has set his software to show the screen of the last person to have spoken other than himself.

Still, why is the teleprompter session scrolling as I noted above? And why would Ben say that it's the only way it can be done if one of my explanations happens to be possible?

Then again, maybe Biden is as much of a tech whiz as he is a policy whiz.

#3 They had an interview with Biden, certainly they took some publicity stills of the whole thing. Should be easy enough to clarify the issue if they just release all the footage.

#4 /\ Release all the footage? Imagine all the incoherent ramblings that they edited out to make Biden look ~~mentally competent~~ Presidential.
