Teleprompter for Google Meet
Keep your notes next to the lens in Google Meet. On Mac, GoTeleprompter floats above the Meet tab, even in full screen, and follows your voice. On Windows or Chromebook, the free web teleprompter floats beside Meet with picture-in-picture.
Below: the setup with the GoTeleprompter Mac app, how Hide from Screen Sharing behaves in Google Meet, and the free web teleprompter option for Windows and Chromebook. New to Voice Follow? The script scrolls as you speak and waits when you pause.
How to use a teleprompter with Google Meet on Mac
- Open your script in GoTeleprompter for Mac and turn on Float on Top so it stays above Google Meet, even in full screen.
- Choose Move Below Camera to dock the script as a strip right under your webcam.
- Check that Hide from Screen Sharing is on (it is by default).
- Start Voice Follow and speak. The script moves at your pace and waits when you pause.
- Before going live, do a quick test share or test recording in Google Meet to confirm the prompter is not visible.
Is the prompter hidden in Google Meet?
Hide from Screen Sharing is on by default and keeps the prompter out of screen sharing and recordings in apps that respect it. Some apps that capture your entire screen may still show it, so share a single window when you can and do a quick test share in Google Meet before going live.
Float your script above the call, scroll it with your voice, and keep it off the shared screen.
Free to start. One subscription covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac. macOS 26+.
Who this setup is for
- Teams that run Meet in Chrome or Edge all day
- Educators and office hours hosts who need consistent talking points
- Founders pitching or demoing without a second monitor ritual
- Anyone who wants a free setup with no Chrome extension for Meet
Free option: the web teleprompter with Google Meet
No Mac, or on Windows or Chromebook? The free web teleprompter works in any modern browser. It scrolls at a speed you set (no Voice Follow), and its picture-in-picture window is visible if you share your whole screen, so share a single window instead.
- Open the web teleprompter in its own tab or window and load a short cue script (not a wall of paragraphs).
- Set 120–130 WPM and a large font. Open Document picture-in-picture on Chrome/Edge/Firefox and drag it beside the Meet camera preview — built for single-monitor meetings.
- Join the Meet call. Position the floating script as close to the lens as your layout allows.
- If you present, use Meet’s share for slides or a single tab — never the teleprompter tab, and avoid “entire screen” unless the script is on another display.
- Pause scrolling when discussion starts; resume for the prepared close.
Free web teleprompter
Paste a script, set WPM, then open picture-in-picture to float cues beside your meeting. No signup.
Tips that keep delivery natural
- Picture-in-picture is already in the web teleprompter — no Meet add-on needed.
- Meet’s browser UI pairs well with PiP or a second browser window for the prompter.
- Keep questions as a short numbered list so you can skip ahead when someone covers a topic early.
- On one screen, prefer PiP or a phone beside the webcam over a full-width docs panel.
