Teleprompter for Loom Recordings
Record a Loom in one take. On Mac, GoTeleprompter floats your script under the camera, scrolls as you speak, and can be kept out of the recording in apps that respect it. On Windows or Chromebook, the free web teleprompter floats beside Loom.
Below: the setup with the GoTeleprompter Mac app, how Hide from Screen Sharing behaves in Loom, 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 Loom on Mac
- Open your script in GoTeleprompter for Mac and turn on Float on Top so it stays above Loom, 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 Loom to confirm the prompter is not visible.
Is the prompter hidden in Loom?
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 Loom 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
- SaaS founders recording product walkthroughs
- Sales and CS sending personalized Loom messages
- Marketers shipping explainers without a studio
- Course creators who want fewer retakes on short lessons
Free option: the web teleprompter with Loom
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.
- Write a Loom-sized script: hook, three beats, clear ask. Paste it into the web teleprompter.
- Set speed for speaking (often 130–150 WPM for short async videos; slower if you demo UI).
- For a camera-only Loom, open picture-in-picture (Chrome/Edge/Firefox) and park the floating script near the webcam — or use a second monitor / phone.
- For a screen + cam Loom, keep PiP or the full teleprompter window on a display Loom is not recording — or capture only the demo window.
- Record. If you need a face-to-camera take on iPhone instead, use the GoTeleprompter iPhone app to read and record in one pass.

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 tool — handy when Loom and cues share one laptop.
- Script the intro heavily; use short cues while clicking through the product.
- Do not capture the full desktop if the prompter or PiP is visible on it.
- Browser test recording in the web tool caps at 60 seconds — use Loom (or the iPhone or Mac app) for longer takes.

FAQ
- Will people see my teleprompter in Loom?
- With GoTeleprompter for Mac, Hide from Screen Sharing (on by default) 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 do a quick test share before going live. The web teleprompter’s picture-in-picture window is never hidden, so share a single window instead of your whole screen.
- Is there a Mac app that works with Loom?
- Yes. GoTeleprompter for Mac (macOS 26 or later) floats your script above Loom, docks it under your camera, and scrolls it as you speak with Voice Follow. On Windows or Chromebook, use the free web teleprompter with picture-in-picture.
- Does picture-in-picture work with Loom?
- Yes on Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. Float the script for eye line on camera-only takes; move PiP off the captured display for screen recordings.
- Is there a built-in Loom teleprompter?
- Loom does not replace a dedicated teleprompter workflow. GoTeleprompter runs beside Loom: the Mac app floats under your camera, and the free web teleprompter works in any browser. No Loom account connection required.
- Can I use this on Windows for Loom?
- Yes. Open the free web teleprompter in Chrome or Edge next to Loom, then use PiP if you want. There is no native Windows GoTeleprompter app.
- Should I use the Mac app, the web tool, or the iPhone app for Loom?
- On a Mac, use the Mac app: it sits under your camera, follows your voice, and can be hidden from recordings in apps that respect it (do a quick test recording first). On Windows or Chromebook, use the free web tool. Use the iPhone or iPad app when you want to film a talking-head video with the script over the camera.
- Is GoTeleprompter free?
- The web teleprompter is completely free. The iPhone, iPad, and Mac apps are free for up to 2 scripts, including Voice Follow. One Pro subscription unlocks unlimited scripts on all your Apple devices.
