Teleprompter for Microsoft Teams
Stay on message in Teams meetings and town halls. On Mac, GoTeleprompter floats your script above Teams, right under the camera, and can be hidden from screen sharing. On Windows, use the free web teleprompter with picture-in-picture.
Below: the setup with the GoTeleprompter Mac app, how Hide from Screen Sharing behaves in Microsoft Teams, 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 Microsoft Teams on Mac
- Open your script in GoTeleprompter for Mac and turn on Float on Top so it stays above Microsoft Teams, 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 Microsoft Teams to confirm the prompter is not visible.
Is the prompter hidden in Microsoft Teams?
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 Microsoft Teams 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
- Enterprise presenters on browser or desktop Teams
- Account teams running structured renewal or demo calls
- Internal trainers delivering the same deck repeatedly
Free option: the web teleprompter with Microsoft Teams
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.
- Paste your agenda into the web teleprompter: exact open and close, short cue blocks for the middle.
- Use 120–130 WPM and large type. Open Document PiP on Chrome/Edge/Firefox and tuck it near the webcam — the easiest one-monitor Teams setup. Or put the full window on a second display.
- Join Teams (browser or desktop). Both work — the prompter is just another window (or PiP), not a Teams plugin.
- Share a window or PowerPoint — not the full desktop if the teleprompter or PiP is on that display.
- Pause for discussion; resume for the scripted close (decision, owner, date).
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 built into the web teleprompter for meeting desks without a second monitor.
- Corporate calls often go off-script — cue blocks beat a word-for-word monologue.
- If you mirror displays, the script can show up everywhere; use extend mode when sharing.
- Practice once with the same share settings you will use live.
