Is there a Mac app that works with OBS Studio?

Yes. GoTeleprompter for Mac (macOS 26 or later) floats your script above OBS Studio, 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.

How do I keep the teleprompter off my OBS stream?

Do not add the teleprompter window, PiP, or its display as an OBS source. Prefer window-capture only the application you want viewers to see, or a second monitor for the script.

Does picture-in-picture work with OBS?

Yes as a private cue window on Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. Keep it out of the scene. If you use display capture of the same monitor, PiP can appear on stream.

Can I add the teleprompter as a browser source?

You could, but then viewers would see it. For a private prompt, keep it out of the scene entirely.

Does GoTeleprompter integrate with OBS?

No plugin is required. It is a normal browser page (or Document PiP) you place outside the captured sources.

Does this work on Windows for OBS?

Yes. Run OBS and the free web teleprompter side by side in your browser. No native Windows teleprompter app is needed.

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.

Teleprompter for OBS Studio

Read a script while OBS records or streams. On Mac, GoTeleprompter floats above everything, docks under your webcam, and follows your voice, without ever being added as an OBS source. On Windows, the free web teleprompter works on a second display or in picture-in-picture.

Below: the setup with the GoTeleprompter Mac app, how Hide from Screen Sharing behaves in OBS Studio, 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 OBS Studio on Mac

Open your script in GoTeleprompter for Mac and turn on Float on Top so it stays above OBS Studio, 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 OBS Studio to confirm the prompter is not visible.

Is the prompter hidden in OBS Studio?

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 OBS Studio before going live.

MAC APP

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+.

Free option: the web teleprompter with OBS Studio

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 and load your outline or full script.
Use picture-in-picture (Chrome/Edge/Firefox) so the floating script stays on your desk but is not an OBS source — or put the browser on a monitor OBS is not capturing.
Build your OBS scene as usual (camera, display capture of the demo app, browser source for slides — not the teleprompter tab or PiP).
Set WPM to match the format (slower for teaching, a bit faster for energetic streams).
Start OBS recording/streaming, then start the teleprompter scroll. Pause when you go off-script.

Tips that keep delivery natural

PiP is convenient on a single PC, but full display capture can still pick it up — prefer window capture of the app you demo.
A phone beside the webcam works well for talking-head scenes.
Mirror H/V in the web tool if you ever put the browser behind glass — most OBS desk setups will not need mirror.
