Is there a Mac app that works with Riverside?

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

Yes on Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. Float question cues near the lens; keep PiP off any display capture into Riverside.

Should I script the whole interview?

No. Use short question prompts and transition lines. Full scripts make interviews sound stiff when the guest goes somewhere interesting.

Does this work on Windows with Riverside?

Yes. Run the free web teleprompter in your browser next to Riverside. There is no native Windows GoTeleprompter app.

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 Riverside Interviews

Keep interview questions and intros near the lens in Riverside. On Mac, GoTeleprompter floats under your camera and scrolls as you speak. On Windows or Chromebook, the free web teleprompter floats beside the studio tab.

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

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

Is the prompter hidden in Riverside?

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 Riverside 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 Riverside

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.

Load questions and transitions as short blocks in the web teleprompter — leave room to improvise between cues.
Open picture-in-picture (Chrome/Edge/Firefox) and place the floating script beside Riverside near the webcam — or use a second monitor / phone.
Join Riverside as usual. Do not share or display-capture the teleprompter (or PiP) into the studio layout.
Use a large font and slower WPM so you can glance, not read every word.
Skip ahead in the cue list when a guest answers a later question early; pause when the conversation runs.

Tips that keep delivery natural

PiP is the convenient one-laptop cue card for hosts who do not want paper notes.
Order questions by priority, not a rigid sequence you cannot break.
Hosts need cues; guests often need only a few proof points.
For long-form shows, see the podcast teleprompter guide for intro/ad patterns.
