Teleprompter for StreamYard
Run a live show in StreamYard with your rundown right under the camera. On Mac, GoTeleprompter floats above the studio and follows your voice. On Windows or Chromebook, use the free web teleprompter beside the stream.
Below: the setup with the GoTeleprompter Mac app, how Hide from Screen Sharing behaves in StreamYard, 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 StreamYard on Mac
- Open your script in GoTeleprompter for Mac and turn on Float on Top so it stays above StreamYard, 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 StreamYard to confirm the prompter is not visible.
Is the prompter hidden in StreamYard?
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 StreamYard 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
- Creators hosting live shows and interviews in StreamYard
- Brands running webinars with guest banners and scenes
- Hosts who need openers, CTAs, and sponsor reads on cue
- Teams that already use a dual-monitor desk
Free option: the web teleprompter with StreamYard
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 show flow (cold open, segments, CTAs, close) into the web teleprompter.
- Open picture-in-picture (Chrome/Edge/Firefox) and keep that floating window off StreamYard’s shared screens — or use a second monitor / phone beside the webcam.
- Build the StreamYard broadcast as usual with camera, guests, and slides.
- Scroll at meeting pace (~120–130 WPM) for hosts; pause when guests talk.
- Hit your scripted CTA and close from the prompter so the ask is clear.

Tips that keep delivery natural
- PiP is the convenient one-laptop cue list for live hosts without a second display.
- Sponsor reads and URLs belong on the prompter so you do not misstate them.
- Do not present the teleprompter tab as a StreamYard screen share.

FAQ
- Will people see my teleprompter in StreamYard?
