Teleprompter for Tella Recordings
Record Tella videos without memorizing. 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, use the free web teleprompter.
Below: the setup with the GoTeleprompter Mac app, how Hide from Screen Sharing behaves in Tella, 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 Tella on Mac
- Open your script in GoTeleprompter for Mac and turn on Float on Top so it stays above Tella, 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 Tella to confirm the prompter is not visible.
Is the prompter hidden in Tella?
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 Tella 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
- Product marketers recording Tella demos
- Founders who prefer Tella over Loom for branded takes
- Teams standardizing async updates
Free option: the web teleprompter with Tella
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.
- Draft a tight demo script and paste it into the web teleprompter.
- Open picture-in-picture (Chrome/Edge/Firefox) and place it outside Tella’s capture — or use a second display.
- Record in Tella as usual — camera, screen, or both — without including the prompter window or PiP.
- Use slower WPM while clicking UI; slightly faster for talking-head intros.
- For phone-only talking heads, record in the GoTeleprompter iPhone app instead, then upload if needed.
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
- PiP is convenient on one laptop; same capture discipline as Loom — never full-desktop capture with the script visible.
- Script the intro and the ask; cue the middle while you click.
- Browser test recording in GoTeleprompter is capped at 60 seconds — use Tella for longer demos.
