Is there a Mac app that works with Zoom?

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

Yes. On Chrome, Edge, or Firefox, open Document picture-in-picture from the web teleprompter and place the floating script beside Zoom. That is usually the easiest one-laptop meeting setup. PiP is not available in Safari or on mobile browsers.

What speed should I use for Zoom presentations?

About 120–130 WPM. Meetings run slower than social video, so a deliberate pace leaves room to pause and emphasize.

Can I use my iPhone as the teleprompter while Zoom is on my laptop?

Yes. Mount the phone beside the laptop webcam, open GoTeleprompter on iPhone in prompter mode (recording optional), and keep Zoom on the laptop camera.

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 Zoom Meetings

Read talking points on Zoom without looking away. On Mac, GoTeleprompter floats your script above the call, docks it under your camera, scrolls as you speak, and can be hidden from screen sharing. On Windows, the free web teleprompter floats beside Zoom.

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

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

Is the prompter hidden in Zoom?

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 Zoom before going live.

MAC APP

Float your script above the call, scroll it with your voice, and keep it off the shared screen.

Free option: the web teleprompter with Zoom

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 free GoTeleprompter web teleprompter and paste your talking points (opening, proof points, transitions, close — not every conversational aside).
Set font size to about 30–40 pt and speed to 120–130 WPM so you can read at arm’s length without rushing.
Open picture-in-picture (Chrome, Edge, or Firefox) and drag the floating script beside Zoom near the webcam — the most convenient single-monitor setup for meetings. Or use a second monitor under the webcam, or a phone mounted beside the laptop camera.
Join Zoom. When you share, pick a specific window (slides, browser demo, or Zoom) — not the full desktop and not the teleprompter tab.
Start scroll just before you speak. Pause with space/tap during Q&A, then resume when you return to script.
