Teleprompter for Zoom and video calls
Your notes, right next to the lens.
Everyone on a video call can tell when you are reading from somewhere else on the screen. Your eyes track sideways, you go quiet at the wrong moments, and a well-prepared pitch starts to look like a hostage note. The fix is not to prepare less — it is to put the words where your camera already is.
A browser teleprompter positioned just under your webcam keeps your gaze within a few degrees of the lens. For a sales pitch, an interview panel, a board update or a webinar, that small change is the difference between reading at people and talking to them.
Why it works for video calls
- Keep your eyes on the lens instead of tracking across the screen.
- Works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex and any browser call.
- Nothing to install — useful on locked-down work laptops.
- Your notes stay invisible to everyone else on the call.
Recommended settings
Call delivery should sound spontaneous, so keep the prompter small, close to the lens, and slower than you think.
- Scroll speed
- 120–140 wpm. On a call you want to sound like you're thinking, not reciting.
- Font size
- 32–48 px — smaller than usual, because the window sits close to your face and needs to stay narrow.
- Display
- Match your room: white on black in a dim home office, black on white if you're lit by a window.
Setting it up in a minute
Open the prompter in its own browser window and resize it into a narrow strip directly beneath your webcam — top of the screen, not the bottom, so your eyes stay level with the lens. Start your call as usual. When you share your screen, share the specific application window for your slides rather than the entire desktop, and the prompter stays private. If your laptop camera sits at the top of the display, put the prompter window immediately below it and drag it as narrow as it will comfortably go.
