A teleprompter for your Mac, right under the camera.

Your MacBook’s camera sits at the top of the screen — which is exactly where CameraPrompter puts your words. Read every line looking straight down the lens, in Safari or Chrome, with nothing to install.

How to use a teleprompter on your Mac

01

Open cameraprompter.app

Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge - they all work. Sign in and your script library is there.

02

Position the window high

Drag the browser window to the top of the screen so the scrolling text sits just below the camera. The closer the words, the straighter your gaze.

03

Read - and record if you like

The camera overlay shows you your own framing while you read. On Pro, hit record and capture the take right in the browser, no OBS required.

For MacBook webcam videos and full camera rigs alike

Recording straight to the MacBook camera is the fastest setup there is: one device, one window, done. The camera overlay means you’re watching your own take while you read — no more discovering in review that you were framed from the chin up.

Filming on a mirrorless or DSLR instead? Run CameraPrompter on the Mac positioned under or beside the lens, or send it to the display inside a hood rig like the Elgato Prompter. USB and HDMI cameras through a capture card work with the built-in recorder too.

Presenting on a call instead of recording? CameraPrompter doubles as a notes prompter for Zoom, Teams, and Meet — same trick, live audience.

Why creators run it on the Mac

Camera overlay.

Your feed behind your words - delivery and framing in the same glance.

In-browser recording.

Record the take right in the tab. No capture software, no watermarks. (Pro)

Voice scroll.

The script follows your voice. Pause, sip your coffee, ad-lib - it waits for you. (Pro)

Keyboard shortcuts.

Start, stop, speed up, slow down - without reaching for the mouse mid-take.

External displays.

Cast the prompter to a second screen or hood rig while you control it from the Mac.

Cloud script library.

Write in your office, film in your kitchen. Scripts follow your account, not your machine.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free teleprompter for Mac?

Yes. CameraPrompter runs free in any Mac browser - Safari, Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. The free plan has the full prompter, camera overlay, adjustable speed, timers, and 5 cloud-synced scripts, with no watermarks.

Do I need to download anything on my Mac?

No. It runs entirely in the browser. There’s also a desktop app if you prefer a dedicated window, but the browser version is the same product.

Can I record video on my Mac while reading the script?

Yes - on the Pro plan, recording is built into the browser. It captures your camera (including USB/HDMI cameras through a capture card) while the script scrolls over the feed.

How do I keep my eyes on the MacBook camera while reading?

Put the browser window at the very top of the screen, directly under the camera, and shrink the window height so the text sits close to the lens. At normal sitting distance the gap becomes invisible to viewers.

Does it work with an external camera on a Mac?

Yes. Any camera macOS can see - built-in, USB webcam, or a mirrorless/DSLR through a capture card like Elgato Cam Link - can be both your overlay preview and your recording source.
