Look at the camera on every call.

Pitches, webinars, all-hands updates — the people on the other side can tell when you’re reading from a doc off to the side. CameraPrompter puts your notes in a window right under your webcam, so you deliver them looking at them.

How to use a teleprompter with Zoom

The same setup works for Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, and any other call software.

01

Open CameraPrompter in a browser window

Not a screen share - just a normal window on your side. Nobody on the call sees it.

02

Put the words next to the lens

Park the window under your camera, or better: tuck the script into a small text box on whichever edge of the screen your camera sits - top, corner, or side - so your eyes stay right by the lens.

03

Talk through your points

Scroll manually, at a fixed speed, or let voice scroll follow you as you speak - it pauses when the client starts talking, because you did.

On Windows: use the virtual camera and go full screen

The Windows desktop app registers a "CameraPrompter" virtual camera, so the prompter and the call stop fighting over your screen - and your webcam.

01

Turn on the virtual camera in the desktop app

One switch in the device settings. CameraPrompter takes your webcam and republishes the clean feed - your video, no script text - as a camera named "CameraPrompter".

02

Select "CameraPrompter" as your camera in Zoom

Zoom, Teams, Meet, and OBS all see it like any other camera. The call gets your normal video; the script overlay stays on your side only.

03

Run the prompter as big as you like

No more smooshing the window up against the lens. Go full screen with your own feed behind the words, tuck the text by the camera, and read.

Notes are fine. Reading off-screen isn’t.

Nobody expects you to memorize a product demo or a quarterly update. The problem is where the notes live: a doc on your second monitor pulls your eyes sideways every few seconds, and on camera that reads as distracted — or worse, as reading.

A prompter window under the lens fixes the geometry. Your eyes stay within a couple of degrees of the camera, which on a video call is indistinguishable from eye contact. Same notes, same you — different presence.

CameraPrompter is free for exactly this: the full prompter, adjustable speed, and five synced scripts cost nothing and there’s nothing to install on a work machine. Pro adds voice scroll that follows your delivery hands-free.

Built for talking to people, not just cameras

Invisible to the call.

It’s a window on your screen, not a plugin or overlay in the call itself. Share a different window or screen as usual.

Virtual camera.

The Windows app feeds your clean video to Zoom or Teams as a "CameraPrompter" camera - both apps share the webcam, and the script never leaves your screen.

Text where your camera is.

Tuck the script into a small box on the edge nearest the lens instead of resizing windows. Your gaze lands where the camera is.

Voice scroll.

Your talking points advance as you cover them, and hold when the conversation takes over. (Pro)

Works on locked-down machines.

Corporate laptop with no install rights? It’s a browser tab.

Smart timers.

Keep the demo inside its 15-minute slot with a countdown you can see without looking away.

Frequently asked questions

Can people on the call see my teleprompter?

No. CameraPrompter is just a window on your screen. As long as you share a different window or screen (or nothing), it’s invisible to everyone else on the call.

Does it work with Microsoft Teams and Google Meet too?

Yes. The setup is identical for Zoom, Teams, Meet, Webex, or any call software: put the prompter window directly under your camera and keep the call’s video windows elsewhere. The Windows virtual camera works the same way in all of them, too.

How does the virtual camera work?

The CameraPrompter desktop app for Windows registers a virtual camera. Turn it on and CameraPrompter takes your webcam feed and republishes it - clean, without the script overlay - as a camera called "CameraPrompter" that you select inside Zoom, Teams, Meet, or OBS. You read full screen; the call just sees you.

Won’t Zoom and the teleprompter fight over my webcam?

Not with the virtual camera. Normally only one app can hold a webcam at a time. With the Windows desktop app, CameraPrompter holds the physical camera and passes the video through to the call, so you get the overlay on your side and Zoom gets your feed - simultaneously.

Is a teleprompter for Zoom calls free?

Yes - the free plan covers call use completely: full prompter, adjustable speed, timers, and 5 synced scripts, in the browser with no install. Voice-activated scrolling is part of Pro ($12.99/year, first 7 days free).

How do I make it look like I’m making eye contact?

Move the text to the lens. CameraPrompter can tuck the script into a small box on any edge or corner of the display, so you put it exactly where your camera sits - no window-resizing gymnastics. The narrower the gap between the words and the lens, the more your gaze reads as eye contact.

Can I use it for a webinar I’m recording?

Yes - and if you record webinars or courses outside call software, Pro’s built-in recorder can capture the take right in the browser while the script scrolls over your camera feed.

Your next call, eyes up.
