Use a Teleprompter with OBS

OBS Studio is the go-to for recording and streaming. Telepront sits on top of OBS as a floating macOS panel — invisible to your viewers but always visible to you. The AI tracks your voice and scrolls at your pace.

See It in Action

OBS is the go-to recording and streaming tool for creators, but it doesn't have a built-in teleprompter. Most creators end up using a browser source or a second monitor, both of which are clunky solutions. A browser source means managing another window inside OBS, and a second monitor means your eyes are clearly looking away from the camera.

A native floating panel that sits on top of OBS is the cleanest solution. It hovers over your OBS preview without being captured by window-specific sources. You can see your script, your OBS preview, and your camera feed all at once. No extra monitors, no browser windows, no OBS plugins.

How to Get Started

1

Open OBS and set up your scene

Configure your camera, overlays, and sources before launching the teleprompter.

2

Use Window Capture, not Display Capture

Window Capture grabs only the OBS preview — the floating teleprompter won't appear in your recording.

3

Position the panel over your OBS preview

Place it near the area where you see your camera feed so your eye line stays natural.

4

Start recording or streaming

Hit record in OBS, then start the teleprompter — they work independently.

Tips from Creators

Always use Window Capture in OBS if you don't want the teleprompter visible in your recording.

If you use Display Capture, the teleprompter will appear — move it off-screen or to another display before going live.

OBS Studio's Preview mode lets you see your output — check that the teleprompter isn't accidentally captured.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will OBS capture the teleprompter?

Not if you use Window Capture for your camera source. The teleprompter is a separate window.

Does it affect OBS performance?

No. Telepront is lightweight and native — it has negligible CPU impact.
