Pair Camo's Pro Webcam With A Mac Teleprompter
Camo turns your iPhone into a pro-grade webcam for your Mac, beating most built-in cameras handily. It's the camera, not the script reader — and the feed shows up in Zoom, Meet, OBS, and beyond. Telepront is a free native Mac teleprompter that floats above any app using the Camo virtual camera. Camo only captures your iPhone, so the floating script panel stays invisible.
See It in Action
Camo unlocked something obvious in retrospect: your iPhone's main camera beats almost every laptop webcam. Camo Studio runs on your Mac and turns the phone into a proper virtual camera that any app can pick up — Zoom, Google Meet, OBS, Riverside, you name it. The combo gives you DSLR-quality video on a setup that fits in a backpack.
What Camo doesn't do is help you remember your script. Telepront does. It runs as a floating macOS panel above any app, including the apps that consume Camo's virtual camera. Mount your iPhone on a tripod or stand directly in front of your Mac, then place the Telepront panel on the Mac screen behind the phone. Your gaze appears to look at the lens because the script is right behind it.
Nothing about the prompter enters the Camo feed. Camo captures the iPhone's camera and microphone (or your Mac's), processes them through Camo Studio's effects pipeline, and exposes them as a virtual camera. The Telepront overlay lives in macOS's window system on your Mac display — it's never part of what Camo encodes.
Voice tracking is fully on-device, so you can use Telepront for high-stakes recordings without worrying about audio leaving your machine. The combo of iPhone camera quality plus a properly placed teleprompter is what professional newsrooms have used for years, scaled down to a one-person remote setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the teleprompter show up in apps using Camo?
No. Camo's virtual camera streams the iPhone feed, not your Mac screen, so the overlay never enters the video.
Does it work with Camo on a tripod-mounted iPhone?
Yes — that's the ideal setup. Place Telepront on your Mac display directly behind the phone for perfect eyeline.
Can I use Camo's effects and Telepront together?
Yes. Camo handles the camera; Telepront handles the script. They don't overlap functionally.
Does it work with Camo's free tier?
Telepront is fully free and doesn't depend on Camo's subscription level.
Will it interfere with Camo Studio's frame rate?
No. Telepront is lightweight and won't slow Camo's high-frame-rate iPhone feed.
