Run a Mac teleprompter in Discord stage channels
Discord stage channels and screen shares have become the de facto venue for community town halls, AMAs, and indie podcasts. Telepront is a free native macOS teleprompter that floats above the Discord app with on-device voice tracking, so creators can run polished sessions without leaving Discord.
See It in Action
Discord stage channels have become a real venue for community events: AMAs, panels, indie podcast tapings, even paid workshops. Discord itself does not provide any speaker tools beyond mute and raise-hand. Telepront fills that gap by sitting on top of the Discord client as a native macOS window that scrolls at your speaking pace.\nFor voice channels with video, position Telepront under your camera so your eyes stay near the lens. For Go Live screen shares, place it on the side away from whatever you are sharing. Adjustable opacity lets the script blend with the Discord interface so you can still see who is raising hands, who joined the stage, or who reacted.\nApple's on-device speech recognition powers auto-scroll. There is no cloud, no API token, and no Discord bot to install. The recognition runs locally on Apple Silicon, so your unreleased podcast episode or pre-launch product demo never travels to a third party.\nTelepront is not a recorder. Discord has Go Live and many indie creators record locally with OBS or Audio Hijack. Telepront layers on top of all of that with mirror mode, adjustable speed, and consistent settings between sessions, so your stage channel runs feel as polished as a studio show.
Key Features
How to Get Started
Install Telepront from the Mac App Store
App Store id 6759193513. Free, requires macOS 14+ on Apple Silicon.
Prepare your Discord stage script
Paste talking points or show notes into Telepront. Tune font size and scroll speed for your delivery style.
Join the Discord stage or voice channel
Open Discord, join the stage as a speaker or start a Go Live in a voice channel. Telepront keeps floating.
Position Telepront for your setup
If using video, snap under the camera. For audio-only stages, place it center-screen for easy reading.
Run the session with on-device voice tracking
Speak naturally and the script scrolls in real time. Use a keyboard shortcut to pause for audience Q&A.
Tips from Creators
Drop opacity to 70 percent during Go Live so reactions and chat float through the script subtly.
Use 32-40pt font for long Discord stage AMAs so eye fatigue does not creep in over an hour.
Anchor the panel within an inch of your camera so your eye line tracks naturally on video voice channels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Telepront work with Discord stage channels?
Yes. Stage channels, voice channels with video, and Go Live screen shares all work with Telepront's floating window.
Will Discord viewers see the teleprompter on Go Live?
Only if you share your full desktop. Share a specific app or game window and Telepront stays invisible to your audience.
Is it suitable for Discord podcasting?
Yes. Many indie podcasters record their host's audio via Discord and run Telepront on top to keep show notes scrolling on-device.
Do I need to grant mic permission?
Yes, for voice tracking. macOS prompts once and recognition runs locally on Apple Silicon. Discord uses its own mic permission separately.
What Mac is required?
Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) Mac running macOS 14 or later. Intel Macs are not supported.
