Sleek Teleprompter for 24-Inch iMac M1 to M4

The 24 inch iMac is one of the most photogenic machines anyone can record from, and Telepront makes the most of it. The 4.5K Retina screen renders text crisply at any size, the 1080p FaceTime HD camera sits perfectly placed for a teleprompter rig, and Apple Silicon keeps the whole experience silent.

See It in Action

The 24 inch iMac was designed around the camera at the top of the screen, which makes it the simplest teleprompter rig in the Apple lineup. Telepront places the floating panel right under that 1080p FaceTime HD camera so your eyes stay locked on the lens while reading.\nThe Retina display makes text rendering effortless. Telepront uses native AppKit text layout, so even at small sizes glyphs are sharp, and at large sizes there is no shimmer or banding when scrolling. On macOS 15 the panel respects the new window tiling system, and on Stage Manager it can stay floating while other apps cycle behind it.\nApple Silicon does the heavy lifting. M1, M3 and the upcoming M4 iMacs all run Telepront with under one percent CPU at idle, leaving headroom for FaceTime, Zoom, QuickTime and Loom to record at full quality. Because the iMac has only one display, the floating panel takes care to never block your camera preview thumbnail.\nFor families, schools, journalists and creators who chose the iMac for its simplicity, Telepront keeps that simplicity intact. Open the app, paste a script, position the panel and record. Nothing else to configure.

Tips from Creators

Park the panel 1 to 2 cm below the camera bezel and centred horizontally so your gaze reads as direct eye contact.

At a typical 60 cm desk distance, 40 to 48 pt is large enough to read without leaning forward.

Keep the panel only 4 lines tall so your eyes stay near the lens rather than drifting down the screen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work on the original M1 iMac?

Yes. As long as the iMac is on macOS 14 Sonoma or newer, Telepront runs natively.

What about the 1080p FaceTime HD camera position?

It sits centred at the top of the bezel, which is the ideal place for a teleprompter panel just below it.

Can I use a USB microphone for voice scrolling instead of the built-in array?

Yes. Any input macOS recognises, including USB and Bluetooth microphones, can drive voice tracking.

Will it work on the rumoured M4 iMac when it arrives?

It already supports M4 chips and macOS 15, so any M4 iMac will be supported on day one.

Do I need to grant any permissions?

Only Speech Recognition and Microphone, and only if you enable voice scrolling. Both run on-device.
