Use a Teleprompter While Recording on iPhone

Recording with your iPhone but need a teleprompter? Open Telepront on your Mac and position it behind your iPhone. The floating panel shows your script at a readable distance while the AI tracks your voice.

See It in Action

Many creators record video on their iPhone but write and plan scripts on their Mac. Using a teleprompter on your Mac while recording with your iPhone gives you the best of both worlds — the superior camera quality of the iPhone with the larger, easier-to-read text display of your Mac screen.

Set up your iPhone on a tripod near your Mac screen and position the teleprompter overlay where your iPhone camera can see your face. Since the Mac handles the speech recognition and text display, your iPhone is free to focus entirely on recording high-quality video without running any extra apps.

How to Get Started

1

Mount your iPhone on a tripod

Position it at eye level, near the top of your Mac screen for natural eye contact.

2

Launch the teleprompter on your Mac

Paste your script and position the floating panel near where your iPhone camera is.

3

Start recording on iPhone first

Begin your iPhone recording, then start the teleprompter — sync in editing later.

4

Speak toward the iPhone lens

Read from the Mac teleprompter while looking toward the iPhone camera mounted nearby.

Tips from Creators

Mount your iPhone directly above or below your Mac screen so the teleprompter text and camera are in the same sight line.

Use Continuity Camera if you want to use your iPhone as a Mac webcam — the teleprompter works great with this setup.

Record in 4K on iPhone and use the Mac teleprompter for the script — best quality combo.
