Deliver Teams presentations with a floating teleprompter
Microsoft Teams meetings often involve presenter view, screen sharing, and PowerPoint Live, which makes reading from notes a juggling act. Telepront is a free native macOS teleprompter that floats above Teams without interfering with sharing controls. On-device voice tracking and a clean Swift interface keep your delivery polished.
See It in Action
Microsoft Teams is the backbone of corporate communication on macOS, but reading detailed scripts during executive briefings, training sessions, or all-hands meetings has always been clunky. Telepront solves the problem by running as a separate, native macOS window that always stays on top, regardless of whether you are in a one-on-one call or hosting a 500-person webinar inside Teams.\nTeams' presenter view in PowerPoint Live can take over the screen, but Telepront's window-on-top behavior keeps your script visible without intercepting clicks meant for Teams controls. You can present slides, see the chat, monitor reactions, and read your script all simultaneously, which is the kind of workflow Teams itself does not provide.\nVoice tracking uses Apple's on-device speech recognition, so audio never leaves the laptop. That matters in regulated industries where Teams is approved but third-party cloud transcription is not. There is no account, no API key, and no telemetry on what you say.\nTelepront does not record. Use Teams' built-in recording, a Mac screen recorder, or a hardware camera. The app focuses on a single job: making your delivery sound natural and unrushed, with adjustable speed, font size, and mirror mode for those who use beam splitters.
Key Features
How to Get Started
Download Telepront from the Mac App Store
App Store id 6759193513. The app is free and requires macOS 14 or later on M1, M2, M3, or M4 Macs.
Prepare your Teams script in Telepront
Paste your full talking points and adjust font size and speed. Use line breaks to mark slide transitions.
Start the Teams meeting and share content
Open the Teams app, start your meeting, and share PowerPoint Live or a specific window. Telepront stays above without being shared.
Anchor Telepront near your camera
Snap the panel to the top of your screen below the webcam so your eye line stays near the lens during presenter view.
Speak and adjust opacity as needed
Voice tracking auto-scrolls. Lower opacity if you need to read Teams chat through the script during long meetings.
Tips from Creators
Set Telepront opacity to 75 percent so Teams' raised hands and chat indicators remain readable behind the script.
Use 40pt or larger font for hour-long Teams calls so you do not strain your eyes from reading distance.
Park Telepront within two centimeters of the FaceTime HD camera to maintain eye contact during presenter view.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Telepront work with the Teams Mac app?
Yes. Telepront floats above any macOS application, including the native Teams desktop client and the Teams web app in any browser.
Will my teleprompter show up when I share my screen in Teams?
Only if you share your entire desktop. Share a specific window or PowerPoint Live and Telepront stays invisible to attendees.
Is microphone access required?
Voice tracking needs mic and speech recognition permission, which macOS prompts for once. All recognition stays on-device with no cloud.
Can I use Telepront on a Windows PC for Teams?
No. Telepront is macOS only and requires macOS 14+ on Apple Silicon. There is no Windows version.
Does it work across multiple monitors?
Yes. Drag Telepront to any connected display and it remembers position. Many users keep it on the laptop screen while sharing from an external monitor.
