Pair Telepront With QuickTime Movie Recording On Mac
QuickTime Player is the simplest recorder on every Mac, with no editing complexity to get in the way. Telepront completes the setup with a free teleprompter that floats above QuickTime's controls and scrolls to your voice.
See It in Action
QuickTime is the unsung hero of Mac recording. Built in, free, and fast, it covers webcam, screen, and audio captures without any setup. The one thing it doesn't do is read your script. That's where Telepront slots in.\nFor a webcam recording, open QuickTime's File menu and choose New Movie Recording. Position Telepront just below the QuickTime preview window so your gaze stays close to the lens. Voice tracking does the rest.\nFor screen recordings, the trick is QuickTime's area-selection mode. Drag a box around the demo area, leave Telepront outside it, and QuickTime captures only the region you chose. Your script stays visible to you and invisible to viewers.\nAudio-only recordings give you the most freedom. Open New Audio Recording in QuickTime, place Telepront wherever it's most comfortable, and record podcasts, voiceovers, or audiobooks with smooth voice-tracked pacing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does QuickTime Player have a teleprompter?
No. QuickTime is intentionally minimal: record movie, screen, or audio. Telepront adds the script-reading layer it lacks.
Will QuickTime capture my Telepront window?
Only if you record the entire screen. Use QuickTime's selected-area screen recording and keep Telepront outside the chosen area.
Can I use Telepront with QuickTime new movie recording?
Yes. New movie records your webcam, and Telepront docks just below the camera so your eyes barely leave the lens.
Does QuickTime audio recording work with Telepront?
Yes. Audio-only sessions are perfect for Telepront because you can place the panel anywhere on screen without worrying about visuals.
Is there a cost to using QuickTime and Telepront together?
Neither costs anything. QuickTime is free with macOS, and Telepront is free on the Mac App Store with no subscription.
