Read Scripts Live on StreamYard From Your Mac
StreamYard runs entirely in your browser and broadcasts the studio view to YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, and more. The single-tab studio leaves zero space for prepared remarks. Telepront is a free native Mac teleprompter that floats over the StreamYard tab, scrolling at the pace of your voice. Since StreamYard captures only your camera, viewers never see the script.
See It in Action
StreamYard is the easiest way to multistream from a Mac — open a browser, drop in your stream key, and broadcast to every major platform at once. The trade-off is that the StreamYard studio dominates the screen, and there is no native teleprompter inside the interface. Reading from a second monitor or a printed page breaks the camera eyeline that makes a livestream feel professional.
Telepront sits as a floating macOS panel that always stays above the StreamYard tab, regardless of how you arrange your windows. Drag it directly beneath your webcam and you'll appear to be looking straight at the audience. Resize, recolor, and adjust opacity until it disappears into your setup.
Viewers see only what StreamYard captures — your camera, your audio, your shared media. The teleprompter window never enters the broadcast. Even if you share your screen mid-stream, you can pick the specific tab to share and leave the prompter out of the feed.
Live shows demand flexible pacing. Voice tracking listens through Apple's on-device speech recognition and matches the script to your speed in real time. When a guest interrupts or you take a question from chat, scrolling pauses; when you resume, it resumes too. No latency, no cloud calls, no impact on StreamYard's outbound bandwidth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my StreamYard audience see the teleprompter?
No. StreamYard captures your webcam feed, not your screen, so the floating overlay stays private to you.
Does it work with StreamYard's screen-share feature?
Yes — StreamYard lets you choose specific tabs or windows to share, so you can exclude Telepront.
Can co-hosts also use Telepront?
Absolutely. Each Mac participant runs Telepront locally with their own script.
Does it support StreamYard On-Air Q&A segments?
Yes. Save talking-point scripts for Q&A and switch instantly between segments.
Will it work on an Intel Mac?
Telepront requires Apple Silicon (M1-M4) and macOS 14 or newer for the on-device speech engine.
