Add A Free Teleprompter To vMix Talent Stations
vMix is the Windows-based production switcher many studios use, but Mac talent often join via NDI, browser, or vMix Call. Telepront is a free native Mac teleprompter that gives those Mac-side speakers a floating script panel without touching the vMix output. Since vMix only captures what its operator routes, the prompter stays invisible to the audience.
See It in Action
vMix runs on Windows in most production environments, but Mac users frequently appear in those productions as remote talent through vMix Call (a browser-based webcam contribution tool) or via NDI. The talent on the Mac side has the same problem any on-camera speaker has — they need a teleprompter that doesn't enter the program feed.
Telepront delivers exactly that. It's a free native macOS teleprompter that runs as a floating panel above any app, including the browser tab vMix Call uses or the NDI Tools window forwarding the camera. Position the panel directly under your camera and your eyeline stays locked on the lens.
vMix Call captures only the participant's webcam, just like any browser-based call. The Telepront overlay isn't part of that capture, so the production switcher and the audience never see it. NDI workflows work the same way — NDI captures the camera input from the Mac's selected camera device, not the entire desktop.
Voice tracking uses Apple's on-device speech engine. Talent can deliver complex prepared remarks at their natural pace, and the script keeps up. Because nothing leaves the talent's Mac, embargoed press announcements and pre-launch product reveals can be rehearsed and delivered on a fully local prompter pipeline.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does vMix Call capture my Mac screen?
No. vMix Call captures the participant's webcam, not the Mac screen, so the floating overlay stays private.
Can the talent on Mac use Telepront with NDI to vMix?
Yes. NDI Tools sends the camera feed; Telepront sits visually on the talent's local Mac display.
Does it work for show hosts on Macs feeding to a vMix studio?
Absolutely. Host or remote talent reads scripts locally without affecting vMix routing.
Will it conflict with vMix Call's audio capture?
No. Apple's on-device speech engine reads the system mic without intercepting vMix Call's audio.
Is it really free for professional broadcasters?
Yes. Telepront is free on the Mac App Store with no broadcast-tier limit.
