Host webinars on Mac with a teleprompter that keeps your pace human
Webinars live or die on pacing. Forty-five minutes is a long time to ad-lib while watching chat, switching slides, and answering questions. Telepront is a free native macOS teleprompter that floats over Zoom, Webex, GoTo, or Riverside and follows your voice using Apple's on-device speech engine. Load your script, set the panel narrow next to your camera, and host a webinar that feels rehearsed without sounding read.
See It in Action
Webinar scripts are not movie scripts. They breathe. A good 45-minute webinar usually has a 6-minute intro, three 10-minute teaching blocks, two 3-minute transition stories, and a 5-minute close before Q&A. Writing those beats out longhand and rehearsing once is the difference between a webinar that converts and one that wanders.\nTelepront sits in a corner of your screen while you present from Keynote, slides shared in Zoom, or a browser demo. Because the panel is always-on-top, you do not have to alt-tab away from your slides to glance at the next line. Eye contact stays roughly aligned with your camera, which keeps attendees engaged instead of watching you read.\nApple's on-device speech recognition means nothing leaves your Mac. That matters for paid webinars where the script may include unreleased product details, customer names, or pricing. The recognizer auto-scrolls the script at your pace, so if you slow down to emphasize a point or speed up through a familiar section, the prompter follows.\nFor recurring webinar series, save each script as a separate document. Open the same template every Tuesday, swap in the new examples, and present from a structure your audience already trusts. Consistency at scale is the real benefit once you run more than four or five webinars.

Tips from Creators
Mark Q&A break points in the script with all-caps cues like [PAUSE FOR POLL] so you can stop scrolling cleanly
Keep paragraphs under 40 words to give your eyes a clear landing spot when you look at the camera
Rehearse the first 90 seconds twice — that's where most webinar attendees decide whether to stay
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my webinar attendees see the teleprompter?
No. Telepront's floating panel is local to your Mac and is hidden from screenshare in most webinar tools. You can also lower opacity to make it nearly invisible if you do share your full screen.
Can I host a 60-minute webinar from one script?
Yes. Paste the full script as one document. Telepront scrolls smoothly as you speak, and you can manually nudge if you want to skip a section live.
Does it record the webinar for me?
No. Telepront only displays your script and tracks your voice. Use Zoom's cloud recording, OBS, or a dedicated recorder to capture the session.
What if a Q&A goes off-script?
Pause the prompter, answer the question conversationally, then resume. Speech tracking will pick up wherever you re-enter the script.
Is it really free for professional webinars?
Yes. Telepront is free on the Mac App Store with no upgrade tier or recurring fee.
