If you present on Zoom, record YouTube videos, or film talking-head content on a Mac, eye contact matters. Looking down at notes breaks connection. A Mac teleprompter that floats near your webcam lets you read while looking into the lens.
Why a floating window beats a full-screen script
Full-screen teleprompter apps force you to choose between reading and seeing your meeting or recording UI. yPrompt’s floating window sits just below your camera, stays on top of other apps, and keeps your script readable without taking over the display.
How to set up yPrompt on Mac
- Download yPrompt from the App Store and open your script.
- Enable the floating window from the toolbar.
- Drag it so the text sits directly under your webcam.
- Choose Auto, Tap, Voice, Camera, or Timed scroll to match your delivery style.
Tips for natural delivery
- Increase font size so you can sit at a comfortable distance.
- Use slightly slower scroll than your speaking pace — you’ll feel less rushed.
- For live calls, keep the window narrow so attendees stay in view.
- Pair with the Apple Watch remote when you can’t touch the keyboard.
Who this is for
Creators, coaches, executives, and educators who present on Mac and want a professional teleprompter without hardware. yPrompt also runs on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch with iCloud sync.
