Read your script while streaming with OBS Studio

Transparent overlay that sits on top of OBS — your viewers never see it

OBS Studio is the go-to tool for streamers and video creators. But reading a script while managing scenes, alerts, and chat is a juggling act. Transparent Teleprompter overlays your script directly on top of OBS — you read naturally while your audience sees nothing but your content.

How to set it up

1

Open OBS Studio

Launch OBS and set up your scene with your camera source, overlays, and any other elements you need.

2

Launch Transparent Teleprompter

Open the app, paste or write your script, and customize font size, color, and scrolling speed.

3

Position over OBS preview

Drag the teleprompter window over the OBS preview area. Adjust transparency so you can see both your script and the OBS interface beneath it.

4

Start scrolling and record

Hit play on the teleprompter, then start your stream or recording in OBS. Read naturally as the text scrolls.

Tips for best results

Use Studio Mode

OBS Studio Mode lets you preview scene changes before they go live. Position the teleprompter over the Preview panel so you can read while preparing transitions.

Set transparency to 40-60%

This sweet spot lets you see your script clearly while still monitoring OBS alerts, chat, and scene status underneath.

Use a larger font for distance

If your camera is further away, bump the font size to 32-40px so you can read without squinting or leaning forward.

Popular use cases

Frequently asked questions

Will my viewers see the teleprompter in the stream?

No. The teleprompter is a transparent overlay on YOUR screen only. OBS captures your camera feed and scene sources — not desktop overlays. Your audience sees only your stream content.

Does it work with OBS on multiple monitors?

Yes. You can position the teleprompter on any monitor. Many users keep OBS on one screen and the teleprompter on a second monitor near their camera.

Can I control scrolling with hotkeys?

You can use the floating control bar to play/pause and adjust speed. Position it in a corner of your screen where it won't interfere with OBS controls.
