Run professional StreamYard shows with a script

Overlay your show rundown on StreamYard's browser-based studio

Running a StreamYard show means being two people at once: the host welcoming guests, and the producer cueing banners, lower thirds, and transitions. Holding the rundown in your head while doing both is a losing game. Drop it into a transparent overlay instead — stage times, interview questions, sponsor reads, segment transitions — and read from the browser window while StreamYard handles the production side.

How to set it up

1

Open StreamYard in your browser

Navigate to StreamYard and enter your broadcast studio.

2

Load your show rundown

Open Transparent Teleprompter and paste your full show outline — segments, timestamps, interview questions, and transitions.

3

Overlay on the browser

Position the teleprompter over the StreamYard window. Since StreamYard runs in a browser, the overlay sits perfectly on top.

4

Run your show

Go live and follow your rundown. Scroll through segments as you progress through the show.

Tips for best results

Include timestamps in your script

Write '0:00 - Intro, 5:00 - Guest welcome, 15:00 - Topic 1' so you can pace your show effectively.

Prepare interview questions

Load your guest interview questions so you always have a thoughtful follow-up ready.

Use lower transparency for text-heavy shows

If your script is dense, use 30-40% transparency so the text is crisp and easy to scan quickly.

Popular use cases

Multi-guest interview shows
Podcast simulcasts to YouTube and Facebook
Corporate webinars and product launches
Community Q&A live streams
Educational workshops and panels

Frequently asked questions

Will guests in the Green Room or my multi-platform simulcast see the overlay?

No. StreamYard routes each participant's webcam through the browser and composes the stage layout server-side. Your desktop isn't transmitted to the Green Room, the live output, or any of the platforms you multistream to — LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, or X. Guests see only your camera feed.

Can I use it with StreamYard's free plan?

Yes. The teleprompter works independently of StreamYard's plan. It's a separate desktop app that overlays on any window.

What about StreamYard's built-in notes?

StreamYard has a private chat for notes, but it's small and easy to miss. The teleprompter gives you a full-screen, scrollable script overlay with adjustable size and transparency.
