Read talking points naturally while maintaining eye contact on Zoom
You're halfway through a quarterly review when the name of the last metric slips your mind. The instinct is to look down at notes, or off to a second monitor, or anywhere but the camera. That half-second of lost eye contact is the difference between a confident presenter and someone winging it. Transparent Teleprompter keeps your talking points hovering over the Zoom window — close to the webcam, so the glance stays invisible.
Open Zoom and join the call. Set your camera and audio as usual.
Open Transparent Teleprompter, paste your talking points or full script, and set your preferred font and scroll speed.
Place the teleprompter window directly over your own video preview or the active speaker. Set transparency to around 50% so the text is readable but Zoom remains visible.
Start scrolling when you begin speaking. Your eyes stay near the camera, making natural eye contact with other participants.
Place the teleprompter window as close to your webcam lens as possible. This makes it look like you're maintaining direct eye contact.
For meetings, short bullet points feel more natural than reading verbatim. Use the teleprompter for structure, not word-for-word delivery.
In Zoom, pin your self-view so it stays in one spot. Then overlay the teleprompter on that fixed position for consistent alignment.
No. Zoom's cloud recording captures the meeting's audio/video streams and any content you share — not your local desktop. The AI Companion summarises spoken audio and chat, not on-screen overlays. You can read silently from the teleprompter while both tools run.
Yes. The overlay is pinned to your screen, not to the current meeting or room. When you move between the main room and breakouts — or host a workshop cycling through rooms — the teleprompter stays exactly where you placed it.
Yes. Virtual backgrounds are applied to your camera feed before Zoom sends it; the teleprompter is a separate desktop overlay that never touches your camera. The two don't interact.
