Reading a Script on Zoom, Loom and Google Meet Without Anyone Knowing
Reading a script during a Zoom call, Loom recording, or Google Meet presentation doesn't have to mean constantly looking away from the camera.
The problem isn't having a script. The problem is making it obvious that you're reading one.
A second monitor puts your eyes off to the side. A phone makes you look down. A browser-based teleprompter can get in the way of your meeting or appear when you share your screen.
A better setup is a desktop teleprompter overlay positioned close to your webcam.
For reading a script naturally during video calls and recordings, the setup should:
Keep the script close to the camera
Stay on top of the application you're using
Let you interact with the window underneath
Stay hidden from screen recordings and screen shares
Follow your speaking pace instead of forcing you to keep up
GhostPrompter was built around this workflow for Windows and Mac.
Its Ghost Mode keeps the script out of screen captures, while click-through mode lets you interact with Zoom, Meet, Loom, OBS, or other applications underneath. Voice scrolling can also move the script as you speak.
The goal isn't to memorize every word.
It's to have your notes available when you need them while still looking natural on camera.
