How to Adjust the Transparency of the Scrolling Window in the Teleprompter.com macOS App

Changing the window transparency is available only for macOS version

Want to see your screen or video call behind the script while reading from the teleprompter? Adjusting the transparency of the scrolling window is a great way to keep your content visible while staying on track with your script.

Here’s how to make the scrolling window transparent in the Teleprompter.com app for macOS:

  1. Open the App
    Launch the Teleprompter.com app on your Mac.
  2. Go to Settings
    In the app’s bottom menu/tool bar, click on Settings.
  3. Open Window Settings
    Inside the Settings panel, select Window Settings.
  4. Adjust Transparency
    You’ll see a transparency slider. Move the slider left or right to adjust how transparent the scrolling window appears on your screen.
  5. (Optional but Recommended)
    Toggle on the option to “Keep Teleprompter Above All Windows”
    This ensures that your script remains visible on top of other open applications, allowing you to overlay the teleprompter window during video calls, presentations, or while screen sharing.
