A free teleprompter for YouTube videos

Deliver your script while looking straight into the lens. Write in Google Docs, import in one click, and prompt on any device next to your camera. No download, no cost.

No download • Works with Google Docs

Look into the lens, not at your notes

Viewers notice within seconds when your eyes drift down to notes or across to a second screen, and glancing away is what breaks the connection that keeps people watching. A teleprompter puts your script right next to the lens, so you hold eye contact with your audience for the entire video.

It also cuts your recording time dramatically. Instead of memorizing paragraphs and re-shooting every stumble, you read your script naturally, take by take becomes one take, and editing gets faster too, because there are far fewer cuts to hide.

From Google Docs to camera in three steps

The workflow scripted YouTubers use every week.

  1. 1

    Write your script in Google Docs, or paste it straight in. Draft, edit and collaborate where you already write; no special formatting needed.

  2. 2

    Import it in one click. Connect your doc and the teleprompter pulls in the latest version. Change the script, re-import, done.

  3. 3

    Prompt on any device next to your camera. Laptop under the lens, tablet on a stand, or phone clipped to your rig. Set your speed and hit record.

Built for creators, not just readers

Phone as remote control

Stand at the camera and run play, pause and speed from your phone, with no walking back to the keyboard between takes. See remote control.

Mirror mode for rigs

Using a beam-splitter rig in front of your lens? Flip the text horizontally so it reads correctly in the glass. See our teleprompter rigs guide.

Free & no download

Runs in the browser on any device you already own. No app to install, no watermark, no subscription. Just your script, scrolling.

How long should your YouTube script be?

Script length is just words divided by pace. Most YouTubers speak at 120–150 words per minute on camera, so a 10-minute video is about 1,300 words at an average pace of 130. A 5-minute video is around 650, and a 60-second Short only about 130. Write to the number and your videos stop running long in the edit.

Not sure how fast you actually talk? Paste your draft into the free words-per-minute calculator to see its exact reading time, then prompt it at that same pace so the recording matches the plan. Filming Shorts, TikToks or Reels too? See the teleprompter for TikTok for the short-form workflow.

Perfect for

  • Talking-head videos & vlogs
  • Tutorials & how-tos
  • Product reviews & unboxings
  • Sponsor segments & ad reads
  • YouTube Shorts
  • Course content & explainers

Teleprompter for YouTube FAQ

Is the YouTube teleprompter really free?
Yes, completely free. Sign in with Google, paste your script or import it from Google Docs, and start prompting. There is no premium tier, no watermark and no credit card. Record as many videos as you like.
Do I need to download anything?
No. Teleprompter24 runs entirely in the browser, so there is nothing to install on your computer, phone or tablet. Open teleprompter24.com, load your script, and you are prompting in under a minute.
Can I use my phone as the prompter next to the camera?
Yes. Open the teleprompter on your phone or tablet and mount it right next to your lens, or use your phone as a remote control instead: tap Share on the desktop teleprompter, scan the QR code, and run play, pause and speed from your hand while you stand at the camera.
How fast should the teleprompter scroll for YouTube videos?
Match it to your natural speaking pace. Most YouTubers land between 120 and 150 words per minute, with 130 a good starting point. Set the speed so the line you are reading stays near the top of the screen, close to the lens, and slow it down slightly for tutorials or anything technical.
Does it work with Google Docs?
Yes, that is the core workflow. Write and edit your script in Google Docs as usual, then import it into the teleprompter with one click. Edit the doc, re-import, and you are always prompting the latest version, with no copy-paste formatting mess.
Can I use it for YouTube Shorts?
Absolutely. Shorts are where a teleprompter helps most: at an average pace a 60-second Short is only about 130 words, so a tight script means you can deliver it in one confident take. Prompt from a second device next to your phone, or from the same screen you are filming with.
