Is there a Mac app that works with Google Slides?

Yes. GoTeleprompter for Mac (macOS 26 or later) floats your script above Google Slides, docks it under your camera, and scrolls it as you speak with Voice Follow. On Windows or Chromebook, use the free web teleprompter with picture-in-picture.

Can I see my Google Slides speaker notes while presenting?

Yes, in presenter view, which opens your notes in a separate window. The notes do not scroll on their own and usually sit away from your camera. A teleprompter under the lens keeps your eyes up and scrolls for you.

Do I need a Google Slides add-on?

No. GoTeleprompter does not connect to your Google account. Paste your notes into it and it runs beside Slides as a separate window.

Does picture-in-picture work with Google Slides?

Yes in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox on desktop (not Safari or mobile browsers). Place the floating script near your webcam. PiP is visible if you share your whole screen, so share only the Slides tab or window.

Does this work on a Chromebook?

Yes. Use the free web teleprompter in Chrome. There is no native Chromebook app.

Is GoTeleprompter free?

The web teleprompter is completely free. The iPhone, iPad, and Mac apps are free for up to 2 scripts, including Voice Follow. One Pro subscription unlocks unlimited scripts on all your Apple devices.

Teleprompter for Google Slides Presentations

Keep your talking points at eye level while you present Google Slides. On Mac, GoTeleprompter floats your script under the camera and follows your voice. On Windows or Chromebook, the free web teleprompter floats beside Slides with picture-in-picture.

Below: the setup with the GoTeleprompter Mac app, how Hide from Screen Sharing behaves in Google Slides, and the free web teleprompter option for Windows and Chromebook. New to Voice Follow? The script scrolls as you speak and waits when you pause.

How to use a teleprompter with Google Slides on Mac

Paste your talking points into GoTeleprompter for Mac, one short block per slide, and turn on Float on Top so the script stays above your browser.
Choose Move Below Camera to dock the script as a strip right under your webcam.
Present the deck in its own browser window, then share only that window or tab in Meet, Zoom, or Teams.
Check that Hide from Screen Sharing is on (it is by default).
Start Voice Follow and speak. Click your slides before you advance them, so key presses go to Slides and not the prompter.
Before going live, do a quick test share to confirm only your slides are visible.

Is the prompter hidden in Google Slides?

Hide from Screen Sharing is on by default and keeps the prompter out of screen sharing and recordings in apps that respect it. Some apps that capture your entire screen may still show it, so share a single window when you can and do a quick test share in Google Slides before going live.

MAC APP

Float your script above the call, scroll it with your voice, and keep it off the shared screen.

Free to start. One subscription covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac. macOS 26+.

Who this setup is for

Teams that build every deck in Google Workspace
Chromebook users who need a free prompter
Anyone who loses their place switching between slides and notes

Free option: the web teleprompter with Google Slides

No Mac, or on Windows or Chromebook? The free web teleprompter works in any modern browser. It scrolls at a speed you set (no Voice Follow), and its picture-in-picture window is visible if you share your whole screen, so share a single window instead.

Copy the speaker notes from each slide into the web teleprompter, numbered to match the slides.
Open the teleprompter in a separate browser window from Slides, so sharing a tab never shows it.
Set a large font and 120–140 WPM, then open picture-in-picture (Chrome, Edge, or Firefox) and park the script next to your webcam.
Present Slides and share only the Slides tab or window, not your entire screen.
Pause the scroll while you change slides. The prompter and Slides are separate, so advancing one does not move the other.

Tips that keep delivery natural

Number each prompter block to match its slide, so you can jump back after a question.
Keep the notes panel in Slides for facts and links; put spoken lines on the prompter.
On a Chromebook, the web teleprompter runs in Chrome. No install needed.
Do one dry run with the same share settings you will use live.
