Teleprompter for Google Meet
Google Meet lives in a browser tab, which makes a second tab for your notes awkward: switching tabs hides the meeting. A floating teleprompter solves that — the script sits in its own always-on-top window, so Meet and your notes are visible at the same time.

Open the free teleprompter →How to do it
- In Chrome, open the teleprompter in a new tab next to your Meet tab.
- Paste your script and set Speed and Font size.
- Press Start, then "Float on top" — the script jumps into a small window that stays above every tab.
- Switch back to the Meet tab; the floating script stays put. Drag it under your webcam.
- Resize the floating window by dragging its edge — the scroll re-measures automatically.
Tips
- When presenting in Meet, choose "A tab" or "A window" instead of "Your entire screen" to keep the script off the shared view.
- Meet shows your own tile in the corner; if it distracts you, minimise it so your eyes go to the script and camera.
- Because Meet and the teleprompter share the same browser, closing the teleprompter tab also closes its floating window — keep both tabs open during the call.
- Chromebooks run Meet in Chrome too; see the Chromebook guide for that setup.
FAQ
Do I need a Chrome extension?
No. The floating window is a built-in Chrome feature (Document Picture-in-Picture) that a normal web page can use after you click a button.
Does it work in Firefox or Safari with Meet?
The teleprompter scrolls in any modern browser, but the always-on-top floating window uses Document Picture-in-Picture, which is available in desktop Chrome and Edge. Other browsers get a fullscreen teleprompter instead.
Can other people in the Meet see the script?
Only if you share your entire screen. Your webcam doesn't capture it, and sharing a single tab keeps it hidden.
