Teleprompter on Chromebook
Chromebooks run everything in Chrome, which suits a browser teleprompter well. As long as your ChromeOS version's Chrome supports Document Picture-in-Picture, you get the same floating window as on desktop Chrome — handy for students and teachers recording with Screencast or presenting in Meet.

Open the free teleprompter →How to do it
- Open the teleprompter in Chrome on your Chromebook and paste your script.
- Press Start, then "Float on top". If the button isn't shown, your Chrome build doesn't support the floating window — use Fullscreen instead.
- Open Google Meet, the Camera app or Screencast and drag the floating window near the webcam.
- Use Space to pause and the arrow keys to adjust speed while the teleprompter is focused.
Tips
- Keep ChromeOS updated — the floating window depends on the version of Chrome.
- Managed school Chromebooks may restrict some sites; the teleprompter needs no extension, so it's usually allowed wherever normal websites are.
- With Screencast or screen recording, record a window or partial area so the script stays out of the video.
FAQ
Why don't I see the "Float on top" button?
The app hides it when the browser doesn't support Document Picture-in-Picture. The fullscreen teleprompter still works.
Does it work offline on a Chromebook?
Once the page has loaded, the teleprompter runs entirely on the device, so a dropped connection won't stop it.
Is my script stored on Google's servers?
No. It's kept only in this browser's local storage and isn't synced or uploaded.
