TikTok teleprompter

Read your TikTok script on a laptop, tablet or spare phone while your phone records. LilPrompter can't put text over TikTok's camera. If you only have one phone, practise first, then switch apps and record a few lines at a time.

Open LilPrompter

LilPrompter browser reading screen with script text, formatting and playback controls — Move the script near your camera and make the text large enough to read.

How to set up your reading screen

Write a short script
Keep the first script focused on one useful idea.
Load it on a second screen
Set readable text and place it close to the recording lens without blocking it.
Try reading it aloud
Try a short read; lower speed or pause if the text gets ahead.
Record a short version
Use TikTok or your camera app on the recording phone.
Watch it back and try another version
Check where you're looking and what's in the shot. Reset the script if you want to try a different opening.

Choose which device to read from

For live prompting, one device records and another displays the script. Copy the text to the reading device; LilPrompter does not pair phones or sync drafts. On a single phone, rehearse in the browser, switch to the camera and record in short chunks.

Try a short script

“Your seedlings may not need more water.” [SHOW THE DRY TOP LAYER] “Check beneath the surface. It may still be damp.” [PAUSE] “Try the finger test before watering again.”

The notes in brackets remind you when to show something or pause. Press Pause yourself when you reach them. You can keep different openings in separate tabs, record each one and watch them back to choose your favourite.

Does TikTok have its own teleprompter?

TikTok Shop has one in Video Assistant. The US Video Assistant guide, updated 27 August 2026, describes generating or editing a product script and choosing Create video with this script to open a recording teleprompter. You may not see that option in your account's regular camera.

See where to find TikTok's teleprompter for the steps. You can also use LilPrompter on a second screen while recording in your usual camera app.

Fix the setup from your test clip

If your eyes move noticeably from side to side, make the lines shorter or the text bigger. Move the script closer to the lens.
If the text moves too fast, lower the speed or pause it. Give yourself time to speak comfortably.
If switching to the camera hides your script, use a second screen or practise before recording.

LilPrompter doesn't record or edit your video, so it won't add a watermark. Any watermark would come from the app you use to record or publish.
