Presenting on Zoom
Read your script on Zoom — invisibly
There are two ways reading a script on Zoom gives you away: your eyes drift off camera to wherever your notes are, or your notes show up on the shared screen. ScriptAssist removes both tells — your script sits beside your camera and is hidden from your screen share, so you can read every word while looking straight at your audience.
Why reading on Zoom usually shows
Sticky notes around the monitor, a script on a second screen, a phone propped against the webcam — every workaround moves your eyes away from the camera. And the moment you share your screen to walk through slides, anything on that screen, including your notes, is visible to everyone on the call.
How ScriptAssist hides it
Beside your camera
Your script reads in a strip next to the lens, so your gaze stays on the camera — not off to the side.
Excluded from capture
On Windows, the script is marked to be left out of screen capture, so Zoom never shares it and it's not in the recording.
Share your whole screen
You can present full slides and share your entire screen with confidence — the words stay on your side only.
Zoom, Teams, Webex
It works the same across meeting apps, because the hiding happens at the Windows level, not inside any one app.
Set it up in a minute
- Open your deck in ScriptAssist — it reads your speaker notes as your script.
- Choose On-Camera Script so the strip sits beside your webcam.
- Start your Zoom and share your screen. You read; your audience sees only your slides and your face.
Reading on Zoom: FAQ
Can people see my script if I share my screen?
No. It's excluded from screen capture on Windows, so it stays invisible even during a full-screen share.
Does it work on Teams and Webex?
Yes — the script is hidden at the Windows level, so it's private across meeting apps.
