Key answer: A transparent teleprompter is useful when you need to read while looking at the screen, but the real test is capture privacy. During screen sharing or recording, FlowPrompter's desktop invisible window keeps your script visible to you and hidden from the audience. That is the difference between a prompt that is merely transparent and a prompt that is safe for live work.

| Feature | Transparent window | Invisible window |
|---|---|---|
| You can see the script | Yes | Yes |
| Audience can see through it | Sometimes | The prompt is excluded from capture |
| Good for screen sharing | Only if capture ignores the window | Yes, after testing the shared view |
| Best use | Personal viewing comfort | Meetings, recordings, screenshots |
Transparent is not always private
Many tools call themselves transparent because the window looks see-through. That does not mean Zoom, OBS, or a screenshot will ignore it.
If the capture tool sees the window, your audience can see the script.
What FlowPrompter changes
FlowPrompter's desktop invisible window is designed to be excluded from screen sharing, recordings, and screenshots. You can place the prompt near the camera while the captured output stays clean.
That helps in:
- Sales demos.
- Online classes.
- Webinars.
- Product walkthroughs.
- YouTube screen recordings.
How to set it up
- Paste your script.
- Put the prompt near your webcam.
- Turn on invisible window mode.
- Start the screen share or recording.
- Check the audience view once before going live.
What to avoid
Do not put a normal notes window over your slides and hope nobody notices. Test the shared view. If the prompt appears there, stop and switch to an invisible prompt.
