The Problem With Notes on Zoom
Looking down at notes during a Zoom presentation breaks eye contact with participants. On video, eye contact means looking directly into the camera. Every time you look down, you signal that you are not fully prepared.
The Zoom Teleprompter Overlay Solution
SyncedCue has a Zoom background overlay mode. It renders your script as a transparent layer on top of your camera feed. You read the script. Zoom participants see your virtual background as normal.
Tips for Zoom Teleprompter Use
Keep the font large enough to read at a glance.
Slow your scroll speed on Zoom — presentations are more deliberate.
Pause more than you think you need to — on Zoom, pauses feel authoritative.
Use QR remote control so a colleague can adjust scroll speed from another device.
