Is the NotchStar teleprompter hidden from screen recording
NotchStar does not hide the teleprompter from screen recording or screen sharing. It has no setting to exclude itself, and the app does not mark its panel as hidden from capture. Plan as if anyone watching your screen share or recording could see the script.
What this means on a call
On a video call your camera sends your face, not your screen. The script is only a risk when you share your whole screen or record it. Whether the panel shows depends on the app you record or share with and on what you choose to capture. A capture of the whole display can include the top of the screen where the panel opens. Sharing a single window or app is the safer choice, and most apps show a preview of what is shared before you go live.
Before a recording or share
- Open the notch, choose Teleprompter and press Keep open.
- Start a short test recording or a private call with the same screen setting.
- Play it back and see whether the panel appears. Use the same app and the same capture setting you will use for real.
- Unpin the notch when you finish.
Ways to be safe
- Share one window or one app, not the full display.
- Close the notch before sharing. It closes when your pointer leaves, unless it is pinned.
- If your recorder offers it, capture a single window or app rather than the full display.
Limits
No hide from capture option, and no way to tell the app to exclude itself. The page for the tool is Teleprompter. Check your framing with the Mirror tab before calls, as described in the camera check guide.
