They are never lines to read out — which is why you have not heard me say one.

Written setup guide
Record a Snap for Stories or Spotlight
Use CueCard with Snapchat in six short steps, from the saved script to the final take.
-
01
Write the Snap script
Keep each line short enough to read near the lens, then save the script in CueCard so it is ready for another take.
-
02
Set a comfortable pace
Choose the scroll speed and text size in CueCard, then rehearse the opening once before you record.
-
03
Float CueCard over Snapchat
Tap the green play button, then Start Overlay. CueCard shrinks into a movable window while Snapchat stays open.
-
04
Open the Snapchat camera
Switch to Snapchat, choose the selfie camera, and keep the Camera button visible below the floating script.
-
05
Place the script below the lens
Move CueCard near the front camera without covering Snapchat’s Camera button or camera-switch control.
-
06
Record and check the Snap
Press and hold the Camera button, review the Snap, then adjust CueCard before posting to Stories or Spotlight.
A short script to try
Select and copy this into CueCard. The [cue ...] tags are reminders to yourself; you leave the pause when you speak.

CueCard floats on top of Snapchat, so you record where you always do.

Shaped to fit the Snapchat frame
Rectangular or square, and it goes wherever you drag it.
The app itself
What it looks like.
Read your script from the full screen, or shrink it into a small window that stays on top of whatever else you open.
Looking for the computer app instead? CueCard for Mac and Windows keeps your speaker notes on your screen and out of your screen share.

CueCard Teleprompter for iPad
A screen big enough to read from a few feet away
Filming Snapchat from an iPad gives you more room: the script can take the whole display, so you read it from a few feet back rather than holding a phone at arm's length. Or shrink it into the floating window and film as you would anyway. See CueCard Teleprompter on iPad.

CueCard for Mac and Windows
Speaker notes your screen share cannot see
The other half of CueCard runs on a Mac or PC, and it hides rather than floats: the window is left out of screen capture, so a call sees your deck and never your notes. Open it for the meeting after the Snapchat take. Any deck, or none at all — and Google Slides notes can follow your slides.

Frequently asked
Questions about CueCard for Snapchat
Does CueCard work with Snapchat Stories?
Yes. CueCard floats over the Snapchat app, so you can see your script while recording Stories directly in Snapchat.
Can I use it for Spotlight videos?
Yes. Keep your talking points visible while creating Spotlight content that could go viral.
Is CueCard free?
Yes. CueCard is completely free and open source. It is free on the App Store for iPhone and iPad now, and the Android app is still being built.
Why is the floating window missing?
Return to CueCard and open the prompter with the green play button. Tap the script to reveal controls and look for Start Overlay. The overlay button appears when picture-in-picture is available. Close another active picture-in-picture window and try again. If it still fails, use the full-screen reader on a second device while recording.
Will the script appear in my video?
Camera recording captures the image through the lens, so the floating script is not part of that footage. Phone screen recording or a screen broadcast can capture the window. Record a short camera test and review it before posting.
Can I use this Snapchat teleprompter on Android?
CueCard is available now for iPhone and iPad. The Android app is still in development. See the Android availability page for its status.
Do I need an account to use CueCard?
No. There is nothing to sign up for on either app, and your scripts and settings live on your device. The one exception is Google Slides sync on the desktop app, which asks you to sign in with Google so it can read the notes out of your deck. See the privacy policy for the details.
