YouTube teleprompter — read while looking at the lens.
HeyNotch talking-head scripts, sponsor reads, intro hooks, outro CTAs — all above your camera.
The difference between 1k and 100k subscribers is often delivery. The 100k creator looks at the lens and reads with energy. The 1k creator's eyes drift down to read notes.
HeyNotch puts your script above your camera. Read at conversational pace, look at the lens, sound like you've memorised every word. Variables for sponsor reads and outro CTAs reuse across uploads.
Hooks above the lens
First 8 seconds of every video — pre-written with speed:slow for emphasis.
Sponsor reads
{{sponsor}} and {{offer_code}} as variables. Swap once per upload.
Outro CTAs
Subscribe / next video / patreon — branched based on the video's call-to-action.
Section dividers
Long-form videos navigated by # heading markers.

YouTube intro hook
First 8 seconds of a video — the hook that decides whether viewers stay.
# Episode 14 · Building a Notch App <!-- speed:slow --> In the next eight minutes, you'll learn how Apple's Dynamic Island actually works. <!-- speed:normal --> I'll show you the trick most tutorials skip. *Smile. Confident. Pull them in.* ## [Beginner hook] Even if you've never written CSS, you'll get this. ## [Pro hook] Skip to 03:40 for the spring-physics deep-dive.
Common questions
Will viewers notice?
Not if your camera is at eye level and the notch sits above it. The eye movement to read is the same as looking into the lens.
Works with my recording setup?
Yes — HeyNotch sits on your screen. Records on whatever camera and software you already use (OBS, ScreenStudio, native QuickTime).
Mirror mode for physical teleprompter?
Yes. Settings → Display → Mirror mode flips the text horizontally for use with a glass teleprompter rig.
