In detail
Avocado for OBS
Live streaming with OBS Studio means meticulously managing what displays to your audience and what stays hidden. By using Avocado as a teleprompter for OBS, you completely eliminate the risk of leaking sensitive scripts, sponsor guidelines, or personal Twitch stream outlines. Because Avocado hooks into the macOS layer below the display capture output, it will not appear in broad Display Captures or specific Window captures. This is essential for streamers who need to present a flawlessly clean overlay while independently reading dense technical manuals or event scripts in real-time.
Questions about Avocado for OBS.
Yes — Avocado uses macOS WindowServer exclusion APIs so it is invisible to OBS Studio's window and display capture sources. Your script scrolls in the MacBook notch above the camera while your stream scene remains completely clean.
Most teleprompter apps render as standard windows, which OBS captures along with everything else on screen. Avocado is excluded at the operating system level — not through an OBS plugin or filter — so it never appears in display capture, window capture, or game capture sources.
Avocado is purpose-built for MacBooks with a notch and is the only teleprompter excluded from OBS capture without any configuration on your end. It's particularly useful for streamers who do live commentary, tutorial streams, or on-camera segments where staying on-script matters.
Yes — because Avocado's exclusion operates at the WindowServer level, it is invisible regardless of whether OBS is capturing your display directly or routing output through the OBS Virtual Camera to another application. No additional OBS settings are needed.
