What Is Riverside?

Riverside records each participant locally in high quality instead of relying only on the live internet stream, then uploads separate audio and video tracks for editing. Its Studio also supports livestreaming, screen sharing, producer controls, scenes, teleprompter functions, transcripts, text-based editing, captions, and AI-generated clips for repurposing long recordings.

Best for: Podcasters, video teams, and marketers that need high-quality remote recordings plus editing and livestreaming tools.

Riverside records video and audio locally on each participant's device instead of depending solely on the compressed live connection. After upload, producers can retrieve raw or aligned versions of each participant's tracks, preserving synchronization for post-production. This arrangement enables corrections to a guest's volume or framing without modifying the host's separate track, including when the live call suffered network instability.
