Riverside Reviews

& Product Details

What is Riverside?

Riverside is a cloud-based recording and production studio purpose-built for high-quality podcasts, video interviews, webinars, and livestreams. It captures separate local audio and video tracks in up to 4K and 48 kHz WAV for each participant, ensuring studio-grade output regardless of internet connectivity.

The platform operates entirely in-browser or via mobile and macOS apps, allowing hosts to invite guests and producers with no installation required. Once recorded, files upload automatically to the cloud for access, while AI-powered editing tools, including text-based transcript editing, Magic Clips for social snippets, AI show notes, captions, and audio cleanup, streamline post-production.

Riverside also supports live streaming and webinar use cases, enabling multi-stream broadcasts in up to 1080p to social networks like YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitch. Built-in audience engagement features such as live call-ins, chat integration, teleprompter, and branded layouts empower creators to host interactive virtual events for up to 1,000 attendees.

Ideal for podcasters, marketers, educators, and remote teams, Riverside delivers end-to-end production workflows, from recording through editing to distribution, within a unified interface. By combining local high-fidelity capture with cloud-based AI editing and broadcast tools, the platform accelerates content creation while preserving professional standards.
