Who Riverside is best for
Consultants, marketers and podcasters recording interviews, testimonials and webinars with remote guests. Pick it over Zoom recordings when audio and video quality really matters.
Key features
- Separate audio and video tracks per guest
- Up to 4K video recording
- Automatic transcription
- AI editing and short clip creation
Why it’s worth it
It makes client interviews, testimonials and podcasts look and sound professional without a studio. One recording can be cut into dozens of short clips for social media.
Things to consider
- Local recordings must finish uploading from each guest's device, so guests need to keep the tab open until the upload completes.
- Guests get the best results on a supported browser or the mobile app, so a quick tech check before recording helps.
- AI features and recording hours are limited by plan, so frequent recorders may need a higher tier.

FAQ
Riverside: common questions
What is Riverside used for?
Riverside is used to record podcasts, video interviews and webinars with remote guests in high quality, then edit them and cut short clips for social media.
Do guests need an account to join Riverside?
No. Guests join through a link in their browser or the mobile app, and their audio and video are recorded on their own device.
Riverside vs Zoom for recording?
Zoom records over the internet connection, so quality drops when a connection is weak. Riverside records each person locally and uploads the files, giving much cleaner audio and video.
