What is Riverside?

Riverside records remote conversations locally on each participant's device — up to 4K video and uncompressed 48 kHz audio — then uploads progressively as you record, so internet hiccups never damage the final quality. Separate tracks for every guest, a browser joining link with no installs, a teleprompter and live producer controls round out the recording studio.

Its editor turns recordings into publishable episodes fast: edit by deleting transcript text, generate clips and captions with AI, and export for every platform. Podcasters and video interviewers are the core users. The free plan limits hours and features, transcription languages trail some rivals, and the editor is not a replacement for a full video editing suite on complex projects.
