About
Riverside is a professional-grade, browser-based recording studio built for podcasters, content creators, marketers, and businesses. It records up to 4K video and uncompressed WAV audio in separate tracks locally on each participant's device, meaning your recording quality is never compromised by a poor internet connection. Once the session wraps, Riverside's suite of AI tools kicks in automatically — generating accurate transcriptions, polished show notes, animated captions, and highlight clips optimized for social media. The platform's text-based editor lets you cut, copy, and paste directly in the transcript to edit your video as easily as editing a document. Advanced AI features include filler word removal, eye contact correction, AI-generated B-roll, automatic layout switching, and dubbing into 30+ languages. An AI Co-Creator builds a full promotional asset package — posts, thumbnails, headlines — instantly tailored for each distribution channel. Riverside also supports live streaming in full HD to multiple destinations simultaneously, webinar hosting, podcast publishing directly to Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Podcasts, and async recording for flexible remote collaboration. With a free plan available and no credit card required to start, Riverside is ideal for solo creators, production teams, marketers, and enterprises looking to scale high-quality content creation without a physical studio.

Cons
