About
Waveroom is a free, browser-based remote recording platform designed for podcasters, educators, journalists, and teams who need studio-quality recordings without expensive software. Unlike cloud-based conferencing tools, Waveroom uses local recording technology — each participant's audio and video is captured directly on their device, eliminating compression artifacts caused by poor internet connections. Users can record in up to 2K video resolution with uncompressed 48 kHz WAV audio, and download separate tracks for each participant — making post-production editing significantly easier. The platform supports up to 5 simultaneous participants on the free plan, making it ideal for small podcast shows, remote interviews, and team meetings. Waveroom includes an AI-powered noise removal feature that strips out background distractions from recordings, delivering clean, professional-sounding audio without manual effort. Upcoming features include built-in editing tools, automatic gap/silence removal, speech-to-text transcription, and mobile support. The platform requires no downloads or installs and works entirely in the browser, making it easy for guests to join sessions with a single link. It is suitable for remote podcast production, online teaching, customer testimonial recording, and corporate communications. A free tier is available with no session limits on audio/video recording, while Enterprise plans cater to teams needing 10 or more participants.
