"Unlocks marketing potential"
What do you like best about Riverside?

It's easy to hit the ground running and use the tool well. I love the ability to make multiple short clips from one podcast!

What do you dislike about Riverside?

I feel like the ability to make sure podcast guests get there invite and are ready to hop on the call is as user friendly as the rest of it.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am creating quality videos that I can edit and pull clips from for marketing. It benefits me because I can just go back to a video instead of having to clip it all up at once.

"Makes my life as a producer much easier"
What do you like best about Riverside?

I love the ease of use for podcast guests who aren't used to recording, as well as the locally recorded audio/video which helps stop any glitchiness in the final recording.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

I don't have many complaints, however the mobile app could probably use a few more features such as mic selection. Overall though I'm very happy with the service.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's an intuitive tool that removes a lot of the technical difficulties of recording remote podcasts. It's easy enough that anyone who has used zoom can likely figure it out, which is great when recording podcast guests who aren't accustomed to recording themselves.

"We love Riverside because it is so user friendly for both us and our guests!"
What do you like best about Riverside?

The best feature of Riverside is the ease of use for guests. The ability to wear headphones or not is helpful in simplifying our recording process. We also love the reliability, knowing that we will get high quality audio and video.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

So far there is nothing we don't like. The transition from our old recording platform has been simple.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

Riverside has made recording with guests more reliable and simpler for guests to get logged in and ready to record.

"Simple and easy interface even for a beginner"
What do you like best about Riverside?

First off, the results. The video and audio quality are amazing, and our ability to add background visuals give the final touches that make our videos look very professional! The recording tools are very easy to understand and use.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

I would say the only downside is making sure everyone's videos upload before they log off. We had a panelist lose internet and lost the whole session as a result!

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using Riverside to create marketing videos in an interview format. Our options before discovering Riverside were to use a video conferencing platform, which doesn't give the high production value we get from Riverside.

There's nothing I dislike about it. I wish the video quality was a bit better but it's still good.

"The Perfect Solution to Remote Podcasting"
What do you like best about Riverside?

It's very easy to use, and being able to send a link to others and have them be able to join is as simple as it sounds.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

My only suggestion for improvement is, although the editing portion is awesome, it doesn't allow you to remove the pauses when speaking.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were looking for a solution that allowed us to invite guests onto our podcast remotely. It does just that, very easily actually.

"Riverside has helped my podcast look better"
What do you like best about Riverside?

It's not that Riverside jsut makes my video quality look better.. but when I mention I recor4d with riverside my guests instantly trust the quality of my podcast. Riverside makes my podcast look better from video to reputation.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

The exporting to Descript is a little clunky. Takes a while and does not feel easy to start editing right away. Maybe inserting more editing tools into Riverside itself?

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

Riverside is helping me capture video and audio without any interuptions from poor internet quality. My wifi is not great and riverside has helped alleviate my recording issues.

"Riverside improved my podcast's quality"
What do you like best about Riverside?

1. I can record high-quality video in spite bad internet connection. 2. I have gotten better audio quality since I started using Riverside.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

1. I paid for the standard plan expecting to get 1080p but I only get 720p. The 720p feels like 1080p in terms of clarity. Perhaps it's 1080p.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

I run a podcast, The Freelance Podcast, where I host guests from across the globe. I am able to produce high quality videos my Guest are proud of as it aligns with there personal brand in terms of quality.

"Great platform for both video and audio recording"
What do you like best about Riverside?

I love that on Riverside.fm I can record videos and get separate audio tracks since these are essential for me as a podcaster. The fact that the recording is local is really helpful, as I don't need to worry as much about the vagaries of Internet connections or ask my guests to record a backup on their phone.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

I was disappointed that I could get a transcript but not download it on my paid plan and that the transcript did not seem to distinguish clearly between speakers. I would have liked a one-platform solution, but right now, it is cheaper and more effective to keep getting my transcripts from Otter.ai

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

Riverside.fm is a great platform for me to record both my podcast, especially since I am now also uploading it to YouTube, and pre-recorded content such as webinars.

"Riverside allows non-techy people to easily join as a guest"
What do you like best about Riverside?

I like that non-techy people can easily join the podcast. If they are familiar with zoom, or any other video platform, it comes pretty easy. They don't have to install any special software. The full-quality video tracks are stored locally in the browser and uploaded ansynchronously. It results in a solid product with reliable quality.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

The editor seems to lag a bit and you can't zoom in on the video track to get fine-tune control. It feels a bit clumsy. So most of my episodes are now downloaded and prepared in Premiere. Also, the transcriptions often don't line up with the actual audio unless I refresh the page.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main thing is the ability to capture video of remote podcast guests. They don't have to create an account or install any software. They just have to have a webcam and a mic.

"Best tool for podcasters"
What do you like best about Riverside?

The ability to mark clips while doing a live recording.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

Nothing really, it works perfectly for what I need it to do.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

I needed software that records high quality audio files for my podcast. ZOOM is what I started with yet, it wasn't cutting it. Riverside is by far the better option.

"Easy to use platform for new podcasters!"
What do you like best about Riverside?

I love the ease of using Riverside.fm! The ability to seamlessly record with guests AND then pull high quality video and audio clips for promotion is priceless for me. This is by far the most user friendly platform I've used so far!

What do you dislike about Riverside?

I would love the ability to create auto summaries for show notes and I'm not aware of the feature being available currently. I'd love to see this added! :) otherwise I am loving the rest!

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's giving me an easy and user friendly site for guest recordings and generating video and audio clips for promotion. Without this feature it would take me hours to do.

"Such an easy and incredible tool to use!"
What do you like best about Riverside?

I love everything about it, particularly its accessibility components. I've been recording people with disabilities, and this application has been so easy to use for them. Kudos to the dev team!

What do you dislike about Riverside?

So far, there isn't anything that I dislike about it. It's been such a breeze to use, and I'm sure there are even more aspects of it that I've missed that will help my needs more.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've been looking for a system that will store, record, and transcribe my recordings with ease while also being easy to use for my guests, especially those with disabilities who use assistive technology.
