Riverside Teams

What do you like best about the product?

The quality is high and the editing is super easy. Very approachable for someone without much experience before

What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes it can be a little slow to upload or I’ll have random issues. Whenever there is a random bug it really throws a wrench in my sometimes tight timeline

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Easy virtual recording for a podcast

What do you like best about the product?

Riverside has become a core part of my podcast workflow. The Magic Audio feature automatically cleans up my sound after every recording — no manual noise removal needed. I also noticed that on-screen text (like logos on clothing) displays correctly and not mirrored, which alone cuts 10–15 minutes of post-editing per episode.

UI / UX
The dashboard gets me from setup to recording in under two minutes. Guests join via a browser link — no downloads, no accounts — so I've stopped losing the first 10 minutes of every session to tech troubleshooting.

Integrations
Riverside fits cleanly into my internal publishing workflow — I can get a finished recording out without jumping between multiple tools.

Performance
Because Riverside records locally on each participant's device, a bad Wi-Fi connection no longer ruins an episode. Separate audio tracks per speaker mean I can fine-tune one guest's sound without touching everyone else's.

Pricing / ROI
At $288 for the annual package, the value is clear — the time I save on audio cleanup and post-production alone justifies the cost.

Support / Onboarding
Live in-app chat handles most questions quickly. Guest onboarding is so simple I've stopped sending pre-show tech guides entirely.

AI / Intelligence
Magic Clips automatically pulls highlight moments and formats them for Reels and Shorts — content I used to skip making because it took too long. The Co-Creator feature lets me type "remove all silences" or "make a 60-second clip" and it executes instantly.

What do you dislike about the product?

Riverside's studio limit is 10 participants total, but only up to 7 can record simultaneously (with some plans capping it lower).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Riverside provides a professional setup for recording videos and podcasts, where participants just click a link and enable their camera and microphone, making it easy to accomplish what we need.

What do you like best about the product?

Everything I need in one place. Truly they just keep making it better. This is my third year in a row paying for a membership.

What do you dislike about the product?

I wish that it were easier to drop in audio that I edit outside of riverside into riverside and riverside be able to identify where the audio edits were made and clip the video to reflect the audio. a DREAM. Then I could post to spotify and youtube directly from Riverside.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

almost all of my problems. I just wish I could have my producer edited audio on the video from riverside.

What do you like best about the product?

Lots of features, and many tutorials to help you navigate your way through.

What do you dislike about the product?

There are lots of features, and many tutorials, but sometimes I get lost in all there is to do. Looking forward to learning more.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows me to podcast live on more than one platform as well as share power points that other companies do not allow.

What do you like best about the product?

I like that the way to schedule, set up and record podcast are so simple to set up and guide through.

What do you dislike about the product?

The only thing I would put out there for improvement is the processing speed when making edits. The translation also would be great to be able to adjust later on during processing (sometimes I forget to change the studio language before recording and then I messed up)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was not a podcast recorder before I started using Riverside, HOWEVER now I really can focus of creating the content on the fly without stressing about tech stuff. Basically, I discovered a passion for recording podcasts now

What do you like best about the product?

I like how it helps me organize and edit my recordings, often creating clips I can use to promote the show and come up with titles. It runs fast and well, and helps with creating promo or taking out pauses for a smoother finished product.

What do you dislike about the product?

some of the tools that are being tried out for a smoother video still aren't so polished, so i don't really use them. I also wish there was an easier way to add different videos on different tracks for easier editing.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Everything has been running smoother and tools added make it easier for me to edit and create promo and have a quicker turnaround time

What do you like best about the product?

The AI tools help out my workflow tremendously! I also needed to reach out to their support through chat about a specific issue, and they were very thorough when walking my through finding a solution (that's a BIG deal with the projects I work on).

What do you dislike about the product?

Occasionally after uploading a video the audio & video will be out of sync with eachother (especially towards the end of the clip). I found (through a lot of research and trial-and-error) that if the video is more than about 7 GB in size I needed to compress the video to a smaller size first before uploading. There are a number of ways to do it and still retain the video quality, so it's an easy fix. This info might already be posted on their website as well, but I think it would be beneficial to have a reminder prompt pop up before uploading a video file.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I do a lot of video editing for a podcast I help produce for my employer. Riverside is absolutely amazing for not only recording the show and it's remote guests, but also hosting the episodes afterwards. And the AI tools to help trim out all of the filler word, pauses and fluff.....COUNTLESS hours saved by Riverside doing the heavy lifting! Now I only use Premiere Pro for specific assets added as a final step, whereas before Riverside I used it to carry the entire workload. The pricing is also an incredible value!

What do you like best about the product?

As a non-techie person, Riverside makes my podcast possible for me to do by myself, from everything from the recording to the editing to the putting out to the world. I love, love, love the software.

I also love the customer service. As a business owner, podcaster, YouTuber, and author, I work with a lot of different companies, and Riverside is by far my favorite as far as the software and the customer support.

Thank you so much.

What do you dislike about the product?

I would like to be able to more efficiently get the perfect thumbnail with the picture I want.

The other point I was going to mention was being able to really efficiently get the "magic clips" that I want, but you sent me a way to do that already. I need to look into that further before I can tell you if it is working for me or not.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The only thing I can say about this is that when I have issues, customer support is amazing in terms of their response, kindness, and help in resolving the issues I'm having.

What do you like best about the product?

Easy of recording and the AI feature to make social media post

What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes the all black is hard to see... is there a lighter option?

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creating and initial editing are benefits and ease of use for a beginner podcaster is a big problem solved

What do you like best about the product?

What stood out most for me was how Riverside reduced the effort required to create clean, professional recordings during project discussions and presentation-sharing activities.

I used it mainly for recording walkthroughs, webinar-style sessions, and explanation videos where audio clarity and quick editing mattered. The separate audio/video tracks were genuinely useful because even when internet quality fluctuated, the final recording quality remained stable.

The AI transcript editing saved a lot of time during longer recordings. Instead of manually searching through videos to trim sections or extract key points, I could directly edit through the transcript and generate shorter clips much faster.
I also liked the automatic subtitles and Magic Clips feature because it simplified converting long recordings into smaller shareable updates for presentations and communication workflows.

The interface felt modern without becoming overly technical, and overall performance during recording and exporting remained reliable in regular usage.

What do you dislike about the product?

The platform works well overall, but there are occasional syncing and browser-related issues during longer remote sessions.

The built-in editor is convenient for quick work, though larger recordings sometimes take longer to process compared to dedicated editing software.
I also felt that some advanced export and customization features could be more flexible in lower-tier plans.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before using Riverside, most recording activities depended on standard meeting platforms, which often created audio-quality issues, unstable recordings, and additional post-editing effort.

For example, while recording project explanations and technical walkthroughs remotely, fixing audio mismatches and preparing usable clips consumed unnecessary time.

Riverside simplified this process by combining recording, transcription, editing, subtitles, and clip generation into one workflow. The AI-assisted editing and transcript search reduced manual editing effort significantly, especially during longer recordings.

As a result, creating presentation-ready recordings, webinar content, and technical walkthrough videos became faster, more organized, and easier to manage during ongoing coordination and knowledge-sharing activities.
