What is Riverside?

Riverside is a browser-based platform designed for folks who want to create professional-grade video and audio content — think podcasts, interviews, webinars, and all the other content types. It’s used by creators, marketers, educators, and teams (like ours) who care about high-quality recordings without needing a full-blown studio setup.

Oh, and it works right from your browser (yep, even if your guests aren’t tech-savvy).

What can Riverside do?

A lot, honestly. Here are a few of our favorite features:

• High-Quality Local Recording: Riverside records each participant’s audio and video locally, then uploads it automatically. That means your recordings are smooth and crisp, even if someone’s internet is spotty (normally that’s me).
• Split Track Downloads: Need individual audio or video files for each speaker? No problem. Riverside gives you separate tracks so you can fine-tune your edits and repurpose your content however you want.
• Live Streaming and Webinars: Host a live webinar or broadcast directly to Facebook, YouTube, or wherever your people hang out.
• Built-In Editor
  When the recording’s done, you can jump straight into trimming clips and polishing the final product – all from the same platform.
• Transcriptions and Captions
  Easily grab transcripts or add captions to your videos to make your content more accessible and searchable.

Why does Monkeypod love Riverside?

We use Riverside for webinars, interviews, podcast-style conversations and just about anything where quality matters. It saves us time, makes us look polished, and helps us repurpose content for blog posts, social media, or email. The platform’s been incredibly reliable, and the fact that we can download clean audio and video tracks (without the lag or compression of Zoom) is a game-changer.

We genuinely recommend Riverside for any business or team creating content; whether you’re just starting or you’re already a content machine. If you want to check it out, here’s our referral link – no pressure, but it helps us out if you do.
