What is Riverside.fm?

Riverside records each remote participant's audio and video locally in the browser at high quality, then uploads it, avoiding the choppy quality of a normal video call recording. AI features handle transcription, clip generation, and background noise removal.

Key features

  • Local recording per participant for studio-quality output
  • AI transcription and automatic show notes
  • AI-generated short clips for social from a long recording
  • Background noise removal
  • Virtual green screen without a physical one

Pros

  • Recording quality is genuinely far better than a standard video call
  • Clip generation saves real time repurposing long-form content
  • Works reliably even with imperfect participant internet, since recording is local

Cons

  • Free tier recording length and export quality are limited
  • AI clip suggestions still need human review before posting
  • Overkill if you only ever record solo, unedited content
