Overview
Riverside.fm is a browser-based recording studio for podcasts and video interviews. Its defining feature is local recording: each participant's audio and video is recorded directly on their device and uploaded separately, meaning poor internet connections don't degrade recording quality. The result is studio-quality audio and up to 4K video regardless of where your guest is. The free plan allows up to 2 hours of recording per month.
Pros & Cons
What we like
- ✓Local recording ensures quality doesn't depend on anyone's internet speed
- ✓Separate audio tracks per participant for clean mixing
- ✓4K video recording on paid plans
- ✓Live call + background recording — guests just click a link
- ✓Basic video editor and clip maker built in
Watch out for
- ✕Free plan caps at 2 hours/month
- ✕Guests must use Chrome or Firefox (no Safari recording)
- ✕Not a full podcast editor — use Descript or Audacity for post-production
Best for
- Podcasters conducting remote interviews who want consistent quality
- Video podcast creators wanting clean per-track audio
Not ideal for
- In-person podcast recording (a traditional setup is better)
- Solo screen recordings (Loom or Descript are better for that)
