Plan: Riverside for Business
Producers help the host monitor the recording session and can adjust most studio settings. Multiple producers can join a session.
Producers are not recorded and are not seen or heard in a live stream on other platforms. However, if a producer shares their screen, uses the media board, or shares a presentation, these elements are recorded as separate tracks. Producers can be seen during the recording session only if they turn their mic and camera on.
Producers do not appear in the all-participant cloud recording, nor do they have an individual cloud recording track.
There is no limit to the number of producers who can join. However, the more people who are in the studio, the smaller each participant's video frame will be.
Producers can join the session in one of two ways, with a Riverside account or without:
Internal producers
Internal producers join the studio by logging into their Riverside account and clicking Join as a producer at the bottom of the lobby page. They can start and stop recordings (when using a browser), set up live streaming to other platforms, view and edit the script, control the teleprompter, and share it with guests.
Invited producers
Invited producers have nearly all the same features as internal producers. They join a studio using a producer's invite access link or an invite email from notifications@riverside.fm without logging into an account. When granted permission, they can view and edit the script, control the teleprompter, and share it with guests. Only invited producers can join a studio using the Riverside mobile and MacOS apps.
Invited producers are a great way to invite people to join the studio without requiring them to have a Riverside account.
For example:
- You've hired a freelance audio engineer to help you run the show
- You are interviewing someone who has their own assistant
- Someone outside of your organization is helping you monitor the session, but you don't necessarily need them to have access to the files after the show.
