IMPORTANT:
For best results during a screen share, do not change the size of the shared browser window or program while recording.

If you are using a Mac and have not shared your browser's screen before, enable it in System Settings, then quit and reopen the browser. Set this up before you start recording.

Step by step

  1. Using a web browser or the MacOS app, join a Riverside Studio.
  2. At the bottom of the screen, click share-box-24px.svg Share and choose Screen.
  3. In the pop-up, choose the source: an individual browser tab, a specific window, or the entire screen.
    • If relevant, check Share audio to include the screen share's sound. Please note that at this time, you cannot share the screen share's audio if you are recording using the MacOS app. 
  4. Click the Share button to confirm.
    Your screen is visible to all other participants, including those using the mobile app.

The quality of the screen share track depends on the internet connection of the participant sharing their screen. The frame rate for screen shares in the browser is 15 FPS.

However, if you share your screen using the MacOS desktop app, you receive locally recorded, high quality, separate tracks for screen shares. The frame rate for screen shares on macOS is 24 FPS, and Business plan users can adjust it to 25 FPS or 29.97 FPS.

To share a video, we recommend using the Media board, since is less processor-intensive for your computer.
