When you live stream, the Host and Guests appear. Their videos are arranged right-to-left in a gallery view as they join the Studio. Producers do not appear in the stream.
Hosts and Producers can control who is currently live in the studio and who is backstage by hiding or showing participants.
If no one is backstage, then:
- The Host and any Guest with their camera on appears in the live stream when the Studio is set to only record Video & audio (default).
- If a participant has their camera off but their microphone on, they can be heard but their video does not appear on the live stream.
- If all participants turn their cameras off, the Studio is set to record audio only, or the Host enables Low Data Mode, then the live stream shows a waveform to indicate when each person speaks, but does not include their video.
Please note that when you expand or minimize specific video frames in the studio, it is not reflected in the live stream. However, audience members watching the live stream in Riverside can control the video frame sizes for themselves.
Instagram and Tiktok automatically format their videos in a 9:16 frame, so some of your Riverside participants may be cropped from the stream.
For most platforms, you can see the live stream as a viewer.
