Who is included in a live stream and how do they appear to viewers?

  • The host and any guest with their camera on appear in the live stream when the studio is set to record Video and audio (default).
    • Their videos are arranged right-to-left in a gallery view as they join the studio. The size of video frames adjusts automatically based on the number of guests, with more guests resulting in smaller frames. 
  • Audience members do not see each other.
  • Producers do not appear in the live stream, but their screen shares and presentations do.
  • If a host or guest has their camera off but their microphone on, they can be heard, but their video will not appear in the live stream.
  • If the hosts and all guests turn off their cameras, the studio is set to record Audio only, or the host enables low data mode, the live stream displays a waveform for each speaker instead of their video.
  • 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.
