Riverside is now on iPad!

The iPad release is part of our continued mission to make the workflow of online creators easier. We are excited to expand Riverside’s mobile recording capabilities and offer a new way to record content on the iOS app.

The iPad app offers the same functionalities as the iPhone app, but with a more optimized layout for larger screens. Users can join the app in host, guest, audience or producer modes. Host mode allows you to create studios, invite and accept guests and start and stop recordings so you can record on-the-go.

‍Step 3. Next, you’ll enter the waiting room so you can check your camera view, toggle your camera on/off and choose if you want to use the front or back camera (the back camera is suggested for better quality).‍

Step 4. Once you’re in your studio, you can invite & remove guests and audience members, accept people from the waiting room, and see how many people are in the studio. When you’re ready, simply click the record button.

‍Step 5. At the end of the recording, keep the app open until session upload is complete.

‍And that’s it, you’re done recording! To view and download your recordings after they’re done uploading, head over to the Riverside dashboard on your desktop. You can also create clips and share your highlights on social media to spread the word on your latest recording.

‍For guests on iPad:

‍Step 2. To enter your session, click on the guest link that you received from the host or paste the link from the invite email in the app.

‍Step 3. Once you gain access to the studio, you’ll be asked to take a profile picture and fill on your name. Then, you’ll enter the ‘Waiting Room’.

Step 4. In the waiting room, you will see your camera view, decide to toggle your mic and camera on/off, and choose which camera to use - front or back (back camera is recommended for better quality).
