Live Stream on Riverside with Audience Mode

[@WebbyONeill]

I have used StreamYard & CyberLink up until recently. Riverside is by far the best with the easy-to-use interface & the added extras to help stream like a pro. Also, the tutorials are great & easy to follow!. We will be updating to a yearly plan after my monthly subscription finishes. Keep up the great work Riverside Team

[@Riversidefm]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@jasonkerepesi]

Hi@@Riversidefm team - i love all this. the only question mark for me, after having used Streamyard before, is live graphics. the show would be pretty bare without any possibliity for lower thirds or to highlight comments in the live youtube top chat. will this be addressed?

[@TeamSkeptic]

Is there a limit to the number of audience members that can be present at one time?

[@Riversidefm]

1,000 people can watch simultaneously!

[@coach_joseca]

Hi! Can you show any message on the screen from the livechat in KZbin as Streamyard does? Thanks in advance!

[@Riversidefm]

That's not a feature just yet, but we'll add to our feature requests!

[@davidarmstrong8480]

I have a question and that is I have the rodecaster pro and I will be using riverside and when I get ready to record my podcast episode, do I press the record button on the rodecaster pro and in riverside?

[@Yondainc]

[@davidarmstrong8480]

[@tbfashionViCtim]

hello is it also possible to stream live in Decentraland? thank you !

[@Riversidefm]

Sorry we don't support that platform.

[@IAMRobertLyon]

with a high percentage of people using their phones are you planning to allow audience members to call in using their smart phone camera and mic?

[@Riversidefm]

Will share that request with the team!

[@merisag6580]

I don't have the Security / public studio settings?? Where can I find it.

[@Riversidefm]

We’re actually updated our live streaming tools since this video, you can see it here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIWtnnaKaNx-d7Msi=nYcYcmgP-9PSwtU_

[@awsmvc]

Curious to know is there any to handle titling in the lower third while the live stream is occurring?

[@Riversidefm]

We don't have a built-in lower third or overlay tool at the moment. But you can use something like the ATEM Mini Pro with Riverside and overlay titles there.

[@aex01127]

What are the bandwidth requirements for someone in the audience? Will you adapt the image quality to their speed?

[@Riversidefm]

Bitrate may adjust depending on the audience member's internet speed, but 5mpbs down would be advisable.

[@wgowiesiemiesci3561]

Hello, do i can somehow do an registration form to collect emails, for the audience mode and stream it?

[@Riversidefm]

We don't have a built-in tool for that just yet, but you can use a Google Form or similar for a free method to collect emails!

[@thedoctorpatientforum-dont9836]

Is there a way to livestream from riverside to patreon?

[@Riversidefm]

You can stream to any RTMP destination with Riverside, so if Patreon offers those stream links you can!

[@ameyg9215]

What is the max number of participant as audience limit for livestreaming inside riverside ?

[@Riversidefm]

1,000 inside Riverside, then unlimited if you also stream to KZbin, Facebook, etc.

[@IAMRobertLyon]

Can audience members in KZbin stream "call in" or only text in the chat?

[@Riversidefm]

Call-ins are only possible when someone is watching via the Riverside audience link.

[@pjpknipper]

is there a limit to the number of members of the audience?

[@Riversidefm]

1,000 can view as audience members

[@pjpknipper]

@@Riversidefm thanks

[@habibnaamen4985]

In the 15$/month plan we get 1000 members also ?​@Riversidefm

[@vinisharumph]

Are you working on allowing audience members to chat and call in using the mobile app?

[@Riversidefm]

Will add that as a feature request!

[@edithoduraa]

@@Riversidefm Is this now a feature?

[@aleksandrazurawpathology]

I am looking into solutions for streaming a virtual event with guests. Would this audience mode work for it? Would I be able to stream to KZbin and LinkedIn at the same time?

[@Riversidefm]

Yes, you can live stream to KZbin, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitch all from Riverside while using Audience Mode in Riverside!

[@chessedwards]

I really wish you would actually demonstrate what it looks like when an audience member joins the call with audio and video. If you have a guest split screen and an audience member joins, what does that look like?

[@Riversidefm]

Here's an example where I used Riverside to live stream a podcast recording. This is straight out of Riverside, unedited, and is exactly what those tuning in via audience mode would see as well, with the addition of Riverside chat window: kzbin.infos-vbsM82i60?si=sjx20ijouFARVolp

[@chessedwards]

@@Riversidefm Thank you. But unfortunately this doesn't include an example of what happens on screen when an audience member joins the broadcast that already has a host and guest. The other question is..... Is it possible to livestream to KZbin and turn off the chat? And can KZbin audience members request to join the call with their question? Or is that only possible for audience members who have the direct link to the call? Thanks!

[@jjkw22cp]

Can I use this platform for book discussion or a simple podcast such as inspirational speaking?

[@Riversidefm]

Absolutely! Check out our use case series playlist for all the ways you can use Riverside!

[@julianjarvis9113]

If multiple audience close the browser before; it uploads. what happens?

[@Riversidefm]

Audience members can join and leave and it doesn’t affect your recording at all

[@MrZSTEMK12]

Is there a way to integrate FB or KZbin Chat if you're streaming to those platforms.

[@Riversidefm]

Unfortunately not, you'll need to have those chat windows pulled up individually to monitor and respond.

[@williamsmith8910]

Hello thank you for your product and customer service. I am having an issue where audience members are being asked to purchase an app when I send them an audience link. The link should just send them to my public studio once they click it, they shouldn't need to purchase an app. Please help

[@Riversidefm]

There shouldn’t be app for purchase, but if they click on your audience link on a mobile device like iPhone or iPad, they do need the Riverside app to watch

[@KickURAssetsN2Shape1]

I want to get started in podcasting, we have created webinars using zoom/Facebook live. I wanted to know if Riverside FM works with clubhouse?

[@Riversidefm]

Riverside can stream to Facebook Live, LinkedIN, Twitter, and any RTMP server simultaneously, but there is no Clubhouse integration.

[@MaryGluckleMAPS]

Can you show your audience a split screen of guests talking to each other DURING a live stream? I'm only seeing information on how to use the magic editor AFTER a video is recorded, but not while live.

[@MaryGluckleMAPS]

In other words, how can we affect what the audience sees?

[@Riversidefm]

The audience will automatically see you and remote guests in split screen. Then when you screen share or play something from the media board, that will automatically become large and people will get small in picture in picture windows. There's not a way to manually change that right now

[@dominikbecker4169]

is there a limit for audience members per live stream?

[@Riversidefm]

1,000 concurrent live viewers is the max!

[@MarkAugustine]

How many people can be in the audience?

[@Riversidefm]

Up to 1000x can view via Audience mode!

[@Keith93958]

Is the audience link the same every time, or is there a way to make the audience link consistent? I want to be able to add it to my link tree.

[@Riversidefm]

If you make a studio public, you can use the same link over and over!

[@jimajames]

That’s a great idea

[@literallykevin]

There needs to be a way to remove the standard Riverside message from the chat and pin your own message that all existing and new audience members will see. I want all new members that are waiting for a call to start to be able to see a custom message letting them know that we are about to start. Currently, I can write a message to all 200 audience members at 4:55p that we'll be starting in 5 minutes...but anyone that joins after will not see this message. If I join as a new audience member at 4:56...even a second after I post, I miss details like these, and all I see is the standard riverside chat greeting. Fix this please?

[@Riversidefm]

Understood! Will request from our team!

[@norcalcarnivores]

Is it possible no not allow live-call ins? I'd like the audience to only be able to watch and chat.

[@Riversidefm]

Not at the moment, but sending this request to the team!

[@therestlesshour]

Is it possible for a live caller not be on video?

[@Riversidefm]

Yes, you or they can disable their camera!

[@DerekHoiem]

I really just want a way to add an intro and outtro in Riverside without having to export to editing software. This doesn't seem that hard, and it's something we all do, yet other features are making it to the top of the product development backlog. Are you guys talking to your customers?

[@Riversidefm]

Hi Derek, we hear you. Will get with our team to see if we can provide a timeline for you.

[@jimajames]

Any update as this feature is a good request

[@DerekHoiem]

@@jimajames they have this now. Riverside delivered on their promise!

[@DerekHoiem]

@@jimajames they now have this and it’s fantastic.
