Technical information from Riverside.fm

• Check our equipment guide suggestions for your specific mic, camera, or other input device.

• Check our minimum system requirements.

• Ensure you have at least 5 GB of free space on your device.

• Check and adjust your computer's microphone sensitivity.

• Ensure a stable internet connection. You can test it here.

  • A wired connection using an Ethernet cable is more reliable than WiFi.

• Use a supported computer browser: Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

  • Please note: you cannot use Incognito/Private mode to record.

• Close other browser tabs and applications, as many as possible — especially any that also use the microphone or camera.

• Temporarily turn off any VPNs, browser extensions, content blockers, or firewalls.

• Allow Notificationsin your browser from Riverside.
  This ensures that Riverside can properly process your recordings. You will not receive any notifications from us, unless we detect a recording issue.

• If you're using a Mac, download our MacOS desktop app for the highest quality recordings. 

• Wear headphones to prevent echo and increase overall audio quality.

• Use an external microphone rather than your computer's built-in mic which picks up more noise.

  • We recommend a wired microphone. However, a wireless microphone or a microphone built into wired headphones is also suitable.

• If possible, record in a space with daylight or with a lamp in front of you.

  • The strongest light should be in front of you, not behind you.

IMPORTANT:
Keep in mind that your locally recorded track will be higher quality than what you see and hear during the live call.

• Leave the Riverside browser window open until you see Upload Complete or 100% Uploaded.
