When you record live, you have three different ways to let others watch, depending on your plan and your goals. Each option gives your viewers a different experience.
-
Webinar
A structured, professional setup with registration. Riverside provides two ways to manage audience registration:- Pre-registration: Track who plans to attend before the session, share event details in advance, and see who attended afterward.
- Direct session link: No pre-registration required, but audience details are collected when they join. Sharing a direct session link also allows you to manage pre-registration outside of Riverside.
-
Livestream
A livestream lets you broadcast your live recording directly to other platforms so you can reach a broader audience. Viewers watch on the platforms themselves, such as YouTube, Facebook, or LinkedIn. -
Audience public access link
Invite audience members to watch your live recording by sharing the audience link. No registration is required.
