Producers can start and stop the recording only when using Riverside from the web browser.
You can start and stop a recording multiple times in a studio session to create different recording takes.
When you stop a scheduled session before the designated end time, your audience members are redirected back to the lobby. If you start the session again before the designated end time, the scheduled session restarts.
Recordings end automatically after 10 hours (without hosts or producers) as long as a guest is in the studio.
