  • The audience public access link is a generic studio link that is always valid and does not expire. Only when the link is disabled, access is restricted.
  • No one can see the audience members' videos. However, the host, producers, and audience members can see the total number of audience members in the studio. 
  • Audience members can join the session from their computer on Chrome or Edge. They can also join using Safari and the Riverside mobile app, but live call-ins are not supported on these channels. They cannot join via mobile browser.
  • Audience members can participate in the live chat and request to join the live recording.
