What it does
Riverside records every participant on their own device and uploads the files afterwards, so the audio and video you end up with are not the ones that went through the call. That is the whole reason to use a remote studio rather than a meeting tool: connection problems degrade what people hear during the conversation but not what you get when it is over. The free plan is capped at two hours a month, limited to 720p, and watermarks what you export, which makes it a fair way to test the recording quality and an awkward way to publish.
