LOOKING FOR A RIVERSIDE ALTERNATIVE?
Great content doesn't stop at recording.
VizualStems is designed for creators and businesses that want recording AND a complete live-production workflow in the same browser-based environment.
Don't just go live. Produce something great.
BUILT FOR THE LIVE PRODUCTION — NOT JUST WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU RECORD.
Riverside has built its reputation around high-quality remote recording, and that focus is a genuine strength for podcasters and interview shows. VizualStems approaches the same content from the production side: the show is directed while it happens, with scenes, graphics and camera switching in the moment — and the recording comes out of that same session. If your workflow is recording-first, compare both. If your workflow is show-first, this is what VizualStems is built around.
- Live show control while you're on air.
- Scenes you design before the show and switch during it.
- Graphics, overlays and lower thirds.
- Camera switching between sources.
- Multistreaming to multiple destinations.
- Guests joining from the browser with a secure link.
- Recording — in the cloud on paid plans, locally on every plan.
- Browser-based meetings for teams and clients.
- Webinars with registration and attendees.
