How to choose the best LinkedIn live streaming platform

Here’s what to look for in a good LinkedIn live streaming tool (hint: Riverside checks all the boxes):

Easy integration

You don’t want to deal with stream keys, weird backend settings, or third-party workarounds. Just log in, click, and you’re good.

Simulcasting option

If you're showing up on LinkedIn, you might as well stream to YouTube or Twitter too. 

Recording

Recording your LinkedIn live gives you the option to repurpose it later. Share it as a replay or create short video clips to make it go further.

Live editing and engagement tools

Add a clip, share your screen, play a sound. You shouldn’t have to stop the whole thing just to make a simple change mid-stream.

Customization 

From overlays to adding your own branding, make sure you can customize your stream to give it personality.

Remote guests

Whether it’s 1 co-host or 5 remote speakers, the tech shouldn’t get in the way. They click a link and they’re in!

User-friendly interface 

You shouldn’t need a training session or a tech setup checklist. The whole thing should be intuitive, even if this is your first time going live.

Use LinkedIn live streaming software to:

Host professional webinars and events

Share your screen, present slides, and bring on remote guests, live on LinkedIn. With Riverside, it’s all recorded in high quality, so you can share a replay later or turn it into other content.

Build your personal brand with live content

Go live on LinkedIn and other platforms at once. Brand your stream, record in HD, and turn your video into short clips to reach more people, without doing more work.

Connect with your professional community 

Host live panels, roundtables, or workshops on LinkedIn. Bring in voices from anywhere, take questions in real time, and turn the conversation into content you can keep sharing.

Run live product demos and launches 

Show off new features live on LinkedIn. Bring your team, take audience questions, and record everything once. Then, turn it into content for social, sales, or internal training.

“Riverside.fm allowed us to record speakers locally in remote locations… We would always get high-quality video & audio every time we recorded, which was a huge help!”
