You can now live stream in landscape and portrait at the same time from one Riverside Studio, sending 16:9 to one destination and 9:16 to another.
The video covers:
00:00 You could already live stream in multiple destinations, but now you can live stream in multiple aspect ratios all within Riverside. So let's say, for example, that you want to live stream in YouTube to 16 by 9, but on another platform, you want to go 9 by 16. You can do both of those at the same time and have your live stream formatted for 9 by 16 and 16 by 9, all in the same live stream all through your Riverside studio.
00:25 It is very cool, so let me show you exactly how to do it. So right off the bat, what you're going to want to do is go over to this stream panel and make sure that your live stream toggle is turned on so that you could be live streaming. From there, you'll see that I've already connected to YouTube, and that is in that landscape mode. But I also want to add another destination, and I've already enabled my Facebook, so I'll just use that. And for this, I enabled portrait mode. And now you can see that on the left, you have this portrait mode, 9 by 16.
00:53 On the right, you have 16 by 9, so you could see what it'll look like in both formats. For branding, if I want to add some branding onto here, I can do maybe an overlay. You can see how it adapts to each layout. It's very cool. I'll actually take away this branding just so that you can see what it looks like clean. Now I want to make sure that I zero in on how I look at my portrait mode. So for now, I just need portrait on the screen. I'm going to press this minus button here, and now I'm just in portrait mode.
01:21 Now I want to bring back up this other 16 by 9 mode. I can do that, and I can minimize portrait mode. So I can really focus in on either of them. Another cool thing that you'll notice here is that if I choose a layout, it will adapt to different platforms. So here on the left, you could see what it'll look like when I screen share. And on the right, you'll see what it'll look like if I screen share in 16 by 9. If I have a guest, it'll also format here, and you can just see how each will look.
01:50 So if I had a guest on here, you could see it change every time that I do a different layout. But let's go back to full screen. So you'll be able to preview both of those different layouts, but if somebody's watching you in 9 by 16 or in 16 by 9, they'll only see that layout. So this kind of two side by side thing will only be for you to see. They won't be a distraction for your guests or anyone else in the studio. And that is new live streaming with different aspect ratios.
02:16 So it's great for going live, not just to YouTube, but also for all different kinds of social media platforms and being able to keep a bird's eye view of what's going on and how it looks, no matter if you're 16 by 9 or 9 by 16. So a very exciting new feature. I can't wait for all of you that are live streaming to check it out, try it out yourselves, and let us know what you think.
