A tour of the redesigned Riverside studio, covering every change from the lobby page through to the rebuilt media board.
The video covers:
00:00 Riverside just made some new improvements to your studio recording experience. So let me show you around all of the updates, improvements, and changes. Welcome to the new lobby page. So as you'll notice, the screen that you can preview what your shot will look like is bigger. So you're able to see your shot a lot better.
00:16 Then over on the side, you're able to control it the same way that you did before. So you can choose your camera, your microphone, your speaker, all of that right in here. But let's jump into the new studio. You'll notice that now when you jump into your studio, it's not the split screen that you used to see. You'll be able to see yourself full screen, but it's still just as easy to invite guests if you wanna record with guests.
00:35 So you'll go over here to people and invite them right from your people panel. We've also consolidated a few buttons so that it's easier to navigate and a lot cleaner of an experience. So for example, when you go down here, you can see that your microphone and your speaker settings are both in the same place.
00:53 You'll also see that you can turn on echo cancellation right from here. We also consolidated the react button. So you'll be able to see over here that you can add any of your reactions or raise your hand right from this panel. And then onto my favorite new change, the media board, because we've added a lot of improvements there. So let me show you.
01:10 Over here under media, you'll see that the media board has now been completely restructured so that you can upload your videos or images right off of the top. And yes, I said images because now images are available on the media board. And when you upload any files, they can now be up to one gigabyte rather than a hundred megabytes. So huge improvement there. Sorry, I had to.
01:31 Then scrolling down in the sound effects panel, you can now find some easy to access sound effects that we've added in here for you or you can upload your own. And you'll see that each of these have a number next to them. That's because you can type in that number while you're recording and really easily use that as a shortcut to play any of those sound effects. So a really cool upgrade for when you're recording.
01:52 And so that's a quick tour of the new studio with all of the updates and improvements that we've made. Happy recording. We're so excited to see what you create with it.
