Recording Setup & Troubleshooting Tips

✅ Recording Setup Checklist

  • Use Chrome or Edge: Please join from a computer using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Riverside (our recording platform) doesn’t play well with Safari or Firefox.
  • Click “Allow”: When you join, your browser will ask for permission to access your microphone and camera. Just click “Allow.”
  • Wear Headphones: This helps prevent audio echo and ensures the best sound quality.
  • Quiet Environment: Try to be in a quiet space with minimal background noise for the best experience.

🔧 Troubleshooting Tips (Just in Case)

  • Browser Compatibility: If something isn’t working, double-check that you’re using Chrome or Edge—other browsers can block audio or video.
  • Audio Settings: When you enter the studio, select your preferred microphone and speakers in the settings panel (usually bottom or right side). This is important to ensure your voice is captured properly.
  • Permission Prompts: If your audio or video isn’t working, it’s usually a browser permission issue. You can check your browser settings and make sure Riverside has access to your mic and camera.
  • No Downloads Needed: You won’t need to install anything or create an account. Just click the link I’ll send and follow the prompts.
