Before You Start:

Preparing Your Equipment & Environment please:

• Record in a quiet room

• Mute notifications

• Set-up good lighting

• Position your camera at eye level (maybe give the lens a quick clean)

What Browser to use:

• Riverside FM works best on Google Chrome (latest version).

• Avoid using other browsers like Safari or Firefox, as they may not fully support all features.

• Please do not open any other browsers during our call.

• Check camera & microphone permissions before the session, ensure Google Chrome is allowed to access your camera and microphone:

• Go to chrome://settings/content

  • → Select Camera and Microphone

  • → Ensure both are set to “Allow.”

Plug In Your Laptop

• Make sure your laptop is plugged into a power source.

• Recording video can drain your battery quickly, and unexpected shutdowns can ruin your session.

Wear Headphones

• Wearing headphones prevents audio feedback and echo, which improves the audio quality for both you and other participants.

• Use over-ear or in-ear headphones with a built-in microphone if possible, AirPods will work - just make sure they are charged up!

• Use an External Microphone (Optional but Recommended)

• If available, use an external microphone for the best sound quality.

• USB microphones or XLR microphones with an audio interface work well.
