Riverside and Dailies both end with vertical, captioned clips picked by an AI. What differs is where the conversation takes place. Riverside is a recording studio: you plan a session, send your guest a link, and everyone is recorded on their own device in up to 4K. Dailies is a Chrome extension: it records the Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom call you were going to hold anyway, and delivers up to eight shorts a few minutes after it ends. One is built for a show you produce, the other for the calls you already have.
Checked against Riverside’s own site on October 1, 2026.
Dailies
For people whose best material is said in client calls on Meet, Teams or Zoom, and who want shorts from them without moving anyone to a studio.
Riverside
For people who plan podcast or interview sessions with remote guests and want each participant recorded locally in up to 4K, with editing, live streaming and publishing in the same tool.

Riverside is a platform to record, edit and publish podcasts and video interviews. Recording happens in its own studio, in a browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari) or its Mac, iOS and Android apps: each participant’s audio and video are recorded on their own device and uploaded in the background, on separate tracks, for up to ten people, in up to 4K. A guest joins from an invite link, with no sign-up and nothing to install on a computer. Its Magic Clips find the highlights of a recording or of an uploaded file, typically two per five minutes of conversation according to its help centre, each 30 to 90 seconds long and scored from 70 to 99, with animated captions and vertical or widescreen presets. Its editor removes filler words and pauses, and a content planner schedules and publishes to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, X and Facebook. Riverside also offers live streaming, webinars, AI show notes, translation and dubbing, and transcribes about a hundred languages, French included.
Riverside records what happens in its studio. Your guest leaves the usual meeting link for a Riverside one, allows their camera and microphone, and keeps the tab open until their upload is confirmed; on a phone, they install its app. Dailies changes nothing for your guest: the call stays on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom, in Chrome, and the extension records the call tab, your microphone and your webcam. No bot joins the call.
Riverside’s own blog describes a way to record a Zoom meeting: open Zoom in another tab and share that tab, with its audio, into a Riverside studio. The call then enters the studio as a shared screen. On the pages we read, we found no integration that joins a Google Meet, Teams or Zoom call. Dailies is built for that case: it records the call tab, keeps your webcam on a track of its own and crops your guest’s tile on their face, so that a short shows whoever speaks, full screen.
A podcast guest expects to be seen. A client on a call often does not. Dailies has one switch that blurs your guests and disguises their voice in every short. We found no option to blur a guest or change their voice on the Riverside pages we read.
Local recording of every participant in up to 4K, a text-based editor with a timeline, live streaming and webinars, translation and dubbing, clips from an uploaded file, and a planner that posts for you. Dailies does none of that: it only handles the calls it recorded in Chrome, and you download each short in Full HD to post it yourself.
Riverside records in its own studio. Its blog describes one way to capture a Zoom meeting: open Zoom in another tab and share that tab, with its audio, into a Riverside studio. We found no integration that joins a Google Meet, Teams or Zoom call on the pages we read. Dailies records those calls from Chrome, where they take place.
Not on a computer. A guest clicks the invite link, enters a name and allows camera and microphone in Chrome, Edge or Safari, with no sign-up and no installation. On a phone, the Riverside app for iOS or Android must be installed, and the tab has to stay open until the upload is confirmed.
Yes. Its Magic Clips pick highlights from a recording or an uploaded file, add animated captions and come with vertical or widescreen presets for YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. Its help centre says it typically identifies two clips for every five minutes of conversation, each generally 30 to 90 seconds long.
No. Dailies is neither a studio nor an editor: it makes shorts from the calls you hold in Chrome on Meet, Teams or Zoom, and does not work on a video you upload. For a show you plan and produce, a studio such as Riverside is the right kind of tool.
Add Dailies to Chrome, record the call you were going to have anyway, and watch its shorts a few minutes after you hang up.
