[00:00:00] Speaker 1: You could already live stream to 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 16x9, but on another platform you want to go 9x16. You can do both of those at the same time and have your live stream formatted for 9x16 and 16x9 all in the same live stream all through your Riverside studio. 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 can 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 9x16 and on the right you have 16x9 so you can 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 in 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. Now I want to bring back up this other 16x9 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 16x9. If I have a guest it'll also format here and you can just see how each will look. So if I had a guest on here you could see it change every time that I do a different layout. 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 9x16 or in 16x9 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. 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 16x9 or 9x16. 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.

Arow Summary
Riverside now lets creators livestream simultaneously in multiple aspect ratios from one studio, such as 16:9 for YouTube and 9:16 for Facebook or other vertical-first platforms. Users enable livestreaming in the Stream panel, connect destinations, and assign each one a landscape or portrait format. The studio provides side-by-side previews, letting hosts inspect either format individually and see how overlays, screen sharing, guest layouts, and branding adapt. Viewers only receive the version intended for their platform, while the dual preview remains visible only to the host.
