About Us
From bedroom studios to satellite-distributed broadcast networks, Riverbend Live gives every producer the infrastructure that used to require a six-figure budget.
Our Mission
Professional live video infrastructure used to cost tens of thousands of dollars and months of engineering effort. We set out to give every creator, educator, and event organizer access to the same tools, at a fraction of the cost and complexity.
RTMP ingest from OBS, Streamlabs, or any hardware encoder. Wowza-powered HLS delivery with instant playback URLs — no ops headache, no server to manage.
Each producer gets their own space, vanity slug URL, and fully branded event pages. Share riverbend.live/yourname with your audience — clean, professional, yours.
Live chat, Q&A mode, polls, floating emoji reactions, and live viewer counts — all built in, no third-party embeds required.
The Team
Riverbend Live was born out of frustration — watching talented creators get priced out of professional streaming tools, or tangled in clunky platforms never designed for live events.
We are a small team of engineers and event producers based in the United States, obsessed with making video infrastructure feel simple. We use the platform ourselves for real events, so every fix and every feature comes from lived experience on both sides of the stream.
We are independent, self-funded, and focused on building something genuinely useful rather than chasing metrics. If you have feedback, we actually read it.
