Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance that simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by reducing the number of accounting models and the number of embedded conversion features that could be recognized separately from the primary contract. The guidance enhances transparency and improves disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings per share guidance. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. This update permits the use of either the modified retrospective or fully retrospective method of transition. We are in the process of evaluating the effect that this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In January 2017, the FASB issued new guidance simplifying the test for goodwill impairment. The new guidance eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, instead requiring an entity to recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. This guidance is effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. We do not currently expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance amending existing guidance for the accounting of credit losses on financial instruments. Under the new guidance, the valuation allowance for credit losses is expected to be incurred over the financial asset’s contractual term. We reviewed the new credit loss standard and determined that it applies to our accounts receivable, which are typically of short duration and for which we have not historically experienced significant credit losses. This guidance is effective for us in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 with any cumulative effect of adoption recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. We are in the process of evaluating the effect that this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business. RealNetworks provides digital media software and services to consumers, mobile carriers, device manufacturers, system integrators, and other businesses. Consumers use our digital media products and services to store, organize, play, manage and enjoy their digital media content, either directly from us or through our distribution partners. Over time, we have leveraged our technical expertise and access to proprietary data sources to develop a new generation of artificial intelligence (AI)-based products and solutions. The main two products and key investment initiatives in our AI portfolio are SAFR, our AI-based computer vision platform, and Kontxt, our natural language processing-based message classification and analysis product. Rhapsody International, Inc. (doing business as Napster) was held-for-sale and treated as discontinued operations for accounting and disclosure purposes as of the third quarter of 2020. The sale of Napster was completed during the fourth quarter of 2020. The results of operations and cash flows for our discontinued operations have been segregated from the results of continuing operations and segment results, and Napster’s operating results were recast to conform to this presentation in 2020. The notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated, are on a continuing operations basis. See Note 5. Dispositions for additional details regarding the sale of Napster. Inherent in our business are various risks and uncertainties, including a limited history of certain of our product and service offerings. RealNetworks' success will depend on the acceptance of our technology, products and services and the ability to generate related revenue and cash flow. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (10-Q or Report), RealNetworks, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is referred to as "RealNetworks," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our." "RealPlayer," "RMHD," "RealMedia," "GameHouse," "Kontxt," "SAFR" and other trademarks of ours appearing in this report are our property. Basis of Presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries in which it has a more than 50% voting interest. Noncontrolling interests primarily represent third-party ownership in the equity of Napster and Scener Inc. ("Scener") and are reflected separately in the Company's financial statements. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented. Operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent period or for the year ending December 31, 2021. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Company continues to incur operating losses from continuing operations, including net operating losses of $6.2 million and $4.8 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $559.3 million and $548.9 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents of $17.0 million as of March 31, 2021, as well as the unused capacity of its revolving line of credit are adequate to fund the Company's operations for at least one year from the date these financial statements were issued. Additionally, in April 2021, we received net proceeds of approximately $20.3 million from the completion of an equity offering, as described in Note 14. Subsequent Events, Risks and Uncertainties. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 to be a global pandemic. As the virus spread throughout the U.S. and the world, authorities implemented numerous measures to contain the virus, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, business limitations, and shutdowns. In addition to the pandemic's widespread impact on public health and global society, reactions to the pandemic as well as measures taken to contain the virus have caused significant turmoil to the global economy and financial markets. Moreover, similar to other companies, we have taken steps to support the health and well-being of our employees, customers, partners and communities, which include working remotely and learning to operate our businesses in a fundamentally different way. The COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant economic instability and financial market turmoil has added complexity, uncertainty and risk to nearly all aspects of our business. It is difficult to predict the near-term and long-term impacts that the pandemic will have on our results from operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows. In the preparation of our financial statements, certain estimates and assumptions regarding these impacts have been made, which could change in future periods and which could differ from actual outcomes. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the 10-K). |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue Recognition | Note 3. Revenue Recognition We generate all of our revenue through contracts with customers. Revenue is either recognized over time as the service is provided, or at a point in time when the product is transferred to the customer, depending on the contract type. Our performance obligations typically have an original duration of one year or less. Disaggregation of Revenue The following table presents our disaggregated revenue by source and segment (in thousands): Quarter Ended March 31, 2021 Consumer Media Mobile Services Games Business Line Software License $ 1,875 $ 1,391 $ — Subscription Services 818 4,589 2,528 Product Sales 438 — 3,163 Advertising and Other 178 — 908 Total $ 3,309 $ 5,980 $ 6,599 Quarter Ended March 31, 2020 Consumer Media Mobile Services Games Business Line Software License $ 2,020 $ 831 $ — Subscription Services 929 5,859 2,770 Product Sales 222 — 2,978 Advertising and Other 324 — 889 Total $ 3,495 $ 6,690 $ 6,637 The following table presents our disaggregated revenue by sales channel (in thousands): Quarter Ended March 31, 2021 Consumer Media Mobile Services Games Sales Channel Business to Business $ 2,053 $ 5,885 $ 1,061 Direct to Consumer 1,256 95 5,538 Total $ 3,309 $ 5,980 $ 6,599 Quarter Ended March 31, 2020 Consumer Media Mobile Services Games Sales Channel Business to Business $ 2,343 $ 6,584 $ 1,095 Direct to Consumer 1,152 106 5,542 Total $ 3,495 $ 6,690 $ 6,637 Contract Balances The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to our customers. We record accounts receivable when the right to consideration becomes unconditional, except for the passage of time. For certain contracts, payment schedules may exceed one year; for those contracts we recognize a long-term receivable. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our balance of long-term accounts receivable was $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, and is included in other long-term assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The decrease in this balance from December 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021 is primarily due to the timing of expected cash receipts. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we recorded no impairments to our contract assets. We record deferred revenue when cash payments are received in advance of our completion of the underlying performance obligation. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had a deferred revenue balance of $2.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively, primarily due to deferred revenue associated with monthly subscriptions. Judgments and Estimates Our contracts with customers can include obligations to provide multiple services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together can require significant judgment. For example, certain contracts include the sale of software licenses or subscriptions as well as services to be delivered over time. Judgment is also required to determine the standalone selling price ("SSP") for each distinct performance obligation in these arrangements. We allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on the relative SSP. We determine SSP for performance obligations based on overall pricing objectives, which take into consideration observable prices and market conditions. For certain of our contracts, we recognize revenues using the sales- and usage-based exception as defined in the licensing guidance of Topic 606. For these contracts, we typically receive reporting of actual usage a quarter in arrears, and as such, we are required to estimate the current quarter's usage. To make these estimates, we utilize historical reporting information, as well as industry trends and interim reporting to quantify total quarterly usage. As actual usage information is received, we record a true-up in the following quarter to reflect any variance from our estimate. In the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we did not record any material true-ups to our consolidated financial statements. Practical Expedients |

Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure | Note 5. Dispositions RealNetworks, Inc. entered into a Support Agreement dated August 25, 2020 by and among its 84%-owned subsidiary, Rhapsody International, Inc. (doing business as Napster), and MelodyVR Group PLC, an English public limited company. The Support Agreement was executed in connection with an Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Napster, MelodyVR, and a wholly owned subsidiary of MelodyVR. The transaction was completed on December 30, 2020. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the closing date, MelodyVR's subsidiary merged with and into Napster, with Napster surviving and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of MelodyVR. Other than as Securityholder Representative, RealNetworks is not a party to the Merger Agreement. MelodyVR paid consideration of approximately $26 million to certain holders of debt and equity of Napster, comprised of $12 million in cash, shares of MelodyVR, and a $3 million 18-month indemnity escrow. Of the cash consideration, approximately $5.3 million was used to fully repay the advance to Napster on the revolving line of credit, pay Napster's transaction expenses, and pay amounts to certain of Napster's common stockholders. Additionally, $2.5 million of the cash proceeds were used and 47.8 million MelodyVR shares are to be used by RealNetworks to settle a contingent consideration obligation associated with our January 2019 acquisition from a third party of both a 42% stake in Napster and a $5 million loan to Napster. Net of these items, RealNetworks retained approximately $4.2 million in cash and 173.3 million shares of MelodyVR, as well as the right to any funds released from the $3 million escrow account. The shares of MelodyVR that RealNetworks received may not be sold or transferred, except in limited circumstances, for a period of approximately one year from the close of the transaction. In March 2021, MelodyVR changed its name to Napster Group PLC (the "Napster Group") and the stock symbol was changed from MVR to NAPS. Effective on the execution of the Agreement and Plan of Merger on August 25, 2020, Napster was treated as discontinued operations and held-for-sale for accounting and disclosure purposes and subsequently sold in December 2020. As such, Napster’s operating results were recast to conform to this presentation. The following table summarizes the loss from discontinued operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2020: Revenue $ 26,323 Cost of revenue 20,072 Gross profit 6,251 Operating expenses 6,504 Operating loss (253) Other income 294 Income from discontinued operations before income taxes 41 Income tax expense 114 Net loss from discontinued operations (73) Noncontrolling interests in net income from discontinued operations 6 Net loss from discontinued operations attributable to RealNetworks $ (79) The 18-month indemnity escrow, which is included in Other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, was reduced from $3.0 million to $2.8 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. We are not aware of any additional claims against the escrow at March 31, 2021. |

Fair Value Measurements Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following tables present information about our financial assets that have been measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs utilized to determine fair value (in thousands) : Fair Value Measurements as of Amortized Cost as of March 31, 2021 March 31, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 17,015 $ — $ — $ 17,015 $ 17,015 Investments — — 5,693 5,693 N/A Restricted cash equivalents 1,630 — — 1,630 1,630 Total assets $ 18,645 $ — $ 5,693 $ 24,338 N/A Liabilities: Accrued and other current liabilities Napster acquisition contingent consideration $ — $ — $ 3,760 $ 3,760 N/A Other long-term liabilities Simple Agreements for Future Equity — — 2,106 2,106 N/A Total liabilities $ — $ — $ 5,866 $ 5,866 N/A Fair Value Measurements as of Amortized Cost as of December 31, 2020 December 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 23,940 $ — $ — $ 23,940 $ 23,940 Investments — — 9,965 9,965 N/A Restricted cash equivalents 1,630 — — 1,630 1,630 Total assets $ 25,570 $ — $ 9,965 $ 35,535 N/A Liabilities: Accrued and other current liabilities Napster acquisition contingent consideration $ — $ — $ 4,800 $ 4,800 N/A Other long-term liabilities Simple Agreements for Future Equity — — 2,106 2,106 N/A Total liabilities $ — $ — $ 6,906 $ 6,906 N/A Restricted cash equivalents as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 primarily relate to maintaining a minimum balance of unrestricted cash at the bank. See Note 8. Debt for additional details. Investments as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are comprised of Napster Group ordinary shares received as a portion of the consideration from the Napster disposition, which closed on December 30, 2020. The fair value of these equity securities was calculated using the closing price of the shares as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and discounted for a lack of liquidity due to the 12-month contractual restriction on selling or transferring the shares, subject to certain exceptions. The determination of the discount required the use of significant unobservable inputs, such as the lock-up period combined with an estimated equity volatility for the shares, that reflect our own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use. A 10% increase or decrease to the equity volatility rate could result in a $0.1 million decrease or increase, respectively, in the fair value of the stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized unrealized losses of $4.3 million in Loss on equity and other investments, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Accrued and other current liabilities as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 includes the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration for the Napster acquisition, which was determined using a fair value measurement categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The valuation methodology of the contingent consideration at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was based on RealNetworks' contractual obligation to pay the seller of the Napster interests acquired by RealNetworks in January 2019. In April 2021, the Company and the seller agreed on the form of final payment of the contingent consideration, resulting in a cash payment of $2.5 million and the transfer of 47.8 million ordinary shares of Napster Group, valued at the December 2020 Napster sale closing date, discounted for a lack of liquidity due to the restriction on selling or transferring the shares. The change in the share price of the Napster Group ordinary shares from the sale closing date to the settlement date resulted in a fair value adjustment to the contingent consideration. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized a gain of $1.0 million in Fair value adjustments to contingent consideration liability on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In the third quarter of 2020, Scener, our non-wholly owned subsidiary, received $2.1 million in cash in exchange for the issuance of convertible securities, each a Simple Agreement for Future Equity. The conversion of these securities, or SAFE Notes, is contingent upon the occurrence of specific future capital-raising events by Scener. The future contingent events also contemplate the possibility of Scener having to pay back the original cash investment to each investor. The SAFE Notes are recorded as a liability on our consolidated financial statements within Other long-term liabilities and are required to be recorded at fair value each quarter. The valuation analysis model for the fair value of the SAFE Notes as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 used significant unobservable inputs that reflect our own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use. There has been no significant change in the estimated fair value since the issuance in the third quarter of 2020. Significant unobservable inputs to the valuation analysis model include the underlying conversion date for the SAFE Notes, Scener's capitalization prior to conversion of the SAFE Notes, an 80% discount rate as defined in the SAFE Note agreements, conversion price, conversion shares and an annual present value rate. All of the inputs are subject to significant judgment. Based on Scener's outstanding shares, without regard to potential dilution by the SAFE Notes or any other convertible securities, RealNetworks owns 82% of Scener. See Note 13. Related Party Transactions for additional discussion of Scener. Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis Certain of our assets and liabilities are measured at estimated fair value on a non-recurring basis, using Level 3 inputs. These instruments are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we did not record any impairments on those assets required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Debt | Note 8. Debt The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, signed into law in March 2020, established the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep workers on their payroll. Through the PPP, participating banks write loans to eligible businesses and loan amounts are forgiven to the extent that employee retention criteria are met and proceeds are used to cover eligible costs over a 24-week measurement period following loan funding. In April 2020, following an assessment of eligibility and approval of its Board of Directors, RealNetworks issued a promissory note to a participating bank in the principal amount of $2.9 million pursuant to the PPP. The note has a maturity of 2 years, an interest rate of 1.0%, no pre-payment penalty, a ten-month deferment period starting after the 24-week measurement period, and is eligible for forgiveness pursuant to PPP guidelines. In April 2020, the Secretary of the Treasury and Small Business Administration (SBA) announced that the government will review all PPP loans of more than $2.0 million before there is forgiveness. We applied for forgiveness in January 2021. No assurance can be given that we will be granted forgiveness for the PPP loan. The PPP loan will be derecognized upon confirmation of forgiveness from the SBA and/or upon repayment of the loan in accordance with its terms. In August 2019, RealNetworks and Napster entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (Loan Agreement) with a third-party financial institution. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the bank extended a revolving line of credit (Revolver) not to exceed $10.0 million in the aggregate. In December 2020, at the time of closing the sale of Napster, as further described in Note 5. Dispositions, certain terms of the Loan Agreement were amended, including the removal of Napster as a party to the lending agreement. In February 2021, we entered into an amendment with the bank on our Revolver, whereby the borrowing base for the Revolver is comprised of accounts receivable and direct to consumer deposits for RealNetworks only. Borrowings may not exceed $6.5 million and are reduced by a $1.0 million standby letter of credit entered into with the bank in connection with certain lease agreements. Advances bear interest at a rate equal to one-half of one percentage point (0.5%) above the greater of the prime rate or 3.25%. The Revolver matures August 1, 2022. The Loan Agreement contains customary covenants, including financial covenants, minimum EBITDA levels to be updated annually, and maintaining a minimum balance of $1.5 million unrestricted cash at the bank. We are in the process of negotiating the customary covenants for 2021, and we do not expect the resulting revisions to have a material effect on the Loan Agreement. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings (Loss) Per Share | Note 10. Loss Per Share Basic net income (loss) per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to RealNetworks by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to RealNetworks by the weighted average number of common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted EPS (in thousands, except per share amounts): Quarter Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Net loss from continuing operations attributable to RealNetworks $ (10,448) $ (4,563) Net loss from discontinued operations attributable to RealNetworks — (79) Net loss attributable to RealNetworks $ (10,448) $ (4,642) Weighted average common shares outstanding used to compute basic EPS 38,502 38,229 Dilutive effect of stock based awards and Series B Preferred Stock — — Weighted average common shares outstanding used to compute diluted EPS 38,502 38,229 Net loss per share attributable to RealNetworks- Basic: Continuing operations $ (0.27) $ (0.12) Discontinued operations — — Total net loss per share - Basic $ (0.27) $ (0.12) Net loss per share attributable to RealNetworks- Diluted: Continuing operations $ (0.27) $ (0.12) Discontinued operations — — Total net loss per share - Diluted $ (0.27) $ (0.12) During the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, 4.5 million and 7.9 million shares of common stock, respectively, of potentially issuable shares from common stock awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because of their antidilutive effect. During 2020, approximately 8.1 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock were issued. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock on a one-to-one basis subject to the limitation described in Note 13. Related Party Transactions. During the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, these shares were also excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because of their antidilutive effect. |

Commitments and Contingencies | Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies We have been in the past and could become in the future subject to legal proceedings, governmental investigations, and claims in the ordinary course of business, including employment claims, contract-related claims, and claims of alleged infringement of third-party patents, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights. Such claims, even if not meritorious, could force us to expend significant financial and managerial resources. In addition, given the broad distribution of some of our consumer products, any individual claim related to those products could give rise to liabilities that may be material to us. In the event of a determination adverse to us, we may incur substantial monetary liability, and/or be required to change our business practices. Either of these could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. On April 6, 2020, RealNetworks Asia Pacific Co., Ltd. received notice of a civil lawsuit filed by Korean Music Copyright Association (KOMCA) seeking damages of $2.6 million. Also named as a defendant in the lawsuit is Kakao M Corp (formerly known as LOEN Entertainment Corp.), one of the largest media publishing companies in Korea, which operates the Melon music platform. The claim is for a late payment penalty under a music licensing contract, pursuant to which, from 2004 to 2017, RealNetworks licensed music for its services to LOEN for its Melon platform. The current lawsuit relates solely to the late payment of music licensing fees under the contract; the underlying music licensing fees were paid by Kakao M to KOMCA in a separate settlement prior to KOMCA’s filing of this lawsuit. While we believe we have meritorious defenses to this lawsuit and intend to vigorously defend RealNetworks, litigation is inherently uncertain and we cannot predict the outcome of this matter. We have not recorded an accrual related to this matter as of March 31, 2021 as it is early in the litigation and any potential liability cannot be reasonably estimated. |

Related Party Transactions | Note 13. Related Party Transactions The sale of Napster closed on December 30, 2020. For additional details, see Note 5. Dispositions. In February 2020, we entered into a Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with Mr. Glaser, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of RealNetworks, pursuant to which Mr. Glaser invested approximately $10.0 million in RealNetworks in exchange for the issuance to him of 8,064,516 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is non-voting and is convertible into common stock on a one-to-one basis, provided, however, that no conversion is permitted in the event that such conversion would cause Mr. Glaser’s beneficial ownership of our common stock to exceed the 38.5% threshold set forth in our Second Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan dated November 30, 2018. The Series B Preferred Stock has no liquidation preference and no preferred dividend. In July 2020, Mr. Glaser invested $0.7 million into a RealNetworks subsidiary, Scener. Scener is developing a platform that transforms the experience of viewing video entertainment into a social connected playground. The July 2020 funding was in addition to $0.8 million that Mr. Glaser had previously directly invested in 2019. In August 2020, this same subsidiary entered into agreements and received $1.4 million in funding from outside investors. The 2020 investments were in the form of SAFEs, as described in Note 6. Fair Value Measurements. As of March 31, 2021, RealNetworks owned approximately 82% of the subsidiary's outstanding equity, and we consolidate its financial results into our financial statements. The financial results of the subsidiary are reported in our Consumer Media segment. |

Description of Business | Description of Business. RealNetworks provides digital media software and services to consumers, mobile carriers, device manufacturers, system integrators, and other businesses. Consumers use our digital media products and services to store, organize, play, manage and enjoy their digital media content, either directly from us or through our distribution partners. Over time, we have leveraged our technical expertise and access to proprietary data sources to develop a new generation of artificial intelligence (AI)-based products and solutions. The main two products and key investment initiatives in our AI portfolio are SAFR, our AI-based computer vision platform, and Kontxt, our natural language processing-based message classification and analysis product. Rhapsody International, Inc. (doing business as Napster) was held-for-sale and treated as discontinued operations for accounting and disclosure purposes as of the third quarter of 2020. The sale of Napster was completed during the fourth quarter of 2020. The results of operations and cash flows for our discontinued operations have been segregated from the results of continuing operations and segment results, and Napster’s operating results were recast to conform to this presentation in 2020. The notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated, are on a continuing operations basis. See Note 5. Dispositions for additional details regarding the sale of Napster. Inherent in our business are various risks and uncertainties, including a limited history of certain of our product and service offerings. RealNetworks' success will depend on the acceptance of our technology, products and services and the ability to generate related revenue and cash flow. |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries in which it has a more than 50% voting interest. Noncontrolling interests primarily represent third-party ownership in the equity of Napster and Scener Inc. ("Scener") and are reflected separately in the Company's financial statements. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented. Operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent period or for the year ending December 31, 2021. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). |

The Company had an accumulated deficit of $559.3 million and $548.9 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents of $17.0 million as of March 31, 2021, as well as the unused capacity of its revolving line of credit are adequate to fund the Company's operations for at least one year from the date these financial statements were issued.

Risk and Uncertainties Text block | Risks and Uncertainties. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 to be a global pandemic. As the virus spread throughout the U.S. and the world, authorities implemented numerous measures to contain the virus, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, business limitations, and shutdowns. In addition to the pandemic's widespread impact on public health and global society, reactions to the pandemic as well as measures taken to contain the virus have caused significant turmoil to the global economy and financial markets. Moreover, similar to other companies, we have taken steps to support the health and well-being of our employees, customers, partners and communities, which include working remotely and learning to operate our businesses in a fundamentally different way. The COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant economic instability and financial market turmoil has added complexity, uncertainty and risk to nearly all aspects of our business. It is difficult to predict the near-term and long-term impacts that the pandemic will have on our results from operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows. In the preparation of our financial statements, certain estimates and assumptions regarding these impacts have been made, which could change in future periods and which could differ from actual outcomes. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segments | Note 12. Segment Information We manage our business and report revenue and operating income (loss) in three segments: (1) Consumer Media, which includes licensing of our codec technology and our PC-based RealPlayer products, including RealPlayer Plus and related products; (2) Mobile Services, which includes our SaaS services, our integrated RealTimes® platform which is sold to mobile carriers and our computer vision platform, SAFR (Secure Accurate Facial Recognition); and (3) Games, which includes all our games-related businesses, including sales of in-game virtual goods, mobile games and games licenses, games subscription services, and in-game advertising and advertising on game sites. RealNetworks allocates to its Consumer Media, Mobile Services and Games reportable segments certain corporate expenses which are directly attributable to supporting these businesses, including but not limited to a portion of finance, legal, human resources and headquarters facilities. Remaining expenses, which are not directly attributable to supporting these businesses, are reported as corporate items. These corporate items may also include changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability, restructuring charges, and stock compensation charges. RealNetworks reports three reportable segments based on factors such as how we manage our operations and how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) reviews results. The CODM reviews financial information presented on both a consolidated basis and on a business segment basis.

Unobservable Measurement Input, Uncertainty, Description | In the third quarter of 2020, Scener, our non-wholly owned subsidiary, received $2.1 million in cash in exchange for the issuance of convertible securities, each a Simple Agreement for Future Equity. The conversion of these securities, or SAFE Notes, is contingent upon the occurrence of specific future capital-raising events by Scener. The future contingent events also contemplate the possibility of Scener having to pay back the original cash investment to each investor. The SAFE Notes are recorded as a liability on our consolidated financial statements within Other long-term liabilities and are required to be recorded at fair value each quarter. The valuation analysis model for the fair value of the SAFE Notes as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 used significant unobservable inputs that reflect our own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use. There has been no significant change in the estimated fair value since the issuance in the third quarter of 2020. Significant unobservable inputs to the valuation analysis model include the underlying conversion date for the SAFE Notes, Scener's capitalization prior to conversion of the SAFE Notes, an 80% discount rate as defined in the SAFE Note agreements, conversion price, conversion shares and an annual present value rate. All of the inputs are subject to significant judgment. Based on Scener's outstanding shares, without regard to potential dilution by the SAFE Notes or any other convertible securities, RealNetworks owns 82% of Scener. See Note 13. Related Party Transactions for additional discussion of Scener. | |||

Unobservable Measurement Input, Uncertainty, Description | Investments as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are comprised of Napster Group ordinary shares received as a portion of the consideration from the Napster disposition, which closed on December 30, 2020. The fair value of these equity securities was calculated using the closing price of the shares as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and discounted for a lack of liquidity due to the 12-month contractual restriction on selling or transferring the shares, subject to certain exceptions. The determination of the discount required the use of significant unobservable inputs, such as the lock-up period combined with an estimated equity volatility for the shares, that reflect our own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use. A 10% increase or decrease to the equity volatility rate could result in a $0.1 million decrease or increase, respectively, in the fair value of the stock.
