Xsplit Broadcaster Reviews & Product Details

The broadcaster has all these tools, plugins, sources and outputs so you can have a clean, professional, high-performance streaming session. It integrates with Youtube, Twitch, Spotify, Facebook, Elgato, Restream, Livestream, Streamshark and many more. With the scenes, you can prepare layouts and push them live so it gives you time to edit names at the lower-thirds and give transitions to these scenes so you have a complete TV show look and feel. You can use plugins to show your interactions with viewers, show alerts, music playing, show donations, reactions and even integrate Xsplit Broadcaster with other Xsplit products like Vcam and Presenter. With the Vcam installed on your pc and phone on the same network you can use your phone's cameras as other inputs. I can also integrate it with Xsplit presenter that allows you to have a bit more of control of your powerpoints presentations and it won't occupy a whole monitor for this. You can also add and control several audio inputs and edit the equalization so you provide exactly what you want.

The paid version looks too similar to OBS which is free. In the last months, I've seen some changes and upgrades towards distancing themselves from OBS but they are still not that far away.

I needed to get up fast and running in less than a day and I got it with Xsplit Broadcaster. I can have several cameras as inputs and I give my clients a TV show experience that I'm selling quite fine.

I enjoy the customizability and ease of use that XSplit offers. I have found it extremely easy to begin streaming without too much setup. XSplit is easy to use right "out of the box."

I have yet to encounter a feature or design that I didn't condone or enjoy. Thus far, I haven't found anything to sully my experience with XSplit. It's a serviceable and affordable alternative to OBS, even if they don't share all of the same functionality.

XSplit makes it easy to display different customer windows across platforms while streaming. It makes for a more immersive, seamless, and professional streaming experience.

I like how affordable it is and simple to use. It has all the features that are great for streaming and perfecting your overall webcam look. I love the different background settings and all the adjustments you can make on your webcam. I also really love that you can use your phone as a webcam instead. Not many software's offer this feature.

The only thing I don't care for is if you don't want to pay for it, then you get the watermark. That goes for most of these types of software, unfortunately, but overall it's still beneficial if you're not paying.

The feature that allows you to use your phone as a webcam, that solves a big problem if you don't want to spend extra money on a decent webcam. The backgrounds are also great and make for a professional-looking environment.

I love that i'm able to stream to all platforms simultaneously & implement features like custom backgrounds, weblinks, and a really fan-centric style stream

It was a little expensive to purchase but overall I'd say its more than worth it. There is also an issue with its webcam software Vcam that causes it to automatically turn the saturation levels up to the max which is pretty iritating

Streaming to multiple platforms at the same time

Easy to use and GREAT techinical support

It doesn't integrate with Touch Portal as easily as OBS and you have to sign in each time you use it.

Live streaming at my church was much harder before I switched to XSplit. Multiple cameras and video sources are really simple to set up.

it's easy to use, selecting the source, setup scene, switching scene

didn't really run into things I don't like

we were running a Blackmagic Design Switcher, trying to capture with a USB 3.0 capture card, then broadcast through OBS but just could never get the setting right, had to give xsplit a try, and later fully switched to xsplit for all live broadcasting

It has a lot of pre-loaded window styles and borders. Gives you a lot of control over both audio and video quality and effects. Also has a voice changer option that is a very fun feature.

Linking your youtube account is very tiresome and takes all the functionalities of youtube studio away from you. I had a lot of trouble signing in to my youtube account when I first installed it.

I frequently play and stream Valorant using Xsplit. I am pretty satisfied with the out[ut I am getting on my youtube live stream as far as video and audio quality goes.

I can add in personal screens, I can add in video, I can add in various screens for multiple acts in making a single video

Unfortunately sometimes it needs to do an update just before I launch the product so I am not aware of that

In sharing the screen especially if it is one of my longer videos. Plus I can start larger and end small

It is very simple to setup with a minimal design. It allows multistream to different social networks like YouTube and Facebook at the same time. Easy integration with YouTube and Facebook by means of simple logins. No need to copy stream keys.

The login needs to be performed each time the software loads. And that may become cumbersome

I can stream to various platforms and also record and share my screen with minimal efforts.

XSplit Broadcaster easy of use and reliability are, in my opinion, the best aces in this new software. I have been using for the past few months in conjunction with XSplit Video that gives me the possibility to change background transforming my office in an outstanding cityscape or to show behind me my business logo.

Being using it just for a few months, I do not have dislikes so far. Even if I try to find one ... I could not but, based on my experience, I know that something will transpire in the future. The only thing that I can say is that I will keep you posted.

The problem that a broadcaster can find is the setting of resolutions, the editing of the videos including sound. All minor problems when to come to XSplit Broadcast. Its easy layout makes it possible to have all the controls on hand and in this way avoid the back and forth that sometimes makes editing and broadcasting a difficult job.

Very easy to get started with and use with no knowledge of how to work it. I was able to get it up and running very quickly.

The organization of my files when I recorded something and wanted to put it with another clip. After awhile I figured out where things were going but wished it wasn’t so many steps.

I wanted to do custom broadcast to my social media channels. I’m able to brand my videos and show things in real-time as I broadcast.

I love how stable it is, its large selection of plug-ins and customization, and how little the layout of the software changes from version to version (so no re-figuring out where everything is located *cough*ADOBE*cough*).

It has a learning curve, and requires some pre-production time to get everything set up and ready to go. It does let you save different stream layouts (which it calls "presentations") and will automatically load and hold the last one opened, but you still have to set it all up. You can create hotkeys and macros (but you have to take the time to set it up), can broadcast to a multitude of platforms including with custom RTMP (but, yet again, you have to take the time to set it up), and can even have participants in the steam with you via NewTek NDI (which takes time and a little effort to set up, and I still haven't done yet). So yeah, the setup time and effort takes some time. But once you do, it's awesome.

I've used this to completely rework a live fundraising event to be held via Zoom by using this to host both live participants and pre-recorded footage blended together to not disturb the audience. I've recorded multitrack podcasts, let's plays, software tutorials, and more. Ultimately, this is my go-to software for screen captures.

What I like the most is that it allows you to configure the quality of the broadcast in many technical aspects and offers a very efficient consumption of resources. In addition, it supports almost any form of input (video, screenshot, web pages, Skype) and extensions of almost any type thanks to its large community of users.

It is very difficult to dislike some of the software itself as it is great. The only downside that I see is that the license is somewhat high in price and has hardly any plans, only one free, extremely limited, and one complete, with too many functions for some.

Xsplit allows me to make Internet broadcasts about the programming of various softwares so that users can see the operation of some open source programs that I create and so that novice developers can learn to program. Thanks to the I can capture the screen and the microphone without problems, even the webcam or another screen when necessary, and broadcast it without problems.

I very much like the ease of use, especially for beginners (which is where I was at one point in time). I've used it numerous times with my Elgato Game Capture HD without fault at all, whereas other programs like OBS, have fallen to the wayside because of their incompatibility with it.

It falls flat on a few features that other pieces of software have utilised for a while. OBS is obviously the number one competitor here, with features and links to Nvidia (NVENC) and is a little more customisable / friendly with plugins and addons.

Xsplit runs far better than OBS, on my system at least. I don't know if others find that, but I certainly do.

The point that its free and you dont need a lot of knowledge to use it

There's other software with better solutions and integrations. Also they have features that wont have xsplit

I did time ago my first attends on streaming in twitch.tv and it was quite good

Very easy to use and a lot of options to organize multiple screens, webcam, etc

High use of CPU and lack of keystroke record. There's an option to show all the keyboard and color the keystrokes but is useless and very ugly

Record my screen to explain how to do things to my colleagues

Not much to be honest... The UI doesn't look any more modern or functional than OBS.

Paid. Watermarks on certain features. Makes you sit and look at an ad to buy their software for 10 seconds every time you launch the program. Some features in the UI are locked down and prompt you to pay.

None, switched back to OBS for all streaming needs.

This product is a wasted effort. The product does not work at all and there is no support.

Not getting what you paid for can be a real bad vibe

it created more problems than it solved.

I loved the ease of use. At one point we were doing a lot of live streaming and XSplit was the easiest to set up and use streaming software. It looked very professional at an affordable cost which is what I liked about it.

Nothing, it did everything with simplicity and ease.

We needed a solution for live streaming to YouTube and Stitch and XSplit was great.

The various utilities and options it provides in order to get the work done effectively and efficiently.

A bit complicated platform for new users.

It helps in live streaming any kind of media with ease.
