Easy as pressing a button

I was having a problem with another livestream program, as it was not able to use all the power of my processor, so I decided to buy the xsplit which besides taking good advantage of my processor surprised me by being lighter than the old one that I used which helped a lot in the gain of fps in games that I do streaming.

PROS

XSplit Broadcaster was one of the few livestream programs that was really easy and intuitive to set up, without requiring any knowledge anyone who wants to do livestream will be able to use it, even having a computer with basic settings.

CONS

The only thing missing for him to be perfect and have more addons in the app store.

Reasons for switching to XSplit Broadcaster

Because the OBS couldn't use my processor well when it was released at the time, and still can't.

A simple streaming program that uses a little too much CPU.

PROS

From setup to broadcast, getting XSplit to do its thing is incredibly simple. It even has hooks built in for just about any streaming service you could want.

CONS

The biggest problem I have with XSplit is that it causes major slowdown in my games. That is a significant problem considering the use of this program. I hope they can one day slim it down a bit, until then I'm content using an alternative source that doesn't provide anywhere near the options XSplit does.

Xsplit broadcaster is a great product

Product experience is good. There is still room for improvement.

PROS

Session recording and live streaming features are great.

CONS

Lack of plugins. I think xsplit should develop plug-ins and themes for the users for streaming purposes.

Reason for choosing XSplit Broadcaster

Ease of use and product has intuitive interface.

XSplit Broadcasting with twitch and you

XSplit Broadcaster has features that can help you create great streams to Twitch and other services such as Facebook and Youtube. I had my doubts at first. But have to admit using this is a better option for the beginner streamer/gamer/media content creator.

PROS

The Ability to craft your own title and tags for ease of search. The list of compatible technology that integrates with the software and the amount of data servers there are to help accommodate your needs when streaming whether on wifi or on a ethernet connection, XSplit is a wonder at ease to use for your Podcast, Game streaming, reviewer needs and wants.

CONS

I am not sure that there are many cons to this software. Maybe one thing that is disappointing about the program is the lack of customization. There is software out there like OBS that allow for graphic additions, sounds, scrolling marquee for promotionals.

Reason for choosing XSplit Broadcaster

For exposure, to get a little more experience with video streaming and editing while tooling around with Gaming Streams and Podcasting with others.

Reasons for switching to XSplit Broadcaster

It was a easier to use interface, the instructions were clear and concise. There is a community out there that is helpful without the toxic abuse from other communities.

XSplit is OK for streaming, but where it really shines is video recording for trailer production

I've been looking for a reliable video capture software to capture footage of video games that I am developing, to edit into trailers. Video resolution, fixed frame rate capture, file size and quality were my main concerns.

PROS

XSplit runs smooth and quietly when used for high res, high framerate video capture. It can handle 2k and 4k recordings without hiccups and with a small file size. Video quality is fantastic.

CONS

The streaming features and overlay features are lacking customisation options, though I don't really use the software for that.

Reason for choosing XSplit Broadcaster

Other tools like fraps don't work well with high res footage capture, and the files are insanely large when it comes to editing. OBS is a great free tool for flexible streaming features, though the recorded video quality isn't up to scratch, and the files are too large.

Reasons for switching to XSplit Broadcaster

Fraps is poorly optimised for capturing high res (2k and 4k) footage. The program often crashes or provides a black screen output, and the file sizes generated are enormous.

XSplit is an excellent streaming broadcast platform.

When we use XSplit, it's usually for 2 types of events. #1 - We record and broadcast over the internet a locally hosted event. It does this perfectly, and there is no other solution that can match XSplit for this. It just works amazinly well. #2 - We capture and re-broadcast (multicast) internally for bandwidth savings across hundress of screens. Usually this is only when major world events are happening, but we do it several times a year. XSplit is also the top choice for this totally flexible solution. We may not know what our source medium is until minutes before broadcast, but X Split can always handle it.

PROS

XSplit can do what you probably want it to do, with it's army of plugins, and more. The scene features, overlays, and more give a nice feature set that's easy and "Just Works." The local broadcast option has been an important feature for us.

CONS

XSplit is a very sign on type program .You login to launch. This might be fine for most environments, but it felt a bit "Home User," type to us when deploying. The performance is not affected by this at all, and I find XSplit superb in all other regards. Frequent Updates can be both a Pro and a Con for the monthly user.

Reason for choosing XSplit Broadcaster

XSplit is a little easier to user, and performs better overal.

XSplit Broadcaster - Commercial version of Open Source software

We used this software during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. We tied to produce some instructional videos but found that as we worked with it side-by-side with OBS that the flexibility was not there as much as we wanted. Too many pre-packaged options that did not work for us.

PROS

XSplit Broadcaster is good software, don't get me wrong. However, it is not comparable to it's Open Source rival OBS. It has a great interface and very flashy, but it is a resource hog and does not provide the end results to justify it. By far the best part of the XSplit software is XSplit vCam!!!

CONS

It uses a tremendous amount of resources of my laptop (i7 8th Gen with SSD) and does not provide the flexibility of other products in the ability to put together great presentations.

Reason for choosing XSplit Broadcaster

We went to XSplit Broadcaster for the ease of use and better interface, unfortunately looks are not everything. OBS provided the outcomes we needed.

Not enough for streaming or recording

PROS

I was able to do streaming and recording pretty well but its too expensive when there are better and free softwares like obs.

It costs too much, and causes performance difficulties on some games.

NOT for professional production

Waste of my time, and wish to warn other pros.

PROS

The install was smooth, my camera was detected properly on first try, and it does a great job of finding the subject in the foreground. Great for home users -only.

CONS

THE MAIN FEATURE DOESN'T Keep a consistent alpha channel around the subject and I could never use this for professional production due to the erratic changes to my profile during testing. I used good lighting, tried many angles, and ultimately have screenshots showing parts of my head missing. (Yes I adjusted all settings I could find).

Reason for choosing XSplit Broadcaster

I chose this platform as it is new and I wanted to see if the technology had advanced enough for professional production.

Xsplit : the OBS for the rich ones

xSplit is the one and only software for broadcasting use when you are a small webTV but you have to pay this expansive subscription in order to use it...

PROS

You can do pretty much everything with xSplit, it’s most likely OBS but better, with more options and a more pro look

CONS

You have to pay a subscription to use the software! It’s expansive and not that profitable when you know that a cheap and free version is available like OBS or SL-OBS

It's not bad but not great

My overall experience using xsplit was great, but I eventually wanted to do more then what I could actually do with the free and didn't feel like paying.

PROS

Xsplit has a lot of neat features, such as overlays customizing your screen, your backdrop, so forth. It has been many moons since I've used xsplit but it is still one of the best streaming software's out there in my opinion. For those of you who just want to stream and go xsplit is a great software and I would recommend it for you.

CONS

To get into most of the stuff that I wanted to do, it required payment and that wasn't really what i was all about at that time because i wasn't making any money during streams. This is the only thing that led me to switch

Good and Easy to Use Software, But Not Without Competition

Xsplit is a good and functional piece of software. If there are features that Xsplit has that other competitors lack, then it will make up for its price-tag through those features.

PROS

Xsplit is an easy to use, professional-grade streaming program. Being a paid piece of software, it benefits from professional support and documentation, better stability and compatibility compared to free solutions, and more features. Some hardware, like my Elgato Game Capture HD, functioned better in XSplit compared to another program, OBS. In OBS, the Game Capture HD refused to sync the video and audio signals, with no way to properly correct the desync. XSplit has never had a problem with any of my hardware, while OBS is often less agreeable, but workable. Xsplit easily integrates with streaming platforms, such as YouTube Live and Twitch. This allows you to log in through XSplit to your account to create a direct link between the two instead of needing to work with stream keys and stream URLs. It also features integrated media and editing controls. Media can easily be added to XSplit without adding another source. Clips in XSplit can also be edited together in-program.

CONS

XSplit is a paid piece of software, compared to free solutions such as GeForce Experience (with an NVIDIA Card), OBS Studio, and Streamlabs OBS. While XSplit, especially early in the streaming rush, was more capable than original OBS, other solutions are catching up in terms of feature sets, especially for those who exclusively stream.

Broadcasting Power House!

I bought the lifetime licensing and won't use another service to stream!

PROS

I love how easy to use it is, and that it can easily detect all my devices quickly! I love the detail in scene editing it allows me. The preview editor is clutch to make changes on the fly. Also their liecesing deals are very affordable.

CONS

The only con I can think of is that more gear should be made to work with xsplit over any other braodcasting service.
