"Takes Some Crafting, But Worth It"

4/5

What do you like best about XSplit Broadcaster?

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*). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about XSplit Broadcaster?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering XSplit Broadcaster:

Give yourself some time recording locally and testing your setup before taking it online. And keep your eyes peeled: While there is a subscription option, there is a lifetime license that goes down to $99 during Black Friday and includes all of their related software for free!

What problems is XSplit Broadcaster solving and how is that benefiting you?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"X Split Broadcaster is a necessary addition to all that want to enter the world ov video bradcast"

4.5/5

What do you like best about XSplit Broadcaster?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about XSplit Broadcaster?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering XSplit Broadcaster:

Try the Free version and I am sure that you will go Pro. It is worth a try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is XSplit Broadcaster solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

"Decent software - Functional and with a competitive price tag"

3.5/5

What do you like best about XSplit Broadcaster?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about XSplit Broadcaster?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering XSplit Broadcaster:

Consider free options, they often match the features of XSplit and add on to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is XSplit Broadcaster solving and how is that benefiting you?

Xsplit runs far better than OBS, on my system at least. I don't know if others find that, but I certainly do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"OBS Alternative"

4.5/5

What do you like best about XSplit Broadcaster?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about XSplit Broadcaster?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering XSplit Broadcaster:

Jump in and get started with it. Also don’t be afraid to try different functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is XSplit Broadcaster solving and how is that benefiting you?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not as Good as OBS"

1.5/5

What do you like best about XSplit Broadcaster?

Not much to be honest... The UI doesn't look any more modern or functional than OBS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about XSplit Broadcaster?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering XSplit Broadcaster:

Avoid XSplit. There is absolutely no reason to be using it versus OBS. OBS has a cleaner UI, no ads, no features locked, and because it's open source you can be assured that the entire world is working on updates and security improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is XSplit Broadcaster solving and how is that benefiting you?

None, switched back to OBS for all streaming needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A waste of time and money"

0/5

What do you like best about XSplit Broadcaster?

This product is a wasted effort. The product does not work at all and there is no support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about XSplit Broadcaster?

Not getting what you paid for can be a real bad vibe Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The most complete software for broadcast"

4/5

What do you like best about XSplit Broadcaster?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about XSplit Broadcaster?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering XSplit Broadcaster:

Of course, whenever you need to make a broadcast of any content with a minimum of quality, I recommend XSplit Broadcaster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is XSplit Broadcaster solving and how is that benefiting you?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"XSplit is an all-in-one solution "

4.5/5

What do you like best about XSplit Broadcaster?

What do you dislike about XSplit Broadcaster?

Nothing, it did everything with simplicity and ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
