"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.

"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.

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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

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