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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you're an extremely casual gaming streamer, and don't mind the cost to get some of the bells and whistles: XSplit Gamecaster is the way to go.

If you're an extremely casual streamer that does mind any extra fees, but you still require a simple setup: Xsplit Broadcaster is the way to go.

If you're at all above casual in terms of streaming, I would recommend OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) over XSplit.

XSplit may have some features that make up for a potential lack of hardware (such as a feature that attempts to replicate the effects of a green screen without actually needing a green screen, if that's something you need), but there is no way around its lack of customization if you are someone who eventually grows better acquainted with your streaming settings. OBS is completely free, with no tiered options, and is built upon community support. There is no money or agenda backing it, so it is difficult to top once you dedicate yourself to learning how it works, or have gained experience through other software (like XSplit).

Working in the gaming industry means that having an understanding of various streaming options is crucial. XSplit has been beneficial for clients that need to share their experiences with their audience - especially for those that are unfamiliar with streaming or screen-sharing software. The Gamecaster version in particular grants a guided leap into streaming gaming content for the first time (including the necessary integration with Twitch, Hitbox, or other streaming websites). It has helped my work (and me) to peek into the sort of content gamers, developers, publishers, and everyone inbetween, enjoy. Not only this, but on new computers (or when assisting others with a short-term setup), XSplit has been a decent enough go-to for when we need to share new content with fans.
