XSplitReviews 

We have been using XSplit Broadcaster for almost a year now and it has been great. We are a small church that live streams out to youtube. We have the occasional hiccup with authenticating to youtube, but usually it is a youtube problem.

We are running a 480p stream and cpu/gpu usage is very low. We also do a local recording as a backup and that has been working flawlessly.

Overall, it has been a very pleasant experience with XSplit.

My experience with xsplit has been far better than obs to say the least but that's what you pay for quality. Thanks for helping me start on my journey appreciate xsplit very much.

I love having a program I can broadcast to Facebook. However I can not respond to comments, because I haven't paid for the pro. I am on limited income and can not afford it. Sometimes, I encounter issues with Xsplit in certain games I play and have to close my games through alt ctrl del. Over all I give it 4 stars Because Xsplit hasn't been banned from FB like Geforce Experience has.

i have been using xsplit for some time. it had a few bugs at first but they were fixed right away. i tried the other streaming software. dang you need a engineers diploma to just start. xsplit is simple but very well made. and always getting more addons to make streaming fun.

Honestly love xsplit, super simple and easy to use but the paid version is pricey. Free version is good for beginners if you don’t mind a watermark when streaming above 720p. Only problem is it’s very hardware intensive. I have a decent pc And xsplit hogs up all my gpu but overall super simple great application

I have been using computers since 1982. I taught Desktop Publishing at a university, was a Mac consultant, and later was a professional SEO guy for years. Now I use XSplit in producing a popular interview show. I have never, in all these decades, encountered a technology company with tech support as excellent as that provided by XSplit. It seems they are always available. They respond immediately and stick with you until the problem is solved. And the problem is usually my fault, not XSplit’s.

Several years ago, I thought it would be fun to do my current favorite hobby on youtube and so I began making videos and uploading them to youtube. Well each one was at least hour and a half long. I did not have the best connection to the internet so it took several hours just to upload. I had heard about others who were live streaming their stuff to youtube. I thought about trying that but I had no clue of where to even begin to do a live stream.. I tried a couple of applications that claimed to be easy to use, but they were not easy for me and I gave up trying to do that. One day I was playing around on the internet and I saw an avert from a company which claimed to offer an application that would have me streaming my videos in just a few mins. I thought to myself, yeah sure, but they had that one word in the advert which I could not resist.,. FREEEE. This was a long time ago. So, I downloaded the product and sat down, prepared to spend a few hours trying to do this again. This application had me answer a few questions and in just a few minutes I was online. This application of Xsplit and I think at the time they were just starting out.. I have been using xsplit for many years now and it keeps getting better and better as the xsplit devs keep making improvements to it. When they began selling licenses for it, I bought a lifetime license and it and I am so glad that I did. I am not the best one to make this review, since I only use xsplit to stream my videos up to youtube. I am sure it is capable of doing much more than I ask it to do.

I use Xsplit broadcast for my LIVE streams. Great broadcast software, but not perfect. Some add on YouTube apps don't work when you go live i.e. The YouTube Superchat app.

Top rate broadcasting software. Updated frequently, controls are intuitive and did not take long to understand. Help is always available, which is also a huge bonus. Is it perfect? No, of course not--it still has some improvements to make, but i feel strongly that I made the right choice to go with xsplit for my stream

tldr: good interface with bad compatibility. Use OBS instead.

Xsplit broadcaster is an absolute joke. While I was drawn to it originally by its intuitive user interface, the technical issues began to trickle out once I had dug into the program and began using it full-time. Xsplit struggles to keep a consistent 60 frames per second with most games that have come out within the last several years. Mind you, my PC is running a GTX 980 with an 8th gen i7 and 32 gigs of RAM. It seems like I get better performance when I unfocus a window and then just watch xsplit do its thing while I'm not even playing the game. Once I refocus the window and begin to resume gameplay, I dropped down to an embarrassing 24 or lower frames per second in most cases with some higher demanding games. I have two years left on my subscription time and I don't plan to ever use it ever again. I have since returned to using obs since it seems to have far more stability with running games the way I need it too. I only stopped using OBS because I thought it's interface was bad, but it seems like that issue has resided since many updates have shown improvements vastly to obs.

Easy to use and nice to have a free option that lets you try it for as long as you want. I would move to the pay option though if I could figure out how to get things right with this one game I am playing but see no instructions easily found to get this done from the game or from the XSplit software.

I have been using XSplit Broadcaster to produce weekly live streams for over two years, The flexibility, vast amount of features and customer service make this the platform of choice! It gives you the ability to produce TV like productions with ease on MCPLive.TV

Once you work out the fiddly bits and such and excellent product. Enhanced by a very good support team who are always willing and helpful in assisting.

Moved from OBS Studio to XSplit

I was originally an OBS user but when it started having major problems suddenly with frame drops where it used to run beautifully I tried X-Split out and it ran perfectly - bought a lifetime license and have been using it ever since. I have needed to use their support a couple of times for advice and to report an issue which was quickly fixed and have been very impressed with that too.

In addition to my gaming stream I also do a stream that involves a larger number of webcams and where OBS used to have a lot of problems getting going again, X-Split just seems to "just work" which is a breath of fresh air.

Only downside is that I needed to switch to NVENC encoding for my gaming streams because the CPU usage for H.264 is significantly higher than OBS had and was causing frame drops and performance issues. However, this does not seem to have caused any noticeable drop in stream quality and my viewers are certainly very happy with the output. Using NVENC cpu and gpu usage are very reasonably on my ageing i7-4790 CPU streaming machine.

Overall super impressed with X-Split and delighted to continue being a user and recommending it to all.

I give Xsplit 5 stars, but I wanted to give it 4.5 there just wasnt an option. The thing is, while it is an amazing program, and it saved me when OBS studio completely stopped working on my PC, my main issue is that we pay for this program and should have little to NO issues running it. I have had a lot of issues mostly which I have just learned to deal with tried to seek out help but wasn't able to fix them. So theres a pretty bad lag between my stream deck and xsplit, same for the el gato capture card. It uses a LOT of CPU and GPU compared to other softwares. There is also a glitch that I have had for over 1 year now where if I put transitions on any of the sources in my scenes it cuts off the SCENE transition. Everytime I restart the program it turns off my stinger transition as well.

Dont get me wrong. The program is 100% worth the money I just feel like these are easily fixable issues that should not be there if we're paying for this program. The main reason I have yet to apply for partnership with them is because OBS is free and uses way less CPU GPU and if I get it working again I won't use Xsplit until I can upgrade my computer.

I originally used XSplit for dual streaming but had tried some competitors as well. I use the free version and am planning on getting the full version. The reason I returned was because it has less drops of frames than I experienced with one of the streaming platforms. The other worked well until my video card had updates. I tried to get help with the other but no one could get it to work like it had. Not updating my driver caused other issues and had no choice to accept the update. XSplit has the same customizable features as the others and they continue to improve.

XSplit has continued to be a solid application for all my broadcast needs! Love their constant innovation by adding new features all the time!

I honestly find it easier to use than other streaming apps just because it's very versatile. I'm not a professional by any stretch of the imagination but app is great to use.

Poor product that does not live up to the promise. Customer support is non existent. Save your money!

I cancelled my "Premium Membership" several months ago, but have recently discovered that they have continued to charge me. My "Membership Status" when I log-in to xsplit.com says "Free Membership", and yet I am being charged for Premium. I log-in to my PayPal, and I find that they have not cancelled payments. I speak with customer services, and they tell me that I have to 1). go in to my Account and manually click "cancel automatic renewal" - an option which is NOT THERE - and 2). I have to cancel the pre-payment on PayPal, as well. So, I have to go through not one, not two, but *THREE PROCESSES* TO CANCEL PAYMENTS!!! Cancel my Premium Membership, then cancel the "automatic renewal", then cancel the "pre-approved payments" on PayPal. Absolutely f-ing ridiculous! I am quite angry, and I want my money back!!!
