What it is
XSplit Broadcaster is a Windows application for creating and controlling scenes for live streams, recordings, podcasts, presentations, and virtual-camera workflows. It supports output up to 4K, stream scheduling, multiple audio tracks, cue points, and recording different scenes at the same time. Users can send streams through platform plugins or Custom RTMP, while simultaneous broadcasting to multiple services requires Premium. The free plan allows streaming up to 720p without a watermark and supports up to four scenes; streams above 720p carry a watermark. Broadcaster can remove, replace, or blur webcam backgrounds without a green screen, and supports NVIDIA NVENC encoding, including AV1. Team, Zoom, and NDI are listed for bringing remote guests into productions. The free plan is available, and paid plans start at $14.99 per month. It is an installed application, not a browser-based studio. Minimum requirements listed are Windows 10 64-bit, 8 GB RAM, and 250 MB of available storage.
