Starting a Twitch channel, a video podcast or online classes? XSplit Broadcaster handles live streaming, recording and presenting in one workspace built around scenes. Its Layout Wizard provides a starting point, while the workspace keeps scenes, sources, preview, audio, and output controls together.
How does Broadcaster organize a live show?
Scenes give a broadcast separate arrangements for different moments or content. A gaming setup might pair gameplay with a camera, while another scene can bring in chat, alerts, clips, or graphics. For an interview, scenes can combine cameras, call sources, screens, and branded layouts.
The central workspace keeps the scene list and its sources alongside the preview, audio controls, and output area. Build a starting layout with the Layout Wizard, then add or arrange content as the production changes. Switching among scenes lets a presenter move between camera, screen, clips, and slides during a tutorial or presentation.
What can a scene include?
Broadcaster supports a mix of visual and audio material, including cameras, screen content, video clips, graphics, and audio sources. Overlays can sit within a scene alongside the main image, giving a stream or recording room for on-screen elements such as alerts or channel graphics.
A video podcast can pair cameras with call sources, and a class can switch between the presenter, the screen and slides.
What happens to recordings after a session?
Record in Broadcaster, then open the resulting recording in XSplit Media Manager for editing. Media Manager carries over cue points from Broadcaster, so marked moments remain available while trimming the recording. It can cut sections, export a finished video, or publish it to services including YouTube, Facebook, and Discord.
Media Manager also supports managing multiple YouTube accounts.
