Testimonials

We wouldn't be anything without our users. Some users have been with us from the start and continue to use, because of its reliability and ease of use. Here are a few quotes from some well known streaming personalities or organizations using the XSplit Broadcaster software.

“It's really the reliability and consistency. Its the fact that I can open up XSplit and say go live and now I'm live, and all of the scenes that I set up last week are still there, and I know that everything is in good condition.”

– Sean Plott, Day 9 TV

“Honestly we could build a system that can do all of these different things and have multiple processes running, and things to update, but it's nice because with XSplit it's all in one. We don't have to worry about system resources or if its updated. The kinds of problems that come with multiple pieces of software or hardware.”

– TC Conway, Animal Planet Live
