Using this you can capture video and broadcast it on different platforms completely live such as Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch. Likewise, <strong>It is available for MacOS, Linux, Windows operating systems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OBS is an ideal software to customize your broadcast using its integrated functions with different plugins. Now, among its main features we can highlight:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Can <strong>Share and broadcast your content easily<\/strong> on the HD screen.<\/li><li>Capture thousands of hours of audio and video for further editing.<\/li><li>Stream your videos <strong>completely live on platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Twitch,<\/strong> and many more.<\/li><li>OBS owns the<strong> Multi-channel, single-channel, multilingual, and surround sound audio options<\/strong>.<\/li><li>You have the option of <strong>create as many scenes as you want<\/strong>, along with the transitions between them.<\/li><li>It is a <strong>open source app<\/strong>, therefore, you can use new plugins to add functionality and features.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Differences between Xsplit and OBS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know what the basic features of Xsplit and OBS are, it&#039;s time to point out the <strong>Main differences between both softwares<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Interface<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Xsplit has a more elegant interface<\/strong>, through which you can easily access its essential functions on the dashboard and on a single screen. For its part,<strong>, OBS requires more than one monitor to be able to track<\/strong> of everything that happens during the broadcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, <strong>The OBS interface is overwhelming if you are a beginner streamer<\/strong>, because there are options in the menu such as sources, audio mixer, scenes, controls, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Characteristics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point it should be noted that <strong>Both apps have features to edit videos<\/strong>However, Xsplit is very easy to use. But, OBS has completely free features that you have to pay for in other software if you want to get more out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Video recording<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both apps give you the opportunity to record video and stream it live. Regarding local recording, <strong>Xsplit has x264 and x265 video codecs<\/strong>, this makes it ideal for YouTube uploads. It also has the option to optimize audio and video. However,<strong> OBS has many more features for file formats<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Performance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want a <strong>streaming software that uses a small portion of your computer&#039;s space<\/strong>, particularly if you are streaming your games on a single PC, you should try OBS as it tends to use two percent less resources than Xsplit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Platforms<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both OBS and Xsplit stream to major live platforms, but connecting the platforms requires fewer steps or difficulty with Xsplit. With the software<strong> NOTE<\/strong> <strong>You have to get a key from the channel on which you want to show your content<\/strong>, be it Facebook, YouTube, or any other platform. After that, you need to enter the stream key in OBS so you can connect to the channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For its part, <strong>Xsplit gives you the option to connect your accounts by just entering the credentials <\/strong>and authorizing the app by giving it access. Similarly, you can stream to more than one location at a time using Xsplit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ease of use<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the <strong>Users find Xsplit easier to use than OBS<\/strong>, particularly when they are starting their career as streamers. For its part, OBS allows users to customize their stream by adding the plugins they want and adjusting their settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Add-ons<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Xsplit and OBS give you the opportunity to customize them by adding plugins, which are responsible for expanding their basic functionalities and providing more tools for audio mixing, editing, among other effects. However, as <strong>OBS is open source, anyone can create plugins<\/strong> and you will find many more available. Now, Xsplit has high-quality plugins that will allow you to have a better streaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Which is better for streaming OBS or Xsplit?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After doing an analysis between OBS and Xsplit, actually <strong>There is no winner or best app<\/strong> to use if you want <a class=\"keychainify-checked\" href=\"https:\/\/auribluz.com\/en\/what-you-need-to-stream\/\"><strong>be a streamer<\/strong><\/a>.
