SplitCam review

SplitCam is a free desktop broadcaster that leans on multistreaming and a virtual camera. Its site says it is free forever with no watermark and no signup, and that the free download is the full app with no premium tiers or feature locks. Scenes combine webcam, screen, game capture, browser, NDI, IP cameras, video files and PDF slides, with Fade, Stinger and Luma Wipe transitions. Multistreaming goes directly from your computer to Twitch, YouTube, Kick and 84+ other platforms with a separate bitrate for each, rather than through a cloud relay. Streamer extras include a Tip Notifier, live drawing, real-time blur and a hotkey replay of the last 10 seconds, and the audio mixer accepts VST 2 and VST 3 plugins. On Windows you can import OBS Studio scene collections. The catch with direct multistreaming is upload bandwidth, since each platform gets its own upload, and the community is smaller than the OBS or Streamlabs ecosystems.
