Unlocking New Possibilities with XSplit Broadcaster Multi Output Beta Release

Streaming has evolved beyond a single format or platform. Game streamers and podcasters often want to reach audiences on multiple platforms simultaneously, each with its own preferred video orientation and style. The new multi output beta feature in XSplit Broadcaster answers this need by allowing creators to stream in different formats at the same time. This update opens fresh opportunities to engage viewers on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Twitch with tailored content.

What Is Multi Output Mode in XSplit Broadcaster?

Multi output mode lets you broadcast multiple streams from a single source, each with its own resolution, aspect ratio, and platform destination. For example, you can stream a horizontal 16:9 layout to YouTube while simultaneously sending a vertical 9:16 stream to TikTok. This flexibility means you no longer need separate setups or software to cater to different audience preferences.

This feature is currently in beta, allowing users to test and provide feedback while enjoying the benefits of multi format streaming. It supports a wide range of platforms, including Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok, making it a versatile tool for content creators.

How Multi Output Enhances Streaming on Twitch

Twitch has recently embraced multi format streaming, encouraging streamers to offer both horizontal and vertical streams. XSplit Broadcaster’s multi output beta integrates seamlessly with Twitch’s dual format streaming, enabling you to:

• Stream a traditional horizontal layout for desktop viewers

• Simultaneously broadcast a vertical stream optimized for mobile viewers

  
  

This approach increases engagement by reaching viewers on their preferred devices and viewing styles. Twitch viewers on mobile devices can enjoy a full-screen vertical experience, while desktop viewers get the classic widescreen layout.

Practical Examples for Game Streamers and Podcasters

Game Streamers

Imagine you are streaming a fast-paced game like Valorant or Fortnite. Your main stream on YouTube or Twitch can show the full game in 16:9, capturing all the action and details. Meanwhile, your TikTok audience receives a vertical stream formatted to fit perfectly on the mobile canvas.

This setup allows you to:

• Maximize content reach without extra hardware

• Tailor content to platform-specific viewer habits

• Create perfect layout for both horizontal and vertical viewing

  
  

Podcasters

Podcasters can use multi output mode to broadcast a horizontal stream to Twitch or YouTube, showing the full panel or guest lineup. At the same time, a vertical stream can go to TikTok focusing on a single speaker.

This method helps podcasters:

• Engage audiences on multiple platforms simultaneously

• Repurpose content efficiently for social media

• Increase discoverability with vertical video formats

1. Switch to Multi Output Mode
