Our Story

XSplit was founded in 2009 with the vision of making visual communication simple. We set out to build an easy-to-use tool that would help people to create TV-like broadcasts for the internet from their laptop or desktop. This would eventually become XSplit Broadcaster, a live streaming and recording application that is now being used by millions of people around the world to create video content for platforms such as YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, and more. In fact, it was one of the catalysts that helped create the multi billion dollar video game live streaming industry.

By 2016, XSplit had expanded its suite of products to include Gamecaster, a more streamlined app for gaming content creators (which has since been spun off to form its own company) and it expanded its product portfolio with the acquisitions of Player.me, Strexm, and Challonge (since sold to Logitech). These newly acquired technologies and their creators would help bolster XSplit’s continual growth as it expanded into machine learning capabilities and mobile applications with the launch of XSplit VCam and XSplit Connect: Webcam.

In 2020, with the need to shift to work from home because of COVID-19, XSplit saw a huge surge in demand for it’s tools for video based communication. Since then we have started to integrate our existing technology, developed over 10 years, into new products that will make all forms of real time and asynchronous video based communication better and more efficient.

XSplit now counts many thousands of global organizations as customers ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies. We also support non-profit organizations through our education and non-profit initiative that has to date provide over $100,000 worth of XSplit software to qualifying applicants.

Our ultimate goal is to help people and businesses share their ideas, stories, knowledge, or content with the world through video.
