Getting Started with XSplit
In addition to this guide, you can find more information available on the XSplit Beginner's Guide on YouTube.
Step 1) Adding Sources
For PC games, you have two choices on how to capture your gameplay: either by capturing the screen region, or by achieving a direct feed via game source (only available in XSplit Personal and Premium).
Screen Region Method
Go to Add > Add Screen Region.
Select the region of your desktop you would like XSplit to capture by left clicking somewhere in the game window. You can also click the desktop or task bar to select the entire monitor.
The selected area appears in your XSplit window for further editing.
Game Source Method (Requires XSplit Personal or Premium)
Games that utilize the DirectX or OpenGL platform can be enabled for direct capture, or Game Source. This sometimes results in better performance when compared to the screen region method and supports games in fullscreen mode.
Go to Add > Add Game and select the .exe of the game you would like to capture.
The selected game appears in your XSplit window for further editing.
Capture Device (Xbox, PlayStation 3, Webcam, etc)
Go to Add > Add Camera.
Select either the capture device or webcam you would like to use.
The selected device appears in your XSplit window for further editing.
Step 2) Understanding XSplit Audio
XSplit accepts two audio sources simultaneously.
Windows 7 default playback device (desktop audio) essentially what comes out of the default speaker
The currently selected microphone in the XSplit user settings under Tools > General Settings > General Tab > Audio
Volume Control
Each audio source has its own volume that you can manually adjust - right-click the source and use the properties provided
Sources that tend to have audio settings include webcams, capture cards, video files, etc
Using the Windows Audio Mixer, typically located at the bottom-right hand corner of your Windows taskbar, you can adjust the volumes of these devices individually
Note: All audio sources added in XSplit rely on your Windows 7 Default Device for audio to your stream. In other words, if you can hear it over your speakers, your audience will too.
Step 3) Selecting Quality Options and Broadcasting
Basic Broadcast Settings
Go to Broadcast and click the right side gear symbol for your Twitch channel.
Click the Wizard button in the lower left corner and follow the two steps. When it is done probing your internet speed and computer hardware, click Finish to use the recommended settings.
Optional: View > Scale Viewport > 50.
Feel free to adjust the wizard settings based upon your own personal preferences and experience broadcasting to Twitch. You can also seek out tips in the XSplit community forum.
