We apologize for the delay in launching #XSplitV2 but we’re happy to announce that it’s finally now available to all!  You can now download it by going to www.xsplit.com/download.

It’s been a long time coming but today we want to share with you XSplit V2, our biggest update yet. For the past several months we have been working hard with the community to introduce a range of new features and optimizations, aimed at creating an even easier and more intuitive live streaming and recording experience. We can’t wait to share with you what we’ve been working on these past twelve months, so without further ado, allow me to personally introduce you to XSplit V2.

Brand new features for all XSplit Licenses

For us, XSplit has always been about creating the simplest, easiest and friendliest live streaming and recording application around. With XSplit V2, we hope to extend that promise to our licensing options by introducing a range of new features and improvements to our Free, Personal & Premium users.

For XSplit V2, we wanted to ensure that everyone benefited from this update whether you’re a Free, Personal or Premium user. For Free users, we wanted to make both live streaming and recording as accessible as possible, which is why we have lifted some of our old restrictions allowing people to now broadcast in HD without obtrusive watermarks and as many limitations. For Personal and Premium users, we wanted you to try out first hand some of the cool new features we’ve been busy working on.

Here’s a quick look on some of the new features of XSplit V2

When we asked you how we could improve your XSplit experience, we received a ton of useful feedback, including suggestions for new features, proposed fixes and improvements. Thanks to our community focus group, VIPs and development team, we’ve worked hard to provide users with a simpler, more robust, and (most importantly) more streamlined experience across both our applications.

We encourage everyone to visit both our revamped XSplit Broadcaster and XSplit Gamecaster product pages to take a look at the range of new features.

Here’s to the future

Since launching our public beta back in 2010, XSplit has become a fixture in the live streaming community by striving to provide a premium quality experience for broadcasters and content creators alike.

Since those early days, we have had the distinct pleasure of being able to watch both our users and partners flourish, thanks to ever improving internet infrastructures around the globe and platforms such as Twitch making it easier than ever to share your content.

During this time, we’ve been busy. We launched XSplit Gamecaster back in February of this year and our dedicated team has been working behind the scenes to create cool and innovative features you won’t find anywhere else

As we approach the end of 2014 and enter the new year, XSplit V2 signifies the start of something special. For us, XSplit V2 is the start of a new direction. A direction that focuses on maintaining ties and encouraging innovation from our community, while continuing to introduce remarkable new features across all of our applications.

These new features, improvements and bug fixes are your contributions. It is you who helped us improve our products through your feedback on our website, social media and forum. We’re very thankful for all your support and we hope to return the favor with XSplit V2.

Happy Broadcasting

Update: Oct 14 2013, 10.46 pm UTC+8

We’ve received data from helpful users showing screenshots of a compromised user. While there’s XSplit data in the picture, that data does not come from our cloud systems, but are from a local file found on the users hard drive. We believe the hacker got access through yet undetermined means, and from there started collected account info throughout the computer. There’s no evidence that XSplit was used to gain access to the computer, everything points to a previous breach which could have been done through any type of malware.

Oct 10 2013, 6.45 pm UTC+8

We have learned of rumours that our database has been compromised, and that account information has been leaked.

We are looking into the user reports to verify whether there has been a breach – at this point in time there’s no evidence for it. We’ve reached out to the users who contacted us directly to get details, but so far they haven’t responded. We take the matter very seriously though.

Please contact us if you suspect your account has been compromised or if you have any additional information: www.xsplit.com/support (use website feedback)

At this point in time, there’s no reason to change your email or password, but if you feel safer, here’s how to:

Change password
Change email address

We are actively working around the clock to investigate the claims made, and we will continue to update about the situation here on this blog post.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
