Elgato Gaming adds Xsplit support to its Stream Deck command center

Elgato Gaming has updated one of the most interesting and useful new tools in the world of livestreaming. Its Stream Deck USB command center, which enables broadcasters to control Twitch and other live content using 15 LCD buttons, now supports the XSplit Broadcaster software. SplitmediaLabs’ XSplit is a popular piece of video-production software that can composite videos and feed them into livestreaming sites. This matters because it makes it easier for one person to run a professional-looking broadcast, and that could begin to shift what people expect when they go to a site like Twitch for videos.

“Iterating based on community feedback is a big part of our process at Elgato, and XSplit integration has been one of the most popular requests for Stream Deck,” Elgato Gaming general manager Julian Fest said. “This software update brings the effortless Stream Deck experience to XSplit, making switching scenes, launching media, and interacting with the audience easier than ever.”
