XSplit VCam

More often than not, blurring the background from a video or stream can be achieved with a green screen. Not only does it take a lot of time and effort to setup and configure, but at times, it can also be quite difficult to move.

XSplit VCam is a tool that provides a lightweight alternative to the classic green screen option. You can now replace or hide your background effortlessly with any webcam on various streaming platforms, including Skype, Streamlabs OBS, Twitch, Slack, Discord or XSplit Broadcaster.

Following a swift and uneventful installation, you need to create an account or use of the major social networks to connect. In case you are already using other tools from SplitmediaLabs, Ltd., then the good news is that you can use that account. You should bear in mind that the app takes a few seconds to analyze your hardware and detect the webcam on first launch.

The interface is a small, but neat window where you can select the camera you are currently using for the stream, the desired filter and the value for the background blur. You can preview the modifications you make in the dedicated section just bellow this.

It is worth mentioning that besides the blurring, the tool allows you to replace the background with any image, the supported formats in this case being PNG, JPEG and GIF. At the same time, you can add a webpage that may be relevant to your topic. All of these options can also be blurred so that it does not distract the viewers from your message.

The program can also prove valuable for business and conferencing, as you no longer need to worry about finding the right spot to have a video call with a potential lead or partners. You can use it for presentations, sales, remote work conferencing, interviews and even for teaching purposes.

Regardless of whether you are professional gamer who streams regularly, a YouTube streamer or perhaps are creating a podcast or talk show for your regular audience, XSplit Vcam can help you make more immersive and professional videos.
