SplitCam for Mac

Real-time Video Production Using Splitcam

Splitcam is a flexible multimedia tool for macOS that simplifies live recording and streaming. It captures input from multiple sources — such as webcams, screen captures, and connected external hardware — and packages them into a single broadcast. The application is built to support live presentation workflows and casual streaming alike, giving creators an easy path to produce polished video content.

Enhancing Your Broadcasts with Layers and Scenes

Splitcam supports layered content so you can enrich your stream with additional visual and textual elements. Create and switch between customized setups to fit different content types, from gameplay to slide-driven talks.

• Text overlays (titles, captions, alerts) for added context and accessibility
• Embedded video clips for transitions, intros, or recorded segments
• Static or transparent images such as logos and lower-thirds for branding

You can assemble multiple scenes in advance and toggle between them during a session to suit different segments of your show.
