Kazam als Linux-Alternative zu XSplit Broadcaster
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Kazam is not a good replacement for XSplit Broadcaster for users who rely on scene composition, overlays, or live streaming. It’s suitable only for basic screen and audio recording with minimal setup. If you need to record tutorials or desktop activity without multiple sources or real-time mixing, Kazam works fine. However, streamers or content creators needing webcam integration, scene switching, or alerts will find it severely lacking. For those tasks, consider OBS Studio instead. Kazam’s simplicity is its strength for lightweight use, but it doesn’t support the full live production workflow XSplit offers.

Ihre XSplit Broadcaster-Dateien öffnen
Kazam does not use project files like XSplit Broadcaster, so there's no way to import XSplit scenes or configurations. Recordings are saved directly as video files (typically WebM or MP4), which can be played or edited in other software. Since Kazam doesn’t support complex scene setups, any layered compositions from XSplit must be recreated manually in a different tool, if at all possible. File compatibility is limited to the final output format, not the project structure.

- Launch Kazam and configure audio input sources under Preferences
- Select the screen area, add microphone and system audio, then set the timer
