Who goes live with Podsplice

Turn the thing you already know into a show people can join.

A live stream works best when it has a purpose. Pick the format that helps your audience learn, decide, ask, or participate.

Conversations that feel present

Bring a remote guest on screen and make the interview a live event.

Create a private guest link, place both speakers in a split scene, and turn audience questions into part of the conversation.

An easier OBS alternative

Build the whole show without building a broadcast engineering stack.

If OBS feels like more setup than your show needs, Podsplice puts the scene list, program preview, device controls, guest workflow, and YouTube destination into one focused browser workspace. Try the scene buttons in the mockup.
