In contrast to Steam Broadcast, the 2019 released service Steam Remote Play streams not only the screen from the host to the viewers but also button inputs from the viewers to the host, as it is designed for any local coop game to work over the internet. This is probably the easiest and best way for anyone to play Jackbox Games over the internet. As they are so relatively limited in terms of viewer count, it allows the stream to have way less latency. These are still limited to few people (compared to Youtube and Twitch) but enough for any Jackbox Games round.
Apparently there are ultra-low-latency modes in Youtube and Twitch (look up this link) and they are "fine" but it's still meant for streaming for a big crowd, so it's still not the best way do play Jackbox Games.ĭiscord supports screen sharing in private calls and in voice chats on servers. While Twitch and Youtube (and Steam Broadcast) still focus on massive amount of viewers (obviously), latency still takes a hit with that services. Prices start at US$4.17 (about £3/AU$5) per month for a 36-month license, through to US$199 (about £150/AU$250) for a lifetime license.Just for 2021 and onwards a new view on this topic: You'll also have to open your wallet if you want chromakeying (green screen), in-game Twitch chat, console support via a capture card and custom logos. The biggest drawback is that streams at 720p or higher will carry an Xsplit watermark – not ideal if you want your stream to look professional.
It supports streaming to Twitch, Mixer, YouTube and Facebook, and is incredibly easy to use – just start your game and hit a keyboard shortcut to bring up the overlay and begin streaming.
Gamecaster is a game-specific version of Xsplit Broadcaster, with a more streamlined interface. As such, it looks sleeker and benefits from premium support online, but several features are locked behind a paywall. Unlike most of the free streaming software in this roundup, Xsplit Gamecaster is a free, cut-down version of a premium application.
