TL;DR: A lifetime subscription to XSplit VCam Premium is on sale for £21.31 as of Oct. 21, saving you 51% on list price.


Spending more time working and playing at home likely means more projects, messes, and clutter accumulation. And there’s nothing wrong with that — except you probably don’t want to showcase your unkempt home office on a video call for work or a live stream to your followers. No need to haphazardly scramble to clean up every time. Just remove, replace, or blur your background with XSplit VCam.

We’ve showcased this game-changing tool before, but this updated version comes with even more features — and for a limited time, a lifetime subscription is 51% off.

In a nutshell, XSplit VCam offers a green screen alternative that requires no actual screen, complex lighting setup, or space. It’s just an app that works with both streaming software (XSplit Gamecaster, OBS Studio, Streamlabs OBS, vMix, etc.) and video chat software (Zoom, Skype, Google Hangouts, etc.) to disguise your background in a few clicks. It’s perfect for vlogs, live streams, video meetings, online learning, virtual interviews, and more.

With the adjustable blur slider, you can give your webcam a fancy DSLR or Portrait Mode effect. You’ll remain in focus, while your background becomes unrecognisable. The replacement features lets you remove your current backdrop of piles of paper and children’s toys and swap it for an image, video, or webpage of your choosing. 

New features include image and video background configuration, calibration and automatic settings, support for Webex and Windows store applications, and two times improved background removal AI. The adaptive filters make your replaced background look even more real as you can move about freely with more effective AI. There’s even an app extension called XSplit Connect: Webcam that allows you to use your mobile device as a webcam for free.

A 51% discount brings the cost of a lifetime subscription to XSplit VCam to only £21.31.
