Installed without any problems, but on opening although there were a number of options under broadcasting the only capture options were for image files.

As I only installed it because of its advertised video capture capabilities I uninstalled it.

It appears that it examines your system and that decides the options presented, you therefore may find it more useful.

A simpple desktop streamer without any of the options I would need for broadcasting. I might have missed the option but I can not choose what I want to stream... it is either my desktop or nothing. And although the help files might provide the answer (didn't read them, don't even know if there) I could not see how to find out my streaming url.

Now if you want to do some serious streaming, especially those that want to stream games and high quality content in HD, you should head over to OBS https://obsproject.com/ for a fully 100% freeware very versatile broadcaster/recorder that will fit ALL your needs regardless what you need a broadcast software for. You want to broadcast or record your games...with or without overlays....with or without live commentary..... on twitch or any other broadcast channel you like..... you can with OBS

I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but the Review found here at CNET seems to me as not indicating any ability or capacity to actually "record" anything. Please let us know, anyone, if I am mistaken:

(P. S. This review is of a slightly "earlier" version.)

@Blowfish: You´re right! You can NOT record anything only stream from your PC.

Ah I see why I uninstalled the previous version, this is limited to discrete sound input devices so when capturing a desktop area to stream it is unable to capture the desktop apps sound output if the installation does not have a soundmixer or speakers discrete input pin. This is an old problem that began in 2007 with windows vista and manufacturers removing or usuing chipsets that had no wav out or soundmixer input pins... The solution is to look at Audacity sources and use WASAPI to capture both inputs and outputs. This shall be uninstalled again, maybe the next update offered will catch up with 2007+ hardware requirements...
