Gamecaster is a popular app to help simplify streaming. It has a ton of functionality, including optimization for single-screen streaming, tons of choices for backgrounds and themes, and a lot more.

Below we will give detailed instructions on how to altogether remove XSplit Gamecaster from your PC with a few different methods. Keep in mind that Gamecaster is only available on Microsoft Windows 10.
