You will have to confirm your email.

Set up the streaming client

Start your XSplit and log in with your credentials. The free version can stream in 720p as the highest, which is fine as you start out.

When you are logged in, in the menu select the following:

Broadcast -> Add Channel -> Twitch

This will open up the Twitch connection wizard

Magically simple.

Click the button "Authorize".

This will open up a page where you sign in with your twich account that you created earlier. After you have logged in, XSplit will measure your connection speeds and set things up accordingly. The defaults that XSplit sets works fine.
