There are millions of streamers going live each month. No wonder capturing new viewers' attention yet alone keeping them invested in your content can become a difficult task to say the least. Keeping your content interesting is a must as well as a fair bit of luck. While Pulsoid can't quite conjure the gods of algorithms to constantly feature your content on the front page, it can help you maximise your chances by providing a tool that will amplify your streams' expressiveness, making your overlay stand out, and creating deeper emotional connections with your viewers.
Use Pulsoid to its fullest potential with Pulsoid BRO plan
Add a heart rate widget to your streams and videos on Twitch, YouTube, Facebook Live, TikTok, Kick, Trovo or any other video platform you use. Pulsoid widgets are compatible with OBS Studio, Streamlabs OBS, XSplit, Wirecast, and all the other video capturing applications that support browser sources. The whole process of setting up a widget shouldn't take more than 10 minutes and is free.
What do I need to start?
A heart Rate Monitor (Bluetooth, chest strap). Read How to choose the best heart rate monitor for streaming
A pulsoid.net account. Create an account
Choose a heart rate monitor for your streams:
Generally, you'll need to search for a device that supports BLE and heart rate streaming to other devices. You can find our comprehensive list of supported devices here.
If you are looking for something that will serve you for a long time while being reliable, comfortable, and accurate than Polar H10 is a great choice for you. It's a bit on the pacier side but we are sure it won't disappoint you.
If you want to try heart rate streaming out without investing too much into equipment than CooSpo devices may be what you're looking for. CooSpo H808S or H6 will provide a reliable experience at ~$30. This is a good choice for beginners.
Wahoo TICKR is another popular option at ~$50.
Pulsoid is also compatible with some armbands like Polar OH1 and Scosche Rhythm+.
If you have an Apple Watch, Wear OS device (Samsung Watch 4, 5, 6, Pixel watch, Mobvoi TicWatch, Fossil, etc.), or some of compatible Fitbit devices you can use them with Pulsoid as well. However, we recommend you get a dedicated heart rate monitor for better, more accurate results. This is a great way to try out streaming your heart rate with a tool you may already have.
