Pulsoid Windows App: Show Your Heart Rate on Stream Without a Phone

Want to show your heart rate on stream without using your phone? Now you can.

With the Pulsoid Desktop app for Windows, you can send your heart rate directly to your PC and use it in your stream. No phone needed.

Perfect for streamers who want a simpler, PC-only setup.

Your PC must support Bluetooth, or you’ll need a Bluetooth adapter.

Note: On desktop PCs, the Bluetooth signal can be weak due to adapter placement (for example, at the back of the case or inside a metal chassis). This may cause connection issues. If that happens, using the Pulsoid mobile app may give you a more stable connection.
