[NEW PLUGIN] PulseLive: Zero-Latency Broadcasting Engine 🎥

Hey Bubblers! :waving_hand:

If you are trying to build the next Twitch, TikTok Live, OnlyFans, or an interactive Masterclass platform, you’ve probably realized that standard RTMP streams have a massive 10 to 15-second delay. It completely kills real-time interactions.

Meet PulseLive :anatomical_heart:. We built a native WebRTC engine powered by Agora.io to bring sub-second, ultra-fast live streaming directly into your Bubble canvas.

Why PulseLive?

:money_bag: BYOK (Bring Your Own Key): You provide your own free Agora App ID. We don’t charge for your bandwidth. Agora gives you 10,000 free minutes every month!

:high_voltage: Zero-Latency: Real-time communication. When you speak, your fans hear it instantly.

:movie_camera: Full Studio Controls: Switch webcams in real-time, Mute Audio, and Mute Video.

:framed_picture: Smart Pausing: When the host clicks “Mute Video”, their webcam light turns off, and a custom “Be Right Back” poster image is instantly pushed to all viewers automatically.

:mobile_phone: Lightweight: Carefully engineered so the Viewer element consumes zero upload bandwidth. It just listens and renders.

How it works:

  1. Drop the Broadcaster element for your creator. Use the actions Start Camera and Go Live.

  2. Drop the Viewer element for your audience. Match the Channel Name.

  3. Done. You are live globally. :globe_showing_europe_africa:

This is V1.0 (The Broadcasting Engine). We are already actively developing V2.0, which will introduce an independent WebSocket engine for Real-Time Chat, Tipping Alerts, and Floating Emojis (without consuming your Bubble WU!).

Let me know your thoughts! Happy streaming! :clinking_glasses::sparkles:

Hey Bubble Builders! :waving_hand::sparkles:

I just pushed a huge V2 update for PulseLive! :tada: I completely rebuilt the engine to give you an enterprise-grade streaming experience without burning through your Bubble Workload Units. :chart_decreasing::light_bulb:

If you have ever built a live chat in Bubble, you know the database cost can be an absolute nightmare. In V2, we changed the paradigm entirely. :brain::counterclockwise_arrows_button:

What is new in V2: :backhand_index_pointing_down:

:video_game: Immersive Chat Overlay: The chat is no longer an ugly separate box. It now floats directly over the video player just like Twitch or IG Live! It comes with clean formatting and text shadows so it is always perfectly readable.

:eye: Live Viewer Count: A real-time red audience badge embedded right on the video. It updates instantly when users join or leave, without any page refreshes!

:money_with_wings: Zero WU Cost: The chat and presence counter run entirely on Pusher P2P client events. Your Bubble database is never touched! Absolutely zero impact on your Bubble bill!

:shield: Host Dashboard: The standalone chat element now acts as a clean sidebar panel for broadcasters , showing the live audience count right in the header so they can interact with the community.

:electric_plug: Manual Join Action: You can now trigger the stream via a workflow action instead of auto-joining on page load , giving you full control over the user experience!

Because this uses secure Presence Channels, setting up the backend auth is super important. I have included a detailed step-by-step PDF guide on the plugin test page to make it completely foolproof! :open_book::white_check_mark:

I built this specifically for founders who want to scale streaming apps without fearing surprise server bills at the end of the month.

Let me know what you think of this new architecture! :thought_balloon: I will be hanging out in the comments to answer any integration questions. :speech_balloon::backhand_index_pointing_down::fire:
