Troubleshooting
Common video-room issues, in the order people actually hit them.
Not sure what's wrong? Test your connection →
Check that your browser has permission to use your camera and mic. Look for the camera icon in your browser's address bar. If it's blocked, click it and allow access, then refresh the page.
Your system audio output or input is probably set to the wrong device. Unplug and re-plug headphones, switch outputs in your OS settings, then refresh the page to re-connect.
A firewall, VPN, or corporate network is usually blocking WebRTC. Try disabling your VPN or switching to a different network (your phone hotspot works in a pinch). Run the connection test if you're not sure.
Rooms have a time limit set when the debate is created. If yours expired, the debate may have ended. Check the event page, or ask the organizer to spin up a fresh room.
Close other tabs and apps using your camera or bandwidth. A wired connection helps if you've got one. You can also turn off HD video in the room settings to fall back to a lighter stream.
Yes. Chrome on Android and Safari on iOS are both supported. For the best experience use a laptop or desktop on a stable connection, but mobile works as a fallback.
Yes, a free account, and it only takes a few seconds. Anyone can watch without one, but voting and scoring require signing in so each person counts once per debate.
Yes, two ways. Record a 60-second video take on any topic page and let the room vote and counter it, or practice a full round against the AI coach at /coach. You can also go live solo and share the link. The first person to join takes the other side.
Audience members are view-only by default so the debate isn't disrupted by 200 cameras. You should still see the speakers' video and audio. If video is blank, try a hard refresh.
One topic. One link. One room. Everything else is already wired up.
