Every speech timed to the second. Synced for everyone.
Constructives, cross-ex, rebuttals — or just a 60-second hot-take. The timer everyone sees is the same clock the moderator runs. No more “wait, are you tracking time on your phone too?” The room handles it.
Your audience isn't watching.
They're voting.
Every viewer scores both debaters on the same four criteria your judges use — argument, evidence, clarity, persuasion — and the crowd verdict updates live. No back-room panel of three. The people watching decide, and they can change their minds until voting closes.
- Anyone can score — one ballot per person, change it anytime
- The crowd verdict updates live as ballots come in
- Reactions and an audience question queue, on demand
- Replays keep collecting votes — the host decides when voting closes
Live scoring from a real debate
Here's a real one. Watch it, then score it.
Two debaters took the GOAT question — Jordan or LeBron — assigned sides, full cross-examination, recorded end to end. Anyone can watch the whole thing and score both speakers on the four criteria. The crowd verdict is live.

Troubleshooting
Common video-room issues and how to clear them in under a minute.
My camera or microphone isn't working+
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.
I can't hear anyone, or nobody can hear me+
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.
The room says 'Connection Failed'+
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.
The room says 'Expired'+
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.
Video is laggy or freezing+
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.
I'm on mobile — does it work?+
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.
Do I need an account to vote?+
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.
I'm in the audience but I can't see the speakers' video+
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.
