Frequently asked questions
Answers about public rooms, debate topics, profiles, login, and how the main app connects to the public site.
What is Debate?
Debate is a live debate platform for creating public rooms, watching debates, joining chat, and following debaters by profile.
Do I need an account to browse public content?
Public guides, topic pages, legal pages, and shareable public surfaces can be viewed without an account. Creating rooms, following profiles, messaging, and joining app features require login.
How do live debate rooms work?
A creator starts or schedules a debate room around a topic. Speakers join the room, the audience can watch and participate through chat, and public links make rooms easier to share.
Can I create my own debate?
Yes. After logging in, use the create flow to name a debate, choose a category, add details, and open a room for others to join or watch.
How are profiles used?
Profiles help people find debaters, follow creators, see debate activity, and get back to speakers whose arguments they want to hear again.
How should I pick a debate topic?
Choose a question with two serious sides, clear stakes, and enough specificity that speakers can make concrete arguments.
