Live online debates, built for arguing.
Take a side on a question that matters, then argue it out on camera or mic. The audience chats while you talk and votes on who made the better case.
Comment sections were never built for debate.
So we built a better place to argue.
Everyone gets a fair turn.
Each side makes its case, answers the other side, asks questions and gets the last word. A timer runs every turn, so nobody talks over anyone.
The audience picks a side.
Viewers chat while they watch and vote for the side that convinced them. The result updates live.
Find a live debate to join.
Browse live and upcoming debates on politics, philosophy, religion, ethics, business and more. Watch, chat, or ask to speak.
Build your debate record.
Your profile shows the debates you have taken part in and the ones coming up, so people can follow you.
Challenge someone to a debate.
Send a private message with a debate invite that takes them straight into the room.
Popular debate topics.
Sixteen categories, each with its own live and upcoming debates.

The core of the platform is live now: debate rooms, discovery, profiles and messages. We are building the rest with the people using it, and shipping changes quickly.
- Live debate rooms on video or audio
- Casual debates or timed turns

- Profiles, following and messages
Coming next
- Communities: Spaces where clubs and groups run their own recurring debates.
- Studio: Run a debate in a real room or online. People join from their phone with a code, and the turns and clock run on screen. In early development.
- Clips: Cut the best moment of a debate and share it anywhere.
- Assistive AI: Help keeping debates fair: timing, sources and catch-up summaries. People still do the arguing.
Common questions.
What can I do on the platform today?
Start or join live debates on video or audio, watch and chat, vote for the side that convinced you, follow people and message them. Everything listed under Coming next is still being built.
How do I get started?
Sign up with your email, or log in if you already have an account. Then watch a live debate or start one of your own.
Do I have to speak on camera?
No. You can watch, chat and vote without ever speaking. Speakers choose when their microphone and camera are on, and debates can be audio only.
How does a debate work?
However you like. Most debates are casual: pick a topic, open a room in a minute and talk it through with no fixed turns, while the audience chats and votes. Want more structure? Switch on timed turns, where each side makes its case, answers the other side and gets a last word.
Can I host a private debate?
Yes. Debates can be public or private, and private ones only let in the people you invite or admit.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It runs in the browser on desktop and mobile, so there is nothing to install.
What is an online debate platform?
A website where people debate a topic live, take turns making their case and let an audience vote on the result, instead of arguing in a comment thread.
