The Debate Room
Table of contents
Screen Layout
The Debate Room is divided into three areas:
- Government side
- Opposition side
- Adjudicator area
Adjudicators see additional controls to manage the speech timer, pick the next speaker, and advance to the Evaluation stage.
In-Room Controls
The control bar at the bottom of the Debate Room includes (depending on your role):
- camera and microphone toggles
- Debate — open the Motion Drawer to reread the motion at any time
- Ballot — adjudicators only; open the Ballot drawer to score the current speaker without leaving the Debate Room
- speaker controls (play / pause / stop / forward / back) for adjudicators
- Evaluation (arrow) — adjudicators only; advance to the Evaluation stage
- Stop — adjudicators only; end the debate before the speeches finish
- Leave — leave the debate. If you are not an adjudicator, the debate continues without you.
