Room setup
Create a room.
Set the topic, choose how the room works, and invite people to make their case. Once created, the room opens as a clean live stage.
Camera check
Enable your laptop camera and microphone before the stage opens. In production this connects to a live audio/video provider; here it uses the browser permission flow.
