Te see presidential debates live you will nee to downlad application which will be available before the the first presidential debate so stay tuned.
Additionally, ‘MyDebates.org’ will feature high-quality video streaming and as the candidates are speaking, “issue icons” will light up as candidates discuss specific main topics. Users will be polled periodically throughout the debates with short questions with multiple choice answers (or iconic responses, e.g. thumbs-up/ down). This format will reduce distraction while eliciting specific and valuable feedback.
Immediately following each debate, ‘MyDebates.org’ will house videos of the debates in their entirety, available for viewing at any time.
