How to spin the wheel of names

  1. Type or paste your names into the box, one per line. A column from a spreadsheet works too.
  2. Press Spin, or the space bar. The wheel ticks as it slows down and lands on one name.
  3. To give everyone a turn, press Remove and spin again, or turn on Take the winner off the wheel automatically. Restore all puts everyone back.
  4. Pick a Short, Normal or Long spin to suit the moment.

Share it or show it on a big screen

Copy link saves your names and settings into the link. Send it to a co-facilitator or keep it for next week's session. Nothing is stored on our side.

Present fills the screen with a bigger wheel, ready to share in a call or show on a projector. The sounds are gentle, and Sound on turns them off if you'd rather spin in silence.

Use it live, without the list

In a live session you don't have to type anyone's name. Claryoo's Pick a volunteer draws from everyone in your Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams call, or from people who opt in by typing a keyword in the meeting chat.

In a room, people join on their phones by QR code and tap "Count me in". The person picked sees it on their phone. You can also draw from the people who answered a poll or got a quiz right.

FAQ

Common questions.

Yes. Every name on the wheel has the same chance on every spin. The winner is chosen by your browser's built-in random number source the moment you press Spin, and the wheel then turns to land on that name.
