ClaryooClaryoo vs Poll Everywhere
Poll Everywhere runs polls people answer at a custom link. Claryoo runs polls people answer in the meeting chat, reads the room, and writes up the outcome.

Poll Everywhere is an audience response tool: people open a link such as pollev.com/yourname on their phone or laptop and respond to polls, quizzes, word clouds and Q&A.

What each tool does
Poll Everywhere
A response tool built around your presentation. You add activities to your slides or run them from the web, and participants answer at your link. Custom response URLs instead of random codes are part of how it positions itself for business use. Results appear live in your slides.
Claryoo
A co-host that joins the call. Before the session, describe it and Claryoo drafts your polls and quizzes in order; add your slides from a PDF if you like. During the session, press Next and each poll launches in the meeting chat, where people answer by typing. Questions asked out loud or in chat land on one board. Privately, you see who's with you and who went quiet. When it ends, you get the decisions, the follow-ups you owe by name, and the poll results.

FAQ
Is Claryoo a Poll Everywhere alternative? For workshops and trainings, yes, on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or in the room: live polls and quizzes answered in the meeting chat or on phones by QR, plus a read on the room (including which slide lost people) and the outcome written up. For polls embedded in PowerPoint or Keynote at large events, Poll Everywhere is the better fit.
Do participants need a link or an account? No account. On a call, people answer by typing in the meeting chat of the call they're already in. In a room, they scan a QR code and answer on their phones, with no app or sign-up.
Does Claryoo record the call? It doesn't record video. Claryoo transcribes the call live to read the room and build your summary, and call audio is deleted automatically after 7 days.
Can I use both on the same call? Yes. They don't conflict.
