Claryoo vs Slido

Slido and Claryoo both get people answering during a live session. Slido is an audience interaction add-on: people join with a short code, link or QR code to vote, ask and upvote questions. Claryoo is an AI co-host that joins your Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams call as a participant: people answer polls by typing in the meeting chat, you get a private read on the room, and a summary when it ends.

Claryoo runs polls, quizzes and volunteer picks that people answer in the meeting chat or on their phones in a room, puts every question from chat and voice on one board, shows you who's engaged and who's gone quiet, and hands you what was decided and who owes what when the session ends.

What each tool does

Slido

You create polls, quizzes, word clouds and a Q&A board. Participants open a link or scan a QR code, with no install, and answer. Results show on your screen or inside your slides. The Q&A board, where the audience upvotes questions, is the heart of it, which is why it's common at conferences and town halls.

Claryoo

Claryoo joins the call. Before the session, describe it and Claryoo drafts your polls and quizzes; 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, longest wait first. Privately, you see who's with you and who went quiet, with one nudge when something matters. When it ends, you get the decisions, the follow-ups you owe by name, and the poll results.

FAQ

Is Claryoo a Slido alternative? For workshops and trainings, yes, online or in the room: live polls, quizzes and questions, 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 large events built around an upvoted Q&A board, Slido is the better fit.

Do participants need a code or an app? No app. On a call, people answer by typing in the meeting chat. 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 run both on the same call? Yes. They don't conflict.
