Vevox is a UK company located in Hampshire.[1] that develops audience engagement tools to run live polls, quizzes, Q&A, real-time word clouds and surveys.[2][3][4][5]

History and Background of Vevox

Based in Hampshire, UK, the company now known as Vevox (formerly known as Meetoo)[6][7][8] was founded between the years of 2003 and 2008 when it was created by Finnish developers to what was entitled the "Reactor" platform. The platform was used to make television programmes interactive through the use of voting[9]. From 2016, the Vevox platform went live with their products to be able to sell their services to the Higher Education and Workplace sectors.[10][11][12][13][14][15]

Vevox allows users to hear the most quietest voices which can be achieved through posting questions or comments anonymously or through anonymous voting.[16][17][18][19][20]

The platform gives users the ability to obtain feedback, questions and ideas from an audience through the use of a device (such as a smartphone, iPad or computer). Often the use of Vevox is for running a brainstorming session, to run a quiz or to gather feedback from an audience. Users use the platform alongside other applications such as PowerPoint[21], Microsoft Teams[22] and Zoom.[23]

The name "Vevox" was created with the realisation of the importance of "Valuing Every Voice", inspired by the Latin word "vox". The "V" and "E" equates to the words "Value" and "Every" before the word Vox.

In recent times

Vevox offers a freemium business model[24][25]. The company states that their mission is to enable everyone to have an equal chance to be heard in classes, meetings and workplace training through the use of their technology[26]. In recent times, Vevox has been awarded an BETT award for "Best Higher or Further Education Digital Services"[27][28] (previously known as Meetoo).
