Cisco is buying Slido to improve Q&A, polls and engagement in WebEx videoconferencing

While Zoom continues to hold a lot of

mindshare (and market share) in the world of videoconferencing, Cisco’s

WebEx division today announced an acquisition to underscore its own intention to keep its hat firmly in the game. It is picking up Slido,

the company that lets people moderate questions and interactions from a

larger group participating both in virtual conferences, as well as in

live events.Terms of the deal are not being disclosed but we are trying to find out. Bratislava, Slovakia-based Slido, according to PitchBook, had only raised about $40,000 in outside funding since being founded in 2013.
