Common questions
Is the YouTube quiz generator free?
Yes. A few videos a day are free with no account, and signing in with Google raises the limit.
Can teachers use it for class?
Yes. Copy the questions with their answers and explanations into Google Forms, a worksheet, or your LMS. Review them first: they're AI-generated.
How do I import the flashcards into Anki or Quizlet?
Open the Flashcards tab and click Copy. Each card is one line with the front and back separated by a tab, which both Anki and Quizlet accept on import.
Where does each answer come from?
Every question links to the moment in the video that covers it, so you can rewatch the explanation.
Does it work for videos in other languages?
Yes. The quiz is written in the language of the video's captions.
