What VidQuiz reads: paste a YouTube link and VidQuiz watches the video itself. For any other source (Vimeo, an MP4, a screen recording, an upload) paste that video’s transcript and VidQuiz writes the questions from it.

Free plan: 3 quizzes a month, no card needed
Showing a documentary in class is easy, but checking that students actually followed it is the hard part, so a documentary to quiz tool fills that gap. Paste a YouTube link and VidQuiz watches the film itself; upload the file with its subtitle track for a copy you hold locally. Either way it writes multiple-choice questions with answers and short explanations covering the facts and themes.
It turns a passive watch into purposeful viewing: students know there is a quiz, so they pay attention to the details that matter. Generate in seconds, edit questions to match your curriculum, and share a link or export to your LMS. You decide exactly which questions make the final quiz.
