This page only serves quizzes that were already generated, and it does not send your link anywhere. Reading a video takes about half a minute of real work on our side, so it runs in your account, not in an anonymous demo.
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.

The short answer
Last updated July 2026
A podcast quiz generator turns a spoken episode into a set of questions instead of making you write them. VidQuiz works from the episode transcript (read straight off the video when the episode is on YouTube, and pasted in by you for an MP3 or the audio track of a recorded call, since VidQuiz has no speech-to-text of its own), and builds multiple choice questions: four options each, the correct answer marked, a one line explanation, and a timestamp back to the moment in the episode it came from. Edit anything, then share a link or export to Google Forms, PDF, QTI, Moodle GIFT, or CSV.
Audio learning is huge, but it is easy to finish an episode and retain almost nothing, so a podcast to quiz tool turns listening into recall. Paste the episode transcript, or upload the audio with its transcript, and VidQuiz writes multiple-choice questions with answers and short explanations. VidQuiz has no speech-to-text of its own. It reads YouTube links directly, and everything else needs the words supplied. Most podcasts publish a transcript on the episode page, and if yours does not, Whisper produces one in a couple of minutes.
It works for training podcasts, educational shows, and internal audio briefings where the takeaways actually matter. Generate a quick recall check in seconds, edit the questions to focus on the right points, then share a link or export to your LMS. You always control the final quiz before it goes out.

Can you make a quiz from a podcast?
Yes. A quiz generator does not need pictures, it needs speech, so an audio only episode works exactly like a video. VidQuiz processes the spoken content from beginning to end, picks the points that carry the argument rather than the small talk, and writes a question for each one with the answer marked and a short explanation.
The practical limit is the audio itself. A clear single speaker or a well recorded interview produces good questions. Heavy crosstalk, poor microphones, or an episode that is mostly banter gives the generator less to work with, and the draft will show it. That is worth knowing before you queue up a back catalogue.
Why quiz a podcast at all?
Because listening is passive and retention from passive input is poor. The testing effect is one of the better replicated findings in learning research: trying to retrieve something you heard strengthens the memory far more than hearing it a second time. A five question check after an episode does more for recall than replaying the episode.
In a work setting there is a second reason, which is evidence. If a company distributes a training podcast, a play count proves nothing about whether anyone absorbed the policy. A scored quiz attached to a named person on a date is the record that survives an audit or a performance conversation.
What audio formats work?
Paste a supported public episode link or upload the audio file directly. The audio track of a recorded webinar, a Zoom or Teams session, or a conference talk works the same way, since VidQuiz is reading speech rather than looking at the picture. If you only have a video file of a talk, you do not need to strip the audio out first.
Do listeners need an account to take the quiz?
No. Share the link and anyone can answer in the browser without signing up, and listeners are never counted against your plan, so an episode that reaches fifty people and one that reaches five thousand cost the same. When the score has to be recorded against a roster instead, export the questions into the system that already holds your training records.
