Quiz maker for online courses from video
A quiz maker for online courses, built from your lesson videos.
What you are looking at
Three quizzes VidQuiz generated from three real YouTube videos. They are saved output, not generated in your browser. Pick one to answer it, and open the source video to check the questions against what is actually said in it.
Your own video gets a fresh quiz once you sign up.

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 quiz maker for online courses turns each lesson video into a knowledge check without you writing the questions. Upload or paste a lesson recording and VidQuiz drafts multiple choice questions with the correct answer marked, a one line explanation, and a timestamp back to the moment being tested. You edit to match how you teach, then drop the quiz into your course platform, export it, or share a link. The practical win for course creators is coverage: a quiz after every lesson instead of a quiz after the three lessons you had time to write.
For course creators, a quiz maker for online courses is the difference between a video library and a real learning experience. Paste each lesson video and VidQuiz reads it, then writes multiple-choice questions with answers and short explanations you can drop in after the lesson.
Quizzes between modules drive completion and retention, which means better reviews and fewer refunds. Generate a quiz per lesson in seconds, edit to match your teaching, then export to your course platform or share a link. You build a more complete, higher-converting course without spending hours writing questions for every module.

What it takes to quiz every lesson in a course

| Writing them yourself | With VidQuiz | |
|---|---|---|
| Effort per lesson | Rewatch, draft, and edit, often an hour | Generate, then a short review pass |
| A 20 lesson course | Realistically a week of work | An afternoon |
| Coverage in practice | The first few lessons, then it slips | Every lesson gets one |
| Question quality | As good as your energy that day | Consistent draft, your judgment on top |
| Cost per learner | Your time | Learners are not metered, so scale is free |
| Delivery | Whatever your platform supports | Share link, Google Forms CSV, QTI, Moodle GIFT, PDF, CSV |
Learners take a VidQuiz quiz without creating an account, so a course that sells to 50 students costs the same as one that sells to 5,000.
What is the best quiz maker for online courses?
The honest answer depends on where your content already lives. If your course platform has a built in quiz builder, it is usually the right place for the quiz to sit, because that is where completion and progress are tracked. The gap is almost never the delivery, it is the authoring: the builder gives you an empty question box and expects you to fill it for every lesson.
That is the specific problem VidQuiz solves. It is not a course platform and does not try to be one. It writes the questions from your lesson videos so you can paste them into whatever builder you already use, or deliver them as a share link, a Google Forms CSV, or a QTI package if your platform imports one.
Do quizzes improve online course completion rates?
Retrieval practice is one of the better established findings in learning research: being asked to recall something strengthens memory more than rereading or rewatching it. A short check after each lesson also gives learners a visible sense of progress, which is the mechanism most course platforms lean on when they show a progress bar.
We are not going to invent a completion percentage for you, because the honest number depends on your audience and your course. What is reliable is the direction: a course where every lesson ends in a quick check tends to hold attention better than a wall of videos, and it gives you data on which lesson loses people.
How many questions should each lesson quiz have?
Three to five for a short lesson, eight to twelve for a full length one. The aim of a lesson quiz is a fast confidence check, not an exam. Long quizzes between modules are where completion actually drops, because they feel like a barrier rather than a checkpoint.
A useful rule: one question per idea you would be annoyed to find someone missed. If a lesson has four such ideas, four questions is the right length. Generate the full set, then cut it down to those, which is much faster than writing four good questions from scratch.
Can you add quizzes to Teachable, Thinkific, or Kajabi?
Yes, through their own quiz or assessment features, and VidQuiz fits in front of that step rather than replacing it. Generate the questions from your lesson video, review them, then paste them into your platform builder so the quiz lives where your learners and their progress already are.
When you would rather not retype anything, share the VidQuiz link directly inside the lesson, or export a Google Forms ready CSV. Learners take it in the browser with no account, so nothing about your enrollment or your platform pricing changes.
