Video quiz maker: interactive video quiz generator for any video

How do you make a quiz from a video?

Paste the video link, generate the draft, review it, and share. The whole loop takes minutes. The generator reads the recording, selects what is worth testing, and writes each question with four options, a marked answer, and an explanation. Your job is the review pass: cut the questions that test trivia, sharpen anything ambiguous, and make sure the coverage matches what you actually wanted people to take away.

Done by hand, the same twenty question quiz means rewatching the recording, deciding what matters, drafting stems, inventing three plausible wrong answers each, and building an answer key. That is comfortably an afternoon, which is why most videos never get a quiz at all.

Can you make a quiz from a YouTube video?

Yes. Paste any public YouTube URL and the quiz is built from the video itself, with nothing to download or transcribe on your side. The same works for Vimeo links, direct MP4 files, recorded webinars, course modules, lecture capture, and screen recordings. If there is spoken content, there are questions in it.

Where can you use the finished quiz?

Share it as a link and anyone can take it in the browser without an account, which is the fastest route for a comprehension check after a webinar or a lesson. If the score needs to be recorded, export it: a Google Forms ready CSV for a classroom check, a QTI package for Canvas, Blackboard or Brightspace, a Moodle GIFT file for Moodle, PDF for a printed test, or plain CSV to work with the questions in a spreadsheet.

How do you add questions to a video?

There are two ways, and they answer different questions. You can embed the questions in the video so playback pauses and the viewer answers inside a player, which proves people watched. Or you can generate a separate quiz from the video and deliver it in your LMS, a Google Form, or on paper, which proves people understood and puts a score in a gradebook.

VidQuiz is the second shape. It never touches the video file and it is not a player, so there is no timeline to place interactions on. You paste the source, review the question set it drafts, and take the questions with you as an export. That trade costs you watch analytics and buys you a question bank that is reusable next term and portable to any platform that reads QTI.

How many questions should a video quiz have?

For a video under fifteen minutes, five to eight questions is usually right. For a forty minute lecture or a recorded training session, ten to fifteen covers the material without turning a knowledge check into an exam. The useful test is coverage rather than count: every section of the recording that carries a point you care about should be represented once, and nothing should be tested twice.

Generate a longer draft than you intend to keep and cut down. It is much faster to delete the four questions that test a passing remark than to notice, later, that the middle twenty minutes of the video went unasked about.
