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
A YouTube worksheet generator writes questions from a video so you do not have to pause and type them yourself. In VidQuiz you paste a public YouTube link, pick up to 30 multiple choice, true or false or short answer questions, and download a PDF worksheet: numbered questions, lettered options, a blank line for each short answer, and the answer key at the end. The same set exports to Google Forms, Canvas, Blackboard or Moodle. Plans start at $49 a month for 40 worksheets, with a free demo of three.
A video worksheet used to cost a planning period: watch the clip, pause, type a question, repeat. Paste the YouTube link here instead and VidQuiz reads the video from its captions, writes the questions, and gives you a printable PDF with the questions on top and the answer key at the end.
You choose how many questions (up to 30) and which kinds: multiple choice, true or false, or short answer with a blank line to write on. Edit anything before you print. If the class is working on laptops that day, the same questions go out as a Google Forms file, a QTI package for Canvas or Brightspace, a Blackboard file, a Moodle GIFT file, or a share link.
At a glance
What the worksheet PDF contains, line by line
Swipe left to see all columns →
| Part of the PDF | What prints | Why it matters on paper |
|---|---|---|
| Header | The worksheet title, the question count, the difficulty and the language | Rename the title in the editor to match your unit before you print |
| Multiple choice questions | A numbered stem with lettered options, four by default | Students circle a letter, so marking is a glance at the key |
| True or false questions | A numbered statement with the two choices | Good for a quick recall check during the video |
| Short answer questions | A numbered question with a blank answer line | Asks students to write, not just recognize |
| Answer key | After a divider at the end: every correct answer, plus the one line explanation when there is one | Print only the question pages for the class and keep the last page for yourself |
| Plan mark | On the free demo, a small VidQuiz mark in the page margin. Paid plans print clean | The mark sits outside the question area, so the layout is identical |
Read from the PDF template the export uses. Timestamps are not printed on the sheet. They show in the editor next to every question, which is where you use them: to jump to the moment in the video and check the key before you print.
How do I create a worksheet from a YouTube video?
Copy the link of the video, paste it into VidQuiz, choose the number and type of questions, and generate. When the draft appears, read it, fix anything you would word differently, delete anything off topic, and export the PDF. For a ten to fifteen minute classroom video the whole job takes a few minutes, most of it spent reading.
VidQuiz reads a YouTube video through the captions YouTube already has, including the automatic ones. That covers nearly every educational channel teachers use. If a video has no captions at all, or it is not on YouTube, paste its transcript into the box instead (up to 60,000 characters) and the questions are written from that.
- Paste a public YouTube link.
- Pick up to 30 questions and the types you want.
- Read and edit every question, using the timestamps to check the key.
- Download the PDF, or export the same set to Google Forms or your LMS.
Can AI make a worksheet from a YouTube video?
Yes. An AI worksheet generator reads what is said in the video and writes questions about it, with the correct answers marked. The draft is a starting point, not a finished product: you should read every question before it goes in front of a class, because a model can phrase an option ambiguously or test a detail you did not care about.
What makes the review fast is that every question carries a timestamp back to the moment in the video it came from. When a question looks off, one click takes you to the exact spot, so checking twenty questions is a skim rather than a rewatch.
What does the worksheet look like when I print it?
Plain and printable. The title and question count sit at the top, then the numbered questions: lettered options for multiple choice, the two choices for true or false, and a ruled blank for each short answer. The answer key comes after a divider at the end, with the correct answer for every question and a one line explanation where the generator wrote one.
The key is deliberately at the back. Print the question pages for the class and keep the key page for yourself, or print the whole file for a self check activity where students mark their own work. The table above lists every part of the file.
Can I use the same questions in Google Classroom or Canvas?
Yes, and this is where a quiz generator beats a worksheet only tool. The questions you printed also export as a Google Forms ready CSV for Classroom, a QTI 1.2 package for Canvas and Brightspace, a tab delimited file for Blackboard and a GIFT file for Moodle. Nothing gets retyped, and the online version grades itself.
A common pattern is to print the worksheet for students watching the video in class and assign the Form or LMS quiz to anyone absent. Same questions, same key, and the absent student's score lands in the gradebook with everybody else's.
What kinds of YouTube videos make good worksheets?
Videos where someone explains something out loud work best, because the questions come from the spoken content. Science explainers, history documentaries, recorded lectures, how it works videos and TED style talks all produce strong sets. Ten to twenty minutes is the sweet spot for a single class worksheet of eight to fifteen questions.
Music videos, silent demonstrations and clips that rely on what is on screen rather than what is said give the generator little to work with, since it reads the words, not the pictures. For a long lecture, split the worksheet by section or use the Creator plan, which handles videos up to 120 minutes.
How much does a YouTube worksheet generator cost?
VidQuiz starts at $49 a month for 40 quizzes, which means 40 worksheets, with videos up to 60 minutes. Creator is $99 a month for 150 and videos up to 120 minutes, and Team is $199 a month for 600. Paying yearly halves the price, so Starter works out to $288 a year. A free demo of three quizzes is granted once so you can try it on your own video first.
The price is per worksheet you generate, never per student. A worksheet printed for five sections of 30 costs the same as one printed for a single class, and the Forms or LMS version adds nothing extra.
Who uses a video worksheet generator?
Middle and high school teachers who build lessons around YouTube videos and want a viewing guide for each one. Substitute plans, where a video and a worksheet are the whole lesson. Flipped classrooms, where students watch at home and the worksheet or Form proves they did. And homeschool families and tutors who use video lessons and want something written to go with them.
What they share is a queue of videos and no time to write questions for each. If you already have a worksheet and just need to move it into an LMS, that is a converter job; this is for when the questions do not exist yet.
