Frequently asked questions
How many questions will the quiz have?+
It scales to the density of the video — a focused 15-minute explainer might yield 8–12 questions; a longer or topic-rich video will produce more. It focuses on the most testable concepts rather than padding with trivial questions.
Are the correct answers marked in the output?+
Yes — each question comes with the correct answer identified, so you can use the output as both the student quiz and the teacher answer key without extra work.
Can teachers use this for a class or upload it to an LMS?+
Yes — the plain-text output copies cleanly into Google Forms, Microsoft Forms, Canvas, Moodle, or any LMS. Review the questions before distributing to a class; always verify accuracy against the source video.
What if some questions are wrong or off-topic?+
Edit them — the output is plain text, so you can delete, reword, or add questions freely before sharing. Auto-captions can occasionally misrender technical terms, which can affect question quality.
Is the quiz generator free?+
Yes — completely free, no account, no sign-up. Generate quizzes from as many videos as you need.
Do I need to create an account or install an extension?+
Neither — it's a web tool. Paste a URL on desktop or mobile; nothing to install.
Does it work on videos without captions?+
It requires a caption track to read. Most public videos have auto-generated captions; videos with captions disabled can't be processed.
Can I set the difficulty level of the questions?+
The tool generates questions calibrated to the content — a beginner-level explainer yields accessible questions; an advanced lecture yields harder ones. Manual difficulty targeting isn't available in the free tool.
Can I export the quiz as a PDF or formatted file?+
The output is plain text you can copy into any tool — Word, Google Docs, Notion — and format or export to PDF from there.
Can I build a quiz bank from a whole course or channel?+
This free tool handles one video at a time. [veridive](https://veridive.com) lets you query across many videos at once — useful for pulling the key concepts from an entire course when building a comprehensive question bank.
