Unless you’re a child account holder, you can share your kahoot with others in several different ways. You can share public kahoots you find on the Discover page, as well as your own kahoots on your Kahoots page.
Share link
A share link offers quick access the kahoot’s details page.
- If the kahoot is visible to everyone, then no sign in is required to view the details page. Services like Facebook, Twitter, and Slack will preview your kahoot’s title, description, and cover image when you post this link.
- If the kahoot is visible to only you, then sign in will be required. Everyone except yourself will be denied access. You and other Kahoot!’ers will not have access to each other’s reports.
- If the kahoot is visible to your team only, then sign in will be required. Everyone except you and your team members will be denied access. Live game and challenge reports will be visible to all team members in the team space list on the Reports page.
Share with others
Sharing a kahoot with others makes it visible on their “Shared with me” list on the Kahoots page. The shared kahoot doesn’t need to be visible to everyone.
To get started, simply open the kahoot’s options menu [ ⋮ ] and choose “Share”. In the “Share with other Kahoot!’ers” box, type the username of a person and choose their name from the list that appears underneath. You can share it with multiple usernames at once. Click “Share” when you’re ready to share your kahoot.
|
CAUTION: It’s not possible to unshare kahoots. If you’d like to unshare a kahoot, you’d need to delete it. If this is necessary, you can duplicate it first. Duplicates aren’t shared with anyone. |
Social media, email, and collaboration platforms
You can quickly share a kahoot on Twitter, Facebook, or Pinterest with a preview populated with the kahoot’s cover image, title, and description. You can also share via email, Google Classroom, Remind, or Microsoft Teams. Simply open the kahoot’s options menu [ ⋮ ] and choose “Share” to find these options.

How to get the question
This does not help for business. It says that I can send a link to others within my company, but the link is not provided.
We’re working with iPads in school. Is there any possibility to share a Kahoot! quickly on Apple classroom or padlet?
The share pop up does not show for me. Instead, I'm directed straight to copy link.
Using Kahoot app on Android.
Can I use Kahoot inside a PowerPoint presentation?
Something is different with the sharing link this year on Kahoot. In the past, when I would share the link with my students on Google Classroom, it would lead them to a site where they could play a Kahoot review game without having to enter a code. When I share the Kahoot with my students this year, it does not lead them to a review game at all. They are directed to my create.Kahoot.it. I have tried both creating an assignment through Google Classroom and copying the link to share through Google Classroom. When they click on play the game the join code pops up on the screen waiting for players to join. The other thing that is visible is just a list of the questions with the option to hide or show all answers, not in game form at all. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong, or if there is some other issue, but I would like to be able to share my Kahoot with my students so that they can use them as study aids. I feel that a good way to do this is if the Kahoot is in game form so that they have to choose the answer they feel is the correct answer, and test themselves to see how well they understand the concept. Thank you so much for you help with this matter. I have enjoyed using this resource with my students, and hope to continue to be able to use it in a beneficial manor.
In response to the above comment, I was also having the same problem. I looked around on the site and found the "challenge" button listed beside the "play" button on my Kahoot. If you choose "challenge", it will send the game pin to your students through Remind or Google Classroom and they can put in the game pin using the app on their phones. I tried it at home as a student and it worked perfect. I hope this helps you!
Previously I would offer extra credit to students for creating Kahoots and sharing them with me to play as a class, are they no longer able to do this? Now they have created the Kahoots and shared the link with me but I am unable to access them.
I had this very same problem this year, very frustrating. You have to share the Kahoot using the challenge option now, Kahoot changed the format. When you click on the challenge, you have the option to copy the link to share with your students. I hope this information helps.
Very frustrated! I like to challenge my students will review kahoot games! However, when I challenge my students with the copied link it takes them to the page that they are required to download the app in order to play. And even then you can only download the app off of a smartphone! Have I set up something wrong?
Same complaint as above. I used to be able to share the Kahoot link and it would take the students to a playable version, but now it brings them to the editor where they can view all of the answers. The "Challenge" option is too complicated for my needs and I do not like that it requires students to download the app. Very disappointed.
Please bring back the old playable link. Frustration with not being able to still use this option as conveniently as before has led me to searching other solutions from other developers. I loved KAHOOT, but the old playable link was a big part of it. I am looking for somewhere that offers something similar and will migrate to that platform when I find it.
Hi, I would like to be able to edit the Kahoots created by my students, so these are revised before being presented in class. If my students share their quizzes with my, will I be able to do this? Also, will I be able to share the link of the revised Kahoots with the rest of the students and play it both live and as a challenge out of the class? Many thanks!
Hi again, I had the same problem as described above. When I click on a link to play a game, it leads me to the editing interface which has the questions and answers to the game, and then the users will have to click "play". Will this be fixed? If the students see the answers, there is no game.
In addition, in this new version, do the students need to have an account or download the app in order to play?
I am using Kahoot! as part of a compulsory assignment this year and I hope that it works as good as before.
Many thanks!
Does it have to be a finished kahoot because i want to work on one with my friend
I have two accounts. How can I combine them into one? Sharing is not an option for me because I have too many games in my old account.
Not a fan of sharing the link, and require the students to download the app. These students all have chromebooks, why do they need to install the app on their personal phones?
This is super frustrating because you have the option of directly sharing the kahoot to Google Classroom, yet they are required to download the app.
Please make it shareable within the website or Google classroom. Some students don't have phones.
I created a Kahoot on the company account and would like to copy it to my private space (My kahoots)... Anybody can help???
I'm having my students create their own Kahoots and then post a link to theirs on a Google Doc. However, when the kids click on the link to play someone else's it asks for a game code. The game code changes every time, so there's no way for the kids to play. Can this please be changed? Otherwise, I'll just use Quizizz instead of Kahoot.
Hi all!
It looks like there's a bit of confusion and frustration around sharing. I've read over the prior comments, composed a list of what I believe are all the questions needing answers, and will attempt to answer them all fully and simply below.
There’s no link when I try to share with others in my company, why?
How do I move a kahoot I made from my team space to my private space?
Can we share quickly to Apple classroom or padlet?
I’m not seeing any share options, why?
Can I host a Kahoot! live game inside a PowerPoint presentation?
Share links take people to a page that shows all questions and answers, why?
How can students create and share kahoots with me or other classmates? How can I review/revise student kahoots before they’re shared with others?
We can only share with students via challenges, which requires the mobile app. This doesn’t work. Is there another solution?
Can I create a kahoot together with a friend?
How do I combine two accounts into one?
I am trying to share a Kahoot with my students so they can practice at home. When they click the link, they can also have access to the answers before even start playing it. How can I share a Kahoot game without the student having previous access to the list of questions?
My kahoot will only safe as draft unless I pay for it but I've heard it's free for teachers
I CANT DO IT!!!!!!
i cant do it its unusefull like this and no offense
Why isn't the challenge button showing on my account? I can't play in real time with my students. They aren't in my classroom any longer. They are not online with me all at the same time. I need this feature.
I was having similar problems to many above, kids were being prompted for the apps and I did not have a bypass. Turns out I could skip that if I did not choose personalized learning toggle. Back to being able to share in my google classroom without the app. Yes!
