Restrictions

☝️ Young students are limited to private visibility and cannot share their games with other users. Read more about age-based restrictions here.

☝️ Free business users are limited to private visibility. An upgrade is necessary to enable public visibility.

☝️ Some of the visibility options may be available only with certain paid plans.

Visibility options

• Public: Your kahoot will appear in search results on the Discover page. Services like Facebook, Twitter, and Slack will preview your kahoot’s title, description, and cover image when you post a share link.

  ☝️ This option is available if the kahoot is saved under the private workspace.

• Private: Your kahoot will not appear in search results on the Discover page. You must be signed in to access the kahoot. To give others access, follow these steps to share with others.

  ☝️ This option is available if the kahoot is saved under the private workspace.

• Unlisted (included only in certain plans): Your kahoot will not appear in search results on the Discover page, but you can post a share link anywhere. 

  ☝️ This option can be available in both a private and shared workspace.

  ☝️ The availability of the unlisted option depends on your plan type and level. We recommend the Publisher subscription if you need this functionality.

• Organization (included only in certain plans): Your kahoot will be visible only to other members of your shared workspace. It will not appear in search results on the Discover page.

  ☝️ This option is available if the kahoot is saved under the shared workspace.

  ☝️ The availability of the organization visibility option depends on your plan type. We recommend the team plans to share content with other users from your company, school, or higher ed institution.
