Want to publicly share your kahoot? Want to keep it private so that only you or specific users have access to it?
If you're a student, or a free business user you may be limited to only making private kahoots.

Visibility options
If your kahoot is saved to a personal folder, it will have the following 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 personal folder in the Library tab.
- 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 personal folder in the Library tab.
- Unlisted: (subscription required) Your kahoot will not appear in search results on the Discover page, but you can post a share link anywhere. This option is available if the kahoot is saved in your team space or under the personal folder in the Library tab.
If your kahoot is saved to a team folder, it will have the following visibility options:
- Organization: (subscription required) Your kahoot will be visible only to other members of your Team Space. It will not appear in search results on the Discover page.
- Unlisted: (subscription required) Your kahoot will not appear in search results on the Discover page, but you can post a share link anywhere. This option is available if the kahoot is saved in your team space or under the personal folder in the Library tab.
How to change visibility
You can quickly edit your kahoot's visibility from the Library tab, or by using the settings button while editing your kahoot.
- From the Library tab, click on the icon to the right side of your username under the kahoot.
- From the kahoot creator (to access it click "Create" or "Edit" in the Library tab), click the "Settings" button on the top navigation bar.
If your game is stored in the Team Space's folder you will be restricted to making this game "Unlisted" (if this option is available with your subscription) or visible only to the "Organization". In order to be able to use other visibility options, you need to move your game to the personal folder.

My Kahoot! cannot be found by searching for it by name, only by searching the creator. Why is this and is there any way to fix it?
It would be great if you could default it to select "Only you" so I don't have to change it every time.
Can I stop it from auto saving in student’s app? I don’t want them replaying it after we’ve played.
