How to allow guest hosting
The Allow guest hosting feature is designed to provide a seamless and quick entry into Kahoot!'s interactive learning experiences. If the creator has access and enables this feature, other users can host and assign their kahoots without needing to log in or create an account. Users can jump straight into hosting a kahoot, making it easier to engage with content.
The Allow guest hosting option is available with certain plans. Games created by users without access to the Allow guest hosting feature can be hosted and assigned only by logged-in users.
☝️ The participant limit for anonymously hosted games in the classic mode is 2000. Specific participant limits apply to other game modes.
☝️ Participants can join all kahoots without logging in or creating an account. Joining kahoots as a participant does not require logging in or creating an account. Only the ability to host and assign kahoots without logging in is limited to certain creators and their settings.
☝️ Certain interactive question types require being logged in for functionality. If kahoot includes any of the following, guest hosts will be prompted to sign in:
Brainstorm
Open-ended
Word cloud
Even if these question types are present in your kahoot, the "Allow guest hosting" toggle may still appear in settings; however, guest hosts will still be required to log in once those specific questions are reached.
☝️ When the host of a game is not logged in, the report with game results isn't available.
How it works
If your plan gives you access to the Allow guest hosting option, you can enable it in kahoot's settings. It allows everyone to host and assign your game without logging in or creating an account.
