Only the “highest-tiered” team subscriptions can upload mp3s. Those of us who pay for individual plans to use in our college classrooms do not get that perk :/
Hello, Thank you for your feedback! Uploading video and audio from your own device is only available for our highest-tiered team subscriptions and is not currently available for individual subscriptions. The following plans allow this feature:
You can use video from YouTube and Vimeo instead, including audio you have uploaded yourself there. My apologies for any inconveniences this causes! If you have any more questions or want any clarifications, please don't hesitate to reach out again!
The subscription tiers are absolutely insane, £7.5K minimum to play a sound as part of a question now and you have removed the ability to add youtube, it is a complete joke
Hi Seapeak!
Thank you for sharing your feedback - we understand these changes can be frustrating. The YouTube removal was required due to updates in YouTube’s terms and conditions, and we understand this impacts your experience.
All available details and suggested alternatives (like Vimeo or uploaded videos with certain plans) can be found in this help article.
Hi Kahoot team,
I have just come across this! We are on a “School Edu Pro”, and I wonder whether we should have access to the “record” tool.
If not, is there a way we can get that?
Hey Omar_BenJilali!
Any feature in the kahoot creator marked with a star isn't included in your current plan. For your kahoot to be playable and shareable, you'll need to upgrade to a higher plan or remove the features with a star. To check what's included in each plan, visit our pricing page: https://kahoot.com/schools/plans/.
If you are a direct Owner of the subscription, you can do it through the upgrade flow on your Kahoot! account. If you are a member of a Team plan, please reach out to the Owner of the subscription so they can assist you.
