FAQ

1. What do I need to set up the integration on the LMS side?
To integrate Kahoot! as an external LTI 1.3 tool, your LMS will require the following values:

• JWKS URL: https://lti.kahoot.com/.well-known/jwks.json

• Tool Domain (Tool URL): https://lti.kahoot.com

• Login Initiation URL: https://lti.kahoot.com/api/login/init

• Redirect/Target Link URI: https://lti.kahoot.com/api/message

Most LMS platforms (e.g., Canvas, Moodle, D2L Brightspace, Blackboard, Schoology, etc.) support these settings. However, the labels and layout may vary slightly across systems.

⚠️ Availability
The LTI integration is only available for EDU team plans with a minimum of 25 licenses.

Accounts with multiple licenses are assigned a Kahoot! Customer Success Manager to assist with setup (including the LTI integration) and other onboarding needs.
If you’re considering purchasing multiple licenses, please reach out to our Sales team for a quote via the request form on our pricing page:

2. What information do I need to provide to Kahoot!?
After registering Kahoot! as a tool in your LMS, you’ll receive the following details:

Client ID
Deployment ID

(Optional) Platform Issuer, JWKS URL, and OAuth endpoints - if not already included in one of Kahoot!’s presets.

You’ll need to enter these values into the Kahoot! LTI Management Dashboard to complete the configuration. This step allows Kahoot! to recognize and trust your LMS as a valid launch platform.

3. What if my LMS has different field names or asks for extra URLs?
Each LMS might label its configuration fields slightly differently - for example, some might use “Tool Redirect URL” instead of “Target Link URL.” If this happens, consult your LMS’s documentation or administrator to match fields correctly.
