What are the limitations of using Kahoot! templates?

When using templates, please be aware of the following:

• Some contain advanced features requiring an upgrade.
• You can only use one template per kahoot.
• You can only use templates when creating a new kahoot, not editing existing kahoots.
• Templates cannot be removed or replaced once added, though questions can be deleted individually.

How do I choose a Kahoot! template?

Selecting a template is the very first step when starting a new game.

1. Log in to your account and click Create to start a new game.
2. When the Create new kahoot window appears, select the Templates option.
   
3. Click on a specific template to preload its relevant questions and slides.
   
4. Alternatively, click the New kahoot button to bypass templates and build from scratch.

How do I edit a Kahoot! template?

Once a template is applied, it acts as a foundational draft that you have total control over.

• After you click on a template, you’ll find sample and “fill-in-the-blank” questions and slides preloaded into your new kahoot.
• Each slide demonstrates a new way to frame questions or guide your game.
• The pre-filled information is completely customizable, as if you created the kahoot from scratch.
• You can edit the text, swap out images, remove questions, or add more questions to the sequence.

FAQ

1. Can I use more than one Kahoot! template in a single game? No. The system allows you to use only one template per kahoot. If you need elements from different templates, you will need to add those specific question formats manually.
    
2. Can I add a template to an existing kahoot? No. You can only apply templates at the very beginning of the creation process when creating a new kahoot.
    
3. How do I remove a Kahoot! template once it is added? Templates cannot be un-applied or swapped out once you select them. If you change your mind, your best option is to either manually delete the preloaded questions one by one or simply exit the creator without saving and start a brand new kahoot.
    
4. Why am I being asked to upgrade when using a template? Some templates feature advanced question types (like Polls, Puzzles, or Open-ended questions) that require a higher subscription tier. You can bypass the upgrade prompt by deleting those specific premium questions from your game.
    
5. Can I create my own custom templates? While pre-designed templates cannot be modified, you can create a reusable custom template by simply duplicating an existing kahoot. Higher-tier business and educational plans also offer Custom Themes to apply specific branding and logos across your team.
    
6. Are templates available on the Kahoot! mobile app? Yes! You can use pre-made templates to quickly build kahoots directly from the Kahoot! mobile app when starting a new game.
