Player identifier (Pro)

Player identifier is a new feature that allows tracking player performance across multiple games. Once you or your team have hosted multiple games with player identification on, you’ll be able to combine reports into one.

Please note the following:

• When enabled, identified learners can be tracked per game.
• Identified players only show in reports, not during gameplay.

Set up player identifier

Before the admin and members of a team can toggle player identifier, the admin must enable this feature for the team.

1. Click the gear in the top right of your screen.
2. Click “Manage team space”
3. Toggle on “Enable player identifier” under Settings.

By default, players will be identified by email address. You can change this to “other” and type the name of your own custom identifier.

Host with player identifier

If the admin has set up player identifier, the admin and members of that team can toggle player identification when they host games.

1. Click the play button on any kahoot visible to only you or your team.
2. Toggle on “Enable player identifier” under Classic and Team mode buttons.
3. Click “Classic” to start the game.

Playing a live kahoot with player identifier

If the host toggled on player identifier before they started the game, players can download our Android or iOS app or go to kahoot.it to enter the game PIN. They will be prompted to enter their email or your custom identifier before they choose a nickname.

• Identified learners will not have their identifiers displayed during gameplay. Identifiers will only show in reports.
• If identified learners are using our Android or iOS app, their identifier is saved in the app so they aren’t prompted to enter it every time they join games by the host’s team.
