How to change kahoot settings: Title
Once you learn how to change kahoot settings, come up with a meaningful title that accurately describes what your kahoot is about. It will help other users find it in search results and understand if it’s relevant.
☝️ You cannot save the game as a full version (it will save as a non-playable draft) without adding the title.
☝️ A title can be up to 95 characters
How to change kahoot settings: Description
It is easier for other users to find your kahoot on the Discover page by its description than by its questions. You can also add a # in front of words to highlight them as closely related to your kahoot (for example, “A #trivia quiz about #popular #music”).
☝️ Descriptions can be up to 500 characters.
How to change kahoot settings: Cover image
Adding a cover image is an excellent opportunity to give more context to your kahoot. Kahoots with cover images are also boosted slightly by our search algorithm, making them more likely to be found by others than kahoots without a cover image.
☝️ You can upload an image from your computer or from our image library.
☝️ Images need to be:
- PNG, JPEG, or GIF format, in RGB color mode
- No larger than 5MB or 3264x3264 pixels
How to change kahoot settings: Save to
Decide where the kahoot is saved. You can move a kahoot by changing where it’s saved.
☝️ If you are an owner, admin, or member of a shared workspace (team subscription required), you can choose personal folders or team folders.
☝️ Kahoots will have different visibility options based on where they're saved.
How to change kahoot settings: Language
This setting helps other users looking for games in a specific language to find your game in the Discover section of our platform.
☝️ It does not alter the content of your game. We do not offer a built-in translation feature.
How to change kahoot settings: Visibility
Decide who can see your game. Kahoots have different visibility options based on where they're saved.

☝️ If you're a student, you may be limited to making kahoots visible to only you.
How to change kahoot settings: Allow duplication (available with certain plans)
This option allows you to decide whether you want to allow other Kahoot!'ers to copy your game.
☝️ Enable it if you want to make it easier for other users to create content similar to yours. They can adjust it to their needs without affecting the original version.
☝️ Disable this option if you don't want your content to be copied and reused by other creators.
Live game
How to change kahoot settings: Lobby video
Paste a YouTube video URL into the Lobby video field and the video will play full screen in the background while participants join your game. This can be just a bit of music, some comedic relief, or an instructional video that provides answers to questions they’ll see.
☝️ When a video is added to the lobby the Kahoot! Theme music is automatically disabled.
☝️ Only YouTube videos can be added to the lobby.
How to change kahoot settings: Lobby music
You can select the default sound for your game. You can choose from our list.
☝️ It's not possible to upload your own audio files.
☝️ Music can be changed in the settings of each live session.

Hello @johnrmckelvey, Yes, you can change the answer randomization settings in Kahoot! When hosting a live game, you have the option to toggle the randomization of answer order in the game settings. Follow these steps to modify the settings:
This setting allows you to control whether the answers appear in a set order or in a random order for each question. Please ensure that the game settings are saved so that they apply to the next time you host.
