Kahoot summary (settings)

Go to kahoot creator (click “Edit” next to kahoot in “Kahoots” section or “Create”), click your kahoot’s title or the settings button at the top of the screen to access the Kahoot summary screen.

In this section you can manage:

• Title
• Description
• Cover image
• Save to
• Language
• Visibility
• Lobby video
• Lobby music

Title

A meaningful title that accurately describes what your kahoot is about will help other users find it in search results and understand if it’s relevant. A title can be up to 95 characters.

Description

It is easier for other users to find your kahoot in 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 280 characters.

Cover image

Adding a cover image is a great 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

Save to

If you are an owner, admin, or member of a shared workspace (team subscription required), you can choose which personal or team folder the kahoot is saved in. You can also move a kahoot by changing where it’s saved.

Kahoots will have different visibility options based on where they're saved. Kahoots saved in your workspace can't be made public.

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.

Visibility

Kahoots have different visibility options based on where they're saved. Kahoots saved in your workspace can't be made public.

Possible visibility options (availability depends on your subscription type):

• Everyone
• Only you
• Team only
• Unlisted

Read this article to find out more about visibility settings.

If you're a student, you may be limited to making kahoots visible to only you.

Lobby video

Paste a YouTube video URL (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ig4_PhHmE2Y) into this field and the video will play full screen in the background while players 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.

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.
