PLease add the feature to turn Music off - immediately ! It's annoying and I find that I have to manually y mute the tab on my browser rather than it being intrinsically a Kahoot option!

Hi there! It's now possible to mute or adjust volume of music/sound during a live kahoot. The options can be found in the top-right of the screen while hosting. You can learn more about this here.
Why would you not fix this for your users? CUSTOMERS have been raising this for a long time. Just a toggle switch. On off - a few lines of code.
Kahoot team, you have Tin ears!
turn off the music! I teach in between questions and remotely it has been a huge hassle.
Please make a toggle to turn off the music. It is so irritating. I need to teach between questions, so I have to turn the sound on and off all the time.
I agree with these comments. I would love to use Kahoot with a Zoom class lesson but it makes it cumbersome when you can't keep the tab open for the game as the music keeps playing. If I mute my mic, then I can't talk with my students. This would be a big help!
Yes, please have a feature to turn the music off.
Add my voice to this the music is awful allows no feedback discussion with the students. Please fix this.
Yes, please!! Off used to be an option. I do not know why it is not now. It is fine in the classroom when I can mute my computer, but if I mute it during remote lessons, I can't hear my students' questions or comments.
OMG, how annoying is the music, take 10 minutes to add code to be able to turn it off, PLEASE!!!!!!
Please turn off the background music. It is so distracting!! Thank you!!
Can the music be turned off while students are answering questions? I just used Kahoot during a zoom class. I was unable to talk to the students while the count down clock was playing. The music was so loud my voice could not come thru. In person, I simple mute my speakers but I cant do that with zoom. HELP????
All my trainings are on zoom right now. If I can not mute the music during game play I wont be able to use kahoot. Please fix it and add the toggle. Quickly.
Windows has the ability to turn off the sound for any app loaded. I access Kahoot through Google and use
Windows Settings->System->Sound->App volume and device preferences
to mute Google. I run Zoom from a different browser so the meeting sound comes through fine and I'm not trying to yell over Kahoot.

Agreed! Music needs to be turned off as I include videos in my questions and therefore can't turn the sound off via the browser as others have suggested.
Yes, please. I want to turn off the sound!
Use Chrome and you can mute the tab, right click on the tab and choose 'mute site'
I think that's only for beginning not during game playing.
PLEASE LISTEN to these requests. I am working with adult students who are trying to learn very basic English, and the sound just confuses and distracts them. They need to be able to concentrate. I also use videos, so turning off the sound is not an option. I just paid for a pro account, but am getting so frustrated I may cancel it and go back to other ways of quizzing students.
Please make an ability to mute all music and sounds. Because I have to deal with ZOOM meetings and kahoot at the same time, so I can't hear everyone else because of the music, I have to MANUALLY mute the site do get the music to stop.
Please Fix This.
OH MY GOSH how is this still not a feature!! The music is incredibly distracting to begin with, but now with elearning it makes the site almost unusable. The music is loud, intrusive, and interferes with instruction. I'm shocked that now, of all times, Kahoot hasn't provided a feature to turn off the music. There are like 20 music options but no way to turn it off? Makes zero sense. It can't be that difficult to add a mute option. This is so frustrating- educators are already stressed enough managing elearning. Please help us out with this simple feature.
I agree with all of the above comments. Students can not hear my voice through the (too!) LOUD countdown music. They are learning to read better and need to hear me read the questions and answers. PLEASE, PLEASE add the option to mute! Thank you very much
Kahoot
Just listen what the users are asking - ability to turn the countdown music on or off.
How hard is that - unless your coding personnel had some one else write it.
PLEASE create a button to have music as an option. My students can't hear me read the questions.
And now my message to the Kahoot developers:
Sadly I will always mute the Kahoot site for all my Zoom remote classes - until you give me an internal volume control that allows me to adjust the volume down to a low level so that my students and I can once again enjoy it in the background during our Kahoots in Zoom!

@cmaclean20. Yes, exactly. It's not just about off or on! I would like to have the music but at a much lower level! Also, if I use videos in the kahoots, turning off by browser means they can't hear the videos. So that doesn't work. Plus, I like using other browsers, particularly BRAVE, which is much more transparent and less commercial browser. It's amazing to me that this issue hasn't been addressed. the other issue is not having the questions on the same screen so that users with only one device can do this remotely with ease. I have low-tech adult students on small smartphones, and going back and forth between the conferencing tool and a kahoot player screen is too much, too frustrating, and not worth it. Split screen does not work on a phone. Oh, and by the way, many people who have students with vision issues have also asked for this. Not having these options weights Kahoot as an app that creates a digital divide.
I'm a new user of Kahoot. We're using it for team building and socialisation at work. One of the objectives is for us all to get to know one another by chatting - THE MUSIC TOTALLY DEFEATS THIS. It's horrible. PLEASE ADD A TURN MUSIC OFF BUTTON ASAP.
While teaching remotely, when we play Kahoots, I cannot hear my students and my students cannot hear each other. Please, allow us to control the volume of the Kahoot itself while playing. My only other option is my computer volume but that also makes it impossible to hear my students.
I already made a request about the mute button (and am seeing more requests pop up daily!), but I also want to point out that muting the tab does NOT turn off the music during the game. I need to read the questions to my students as most are delayed readers, so I have to warn them that I'll be shouting over the music. They all ask me to turn the music off and I have to tell them I can't. It's very frustrating and I don't understand Kahoot's resistance to add the option to turn off the music. It's so unpleasant to begin with, and now with e-learning an off button is more essential than ever. I also tried choosing a different type of music that is less obnoxious- but every option is equally unpleasant. While I was planning to purchase of a pro account for next school year, if I can't turn off the music its not worth spending the money.
I agree with everyone above. Please make a feature to turn music off. By the time I turn off browser music, it has covered the question and many miss it. This is causing such an issue I may not be able to play with kiddos anymore and right now this is one thing they are truly enjoying!
TURN OFF THE MUSIC!!! Like so many others here, I am teaching now via Webex online. When we go to play a Kahoot, my students cannot hear me or each other because your music blasts all the audio out. And since all my students are special need, it is DOUBLY IMPORTANT that they can hear me and each other. Many times I need to teach/review the question with them, but the ####ing music makes that impossible!!!!!
I paid for the upgrade which has some nice features. But won't in the future unless you add this simple function.
GRRRRRRR!
