I assumed I'd be able to see the names of players once the game had finished. This is something that should definitely be addressed. This basic feature isn't something one should only be able to access with a premium account. I may stop using all-together if this change isn't made.
Worst case, can't you atleast have student's email address show up on the report, if you don't have a place for their real name?
****Also, why not have a log in that looks like this:
Real Name:
Nick Name:
The real name is hidden to everyone, but it shows up on the reports instead or in addition to the nickname.*****
PLEASE NOTIFY ME WHEN THIS FIX HAS BEEN MADE SO THAT I CAN LET TEACHERS KNOW TO START USING KAHOOT.
Frustrated by lack of support,

Hi there! We now have a Player Identifier feature that allows you to do this. For teachers, please ask your school or district tech administrator to contact us to discuss EDU options to enable this.
I agree with comments above!
Not having students real names show up on the final report makes it a waste of time for me. I don't know who exactly needs help on what. This is a real disadvantage for E-Learning. Great they have fun practicing but I can't help anyone!
If I only get nicknames,the reports will be pretty meaningless. Have asked my students to enter their proper names when completing a student challenge, but surely this is something Kahoot are looking at?
With only nicknames, this is pretty useless really. Will probably stop using the system if this doesnt get sorted and I will be telling people within my company to use a different platform for the moment. This achieves nothing unless i can do it live.
Can nicknames be identified if the pro or premium packages are purchased? Nicknames are pointless for distance learning where you cannot verify the player.
I thought I was the only one! My students picked up on this and cheated massively as we are teaching remotely. I need to know their names, if not I will not be using Kahoot and will not recommend it to my colleagues.
