Hi!

I just wanted to say how much I miss the old Kahoot, when it was possible to include YouTube videos in quizzes. Unfortunately, Vimeo is simply not a good substitute.

I haven't used Kahoot or paid for a subscription since this feature was removed. It's such a shame, as the YouTube integration was one of the main reasons I chose Kahoot in the first place.

Without YouTube videos, the quizzes simply aren't as fun or engaging, and I've lost much of my motivation to create new ones.

I really hope you'll consider bringing this feature back so that quiz enthusiasts like myself can continue creating fun and entertaining quizzes! :-)

    Hello, thank you for contacting us regarding the changes related to YouTube videos in Kahoot!. To comply with YouTube’s updated terms and to keep an ad-free experience on Kahoot!, the ability for social users and business users to add or play YouTube videos within games has been removed. This change affects both free and paid plans, ensuring an ad-free environment for all platform users.

    We understand this may affect how you create, play or share your kahoots, and we appreciate your understanding. Fortunately, there are still plenty of ways to keep your kahoots engaging and visually dynamic:

    • Use Vimeo videos – Vimeo is fully supported and ad-free, making it easy to embed high-quality video content. 
    • Upload your own videos (available on Kahoot! 360 Spirit Premium) – Add your own training materials, internal presentations, or personalized content directly into your kahoots.  Learn more
    • Add images and GIFs – All users can upload custom images, browse curated collections from Getty Images and Unsplash, or use Giphy’s built-in GIF search to add fun and expressive visuals. Learn more
    • Try new question types (available on selected plans) – Enhance interactivity with formats like image reveal, pin answer, scale, and more. Learn more
    • Update existing kahoots – If you’re the creator of a kahoot that included YouTube videos, you can edit it and replace those videos using the options above. Learn more
       

    We’re committed to helping you keep your kahoots fun, effective, and ad-free. If you have any questions or need assistance updating your content, feel free to reach out - we’re here to help!
