Turn a YouTube video into Google Form questions with AI

Gemini can summarize a video, but a summary is not a quiz. DeckOwl builds graded questions from the transcript or notes you give it, so you can copy them straight into your form.

Why a summary is not enough for a graded quiz

A video summary tells you what the video covers, but it does not give students questions to answer. To make a Google Form quiz from a YouTube video, you need specific questions with one correct answer and plausible wrong choices, and that takes a source you can check.

Paste the transcript instead of only the link when you want questions tied to exact wording.
Check every answer against the video, since AI can misstate a detail or test something the video never covered.
Write distractors that match common misconceptions from the video so wrong answers teach something.
Use quiz mode in Google Forms to set answer keys, points, and feedback before you share the link.

Example questions for a Google Forms quiz from a video

In Google Forms, where do you switch on quiz mode so answers can be graded?Open the Settings tab and turn on the option to make this a quiz. Quiz mode is what enables answer keys and point values.

Why should you check AI-written questions against the video before sharing a quiz?AI can misstate a detail or ask about something the video never covered. Checking each question against the timestamp keeps the quiz accurate.

What makes a good wrong answer in a multiple-choice question?A plausible wrong answer that matches a common misconception. Students who pick it reveal a gap the video was meant to fill.

Should a quiz on a short video test every detail?No. Focus on the main claims, usually five to eight questions for a 10-minute video, so the quiz checks understanding rather than memory of every line.

What is the advantage of pasting a transcript instead of only the video link?A transcript gives you the exact wording, so questions and answers can be checked line by line. A link alone may give a summary that is less precise.

Generate the full set

Built from your transcript

Paste a video transcript or your own notes as plain text, or upload them as a file. Every question comes from the material you provided.

Multiple choice, true/false, and open questions

Choose the question type that fits the concept. Each question includes an explanation you can keep as feedback for students.

Review and edit the questions, then paste them into a Google Form and turn on quiz mode to set answer keys and points.

How it works

Get the transcript

Open the YouTube video, copy the transcript from the description area, and save it as a plain text file or paste it into a document.

Generate and check the questions

Upload the text to DeckOwl and pick a question type. Check each question against the timestamp in the video before you use it.

Build the form

Paste the questions into a new Google Form, switch on quiz mode in Settings, and add the correct answers and points.

Start with the transcript or your notes, since they hold the exact claims the quiz should test. DeckOwl produces multiple-choice, true/false, and open questions with explanations, and you can edit any question before it goes into your form.

Keep the quiz short enough to match the video. Five to eight questions that cover the main ideas usually work better than a long set that repeats the same point.
