How to make a quiz from a YouTube video

A video lecture is hard to quiz yourself on while it plays. If you need a free quiz maker for YouTube videos, start from the text of the video rather than its link.

  • Paste a transcript or your notes as plain text
  • Choose multiple-choice, true/false or open questions
  • Read the explanation after each answer to see why it is right or wrong
  • Start free with 3 generations a month and no credit card

How it works

Copy the transcript or notes

Many videos have a transcript in the description panel. Copy it, or type your own notes from the lecture.

Paste or upload them

Drop the text into DeckOwl. Add a PDF or slides if you have them for more coverage.

Choose a format and generate

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, then study the quiz in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should I make from one video?

Start with 10 to 15 questions per video so you cover the main events without memorizing filler. If the video is long, split the transcript into sections and quiz each one.

How do I study WWII events with a quiz?

Take the quiz once, then retry only the questions you missed after a day or two. Spacing the review out helps you remember dates and causes.

Can I export a free quiz?

The free plan lets you study in the browser, but exports are not included. PDF and DOCX export are on Plus, and QTI and Moodle XML export are on Pro.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students with a school email get 40 percent off paid plans.
