What a quizizz join code does, and what to use instead

A quizizz join code is the short code a host shares so players can enter one live game session. DeckOwl does not create or host those codes, and it cannot join games on other platforms.

  • Upload notes, slides, PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, or a photo of a page.
  • Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions.
  • Read an explanation for every answer, including the ones you missed.
  • Export to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro.

What should you check first if a join code is rejected?Check for typos, such as the letter O versus the number 0, and confirm the session is still open.

The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and browser study. Plus is $39/year or $7.99/month and adds unlimited generations and exports. Students get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start.

Frequently asked questions

What should I do if a join code is rejected?

Check for typos such as O versus 0, and confirm the host's session is still open. If it still fails, ask the host for the current code, since a new session usually gets a new one.

How can I study for a live quiz if I don't have the code?

Review the same topics on your own by reading your notes and answering practice questions without looking at them. Go back over every miss until you can explain the correct answer.

Does DeckOwl export quizzes?

Yes. Plus exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.

Can I try DeckOwl without a credit card?

Yes. The free plan gives 3 generations per month with study in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start.
