From YouTube to Quiz

Paste the link to a recorded lesson, tutorial or talk and the AI uses the video's captions to write the questions. The result comes out as a Google Form in your account, with the answer key set and ready to run.

Where it works best

What matters is not the subject but whether the video has captions and whether the content is spoken. A demo video with almost no narration yields little.

Lessons and lectures

A recorded class, a university lecture, a seminar. The best case: dense content, spoken from beginning to end, and captions almost always available.

Example:

“A lecture on quantum physics”

→ 15 questions on the concepts presented

Tutorials and procedures

Step-by-step walkthroughs, technical demos, tool training. Yields good questions about the order of steps and the decisions — as long as the narrator says what they are doing rather than only showing it.

Example:

“How to configure advanced spreadsheet features”

→ 10 questions on the procedure

Idea talks

TED talks and concept presentations. Good for comprehension and interpretation questions; less suited when you need to assess a specific figure, because the format is argumentative.

Example:

“A talk about vulnerability”

→ 8 questions on the central ideas

Simple and Smart Process

Four steps between the link and a usable form. Total time depends on the length of the video and on your review.

1. Paste the link

The YouTube address, as you would copy it from the browser bar. Nothing to download and no access to the channel required.

2. The captions are read

The content comes from the captions — auto-generated or uploaded by the author. That is why a video with no captions does not work: there is no text to draw questions from.

3. The questions get written

The AI finds the checkable points in what was said and builds the questions, with the correct option marked. Ask for a number of questions and a level: it changes the result more than any other adjustment.

4. Export to Google Forms

The quiz goes to a form in your account, with quiz mode on. Responses land in the linked spreadsheet and objective questions are graded by Google Forms itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What people ask before their first video.

Does it work with any YouTube video?

Not any. The video needs captions — auto-generated or uploaded by the author — because that is where the content is extracted from. Educational videos, lessons, tutorials and talks almost always have them. A mostly visual video with little narration yields few questions even with captions.

What if the video has no captions?

Describe the main content in the conversation and ask for questions from your description. The result depends on how good your summary is, but for a lesson you gave yourself that is usually quick.

How long does it take to generate the quiz?

Seconds to a few minutes, depending on the length of the video. What dominates the total is not generation but your review of the answer key, which is mandatory.

Can I customise the generated questions?

You can. Ask for specific types, focus on a section, adjust difficulty or swap individual questions through the conversation. Adjusting happens inside the same conversation, with no charge per message; very long conversations use extra credits. And the final result is still editable in Google Forms.

Does the AI understand what is on screen?

No. What is read is the caption, that is, what was said. If an essential figure only appears written on a slide and is never spoken aloud, it will not make it into the questions. In that case, add it in the conversation.

Do I have to check the questions?

Yes, always the answer key. Auto-generated captions frequently mangle proper names, numbers and technical terms, and an error in the caption becomes an error in the question. With video this is the most important review of all the input types.

Does it work with a video in another language?

It works when captions exist in that language. You can ask for the test in whichever language you prefer, regardless of the video's language.

Which plan includes this?

Creating from a YouTube link is on the Advanced plan. On the free and intermediate plans, creation is from a text or voice description and PDF, DOCX and TXT files.
