How to create a quiz from a YouTube video
There is no built-in AI on this site. Instead, you get the transcript here and use any AI assistant as your quiz generator:
- Paste the YouTube video link above and press Get Free Transcript.
- Keep timestamps on if you want each question to point back to the moment it was taught.
- Press Copy, then open ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
- Paste one of the quiz prompts below, followed by the transcript, and send.
- Review the questions, delete any that are off-topic, and paste them into your quiz tool, LMS or document.
Multiple-choice questions, short answers and true/false
Because the AI works from the transcript, you can ask for any question style: multiple-choice questions (MCQs) with four options and one correct answer, true/false statements, short-answer questions, or fill-in-the-blank sentences. Ask for an answer key and an explanation for each answer, and for the timestamp where the answer is found.
Teachers can ask for questions at different difficulty levels, or in the format their LMS imports, such as a simple CSV with question, options and answer columns.
How to make flashcards from a YouTube video
Flashcards work the same way. Ask the AI for front-and-back pairs from the transcript. If you use Anki or Quizlet, ask for one card per line with the front and back separated by a tab or a semicolon; both apps can import text in that shape.
Keep flashcards atomic: one fact or definition per card. A good prompt tells the AI to avoid cards that need the video to make sense.
Who uses a YouTube to quiz generator
Students
Self-test after a lecture or tutorial. Answering questions is far better for memory than rereading notes.
Teachers and trainers
Assign a video, then check understanding with a quiz built from its exact content.
Creators
Write quiz-style community posts or a recap quiz for viewers based on your own video.
Adding a quiz to a YouTube video itself
If you are a creator and want viewers to answer questions on YouTube, that has to be done in YouTube Studio or with community posts, where those features are available to your channel. This page does not add anything to YouTube; it helps you write the questions from the transcript.
