About
You can create interactive quizzes based on existing media in Kaltura. Video quizzes help engage viewers and measure understanding while watching content.
You can create a quiz from the Video Portal, your LMS video integration, or directly from the Kaltura Management Console (KMC).
- Make sure the Editor module and Quiz module are enable as well as the Theming module with the 'quizcreation' feature turned on.
- If you don't have Theming enabled on your site, please refer to our article Set up a video quiz.

Configure quiz settings
Quiz settings are organized into three tabs: Details, Scores, and Experience.
Details tab
Use the Details tab to configure basic quiz information.
The following settings are available:
- Quiz Name - This is the name you originally gave to the media item. You can change it to any name you want.
- Welcome Message - A default message is ready for you to use but you can change it to anything you like. The message is shown on the first screen of the quiz. If you don't want a Welcome message, Just untick Show Welcome Page.
- Allow Download of Questions List - This allows quiz participants to download the list of questions before starting the quiz. See our article on Pre-test questions to learn more.
- Instructions - The following default instructions will be displayed: "All questions must be answered. The quiz will be submitted at the end."
Scores tab
Use the Scores tab to configure scoring options.
The following default values are displayed, and you have the option to change them:
Allow Multiple Attempts - You can select how many attempts a participant has to take the quiz (the minimum is two per quiz). You then choose which score to keep (highest attempt, lowest, latest, first, or average of all attempts).
The enableQuestionsV3 setting in the Quiz module must be enabled for the Allow Multiple Attempts feature.
If the Welcome page is enabled in the Details tab, the number of allowed attempts displays on that page.
After submitting the quiz, participants see the Submitted page, which displays the final score.
If participants choose Retake, they cannot view their previous answers.
Score visibility
You can choose how quiz results are displayed to participants:
- Do Not Show Scores - A 'Thank you' message will display after submitting the quiz, and no scores will be presented to the viewer.
- Show Scores - Participants will see the quiz score page after the quiz has been submitted.
- Include Answers - Participants will be able to see correct/incorrect answers, as well as the correct answer’s rationale if you chose to add it during the quiz creation. Please see Adding hints and whys to read more about this option.
If you change your mind, you can click Revert to defaults at any time.
Experience tab
Use the Experience tab to configure how participants interact with the quiz.
The following default values are displayed, and you have the option to change them:
- Allow Answers Change - Allows your participants to change an answer before submitting the entire quiz during review mode.
- Allow Skip - This enables a "Skip for Now" button which allows your participants to skip a question and go back to it later.
- Do not Allow Skip - Participants must submit an answer before proceeding forward.
- No seeking forward - Participants won't be able to use the seek bar to navigate the video past the point they viewed.
Click Revert to defaults to restore the default experience settings.
