How to Easily Create a Quiz on Zoom

How to Easily Create a Quiz on Zoom

April 18, 2022 by Judy Sanhz Leave a Comment

You and your Zoom participants went over some important information. Now, it’s time to see what they can remember. That’s where the Zoom quizzes come in. You can create a quiz with correct and incorrect answers.

How to Quickly Create a Quiz on Zoom

Remember that you’ll already need to have a meeting pending to create a quiz for it. If you don’t, create your meeting and then create your quiz. To create your Zoom quiz, you’ll need to sign in to the Zoom web portal. Once you’re in, click on the Meetings tab on the left, and the Polls and Quizzes option will be to the left of the Meeting Templates. It’ll also be marked as New for an easy find.

 

Polls and quizzes Zoom

Click on the Advanced Polls and Quizzing option in Green. A new window will appear where you’ll need to start adding your questions. Type them in and then set how the options will be displayed. For example, click on the drop-down menu to the side that says Single Choice. You can choose from options such as:

  • Single choice – You can enter up to 10 choices.
  • Multiple choice
  • Matching
  • Rank order
  • Short Answer
  • Long Answer

If you choose one of the last two, you will need to grade them manually. You can set a correct answer with the other options to create the quiz. The Zoom polls also let you decide if the participants answer anonymously or not. Click on the dots at the bottom right to find these options.

Once you are done adding the questions you need, you can click Save to finish up. The next time you click on the Polls/quizzes tab, you’ll find your newly created quiz or poll. If you want to make any changes, click on the pencil icon. By clicking on the dots, you can choose to delete the quiz or poll or duplicate it.
