Kaltura My Media – Kaltura Quiz Overview

Kaltura’s video quiz lets you add interactive questions directly into your videos to increase engagement and assess understanding.

How a video quiz works

A video quiz lets you add multiple-choice, true/false, or open-ended questions to a video. Questions appear at specific points during playback, pausing the video so viewers can respond before continuing.

You can control:

• Whether viewers can skip questions or replay sections
• If hints or correct answers are shown
• Whether users can retake the quiz

This interactivity helps measure comprehension, boost engagement, and collect data on viewing and learning effectiveness.

Add interactivity to videos

By embedding questions directly into a video, Kaltura Video Quiz turns passive watching into active participation.

You can:

• Check understanding as the video plays
• Identify which concepts may need review
• Measure the impact and effectiveness of your video content

You can also add quiz questions to YouTube entries uploaded through Kaltura. However, cue points, slides, and chapters aren’t available for YouTube-based quizzes.

Some Considerations

• A video can’t include both a quiz and hotspots at the same time.
• The default session expiration for long videos is four hours (14,400 seconds). For videos longer than two hours, the session duration equals the video length multiplied by two.
• Quizzes automatically sync grades to the Learning Hub’s gradebook once submitted.
• If a quiz is left open for several hours or days, the browser session may expire and grades may not sync. Advise students to complete their quiz in one sitting and avoid switching browsers or devices while taking it.
• Quizzes that haven’t been submitted in a course can still be edited. You can use Save (Trim) or Save a Copy (Clip). For quizzes that have already been submitted, only Save a Copy (Clip) is available.
