Welcome back to the channel, everyone. Today,
we're going to show you how to engage your audience using a live quiz
with an application called Kahoot!. Kahoot!
is a game-based learning platform used as educational
technology in schools and other educational institutions. With Kahoot!,
what we can do is create quizzes for our live stream,
where our viewers can go in and work through the quiz while we're streaming
live.
We can use this as an educational value benefit for our viewers or something
fun and interesting to change things up on our stream. Today,
what I'm going to do is show you how to set up a quiz within Kahoot!
and stream that with your StreamYard application.

With that being said, we're going to jump right into this video.
You can head over to Kahoot.com or you can grab that link from the description
below. Once you're logged into your Kahoot!, this is what it will look like.
This is sort of your Kahoot! dashboard, so to speak.
What we're going to do is go up to the top-right here and click the create
button. This will open a, create a new Kahoot! window.
What you can do here is select a template from the template options here or
you can just create a new Kahoot! from scratch, which is what we're going to do.
For this video,
we're just going to create a few simple questions just to get you
familiarized with Kahoot!. So on this first question,
I'm going to ask what is two plus two and down
below, I'll go ahead and add a series of answers.
And the last one will be four. After I have all the answers down here,
we have to select which one of these answers is the correct one.
If I'm not mistaken, two plus two is four,
so I'm going to select the four as the correct answer.
You can take it a step further and add some media to go along with this
question. It just spices it up a little bit.
It makes it a little more interesting. If you have more questions to ask,
what you can do is add another question on the left.
You can select from a series of different questions here. For instance,
we can make a true and false question if we wanted to.
I'm going to create another quiz question and for this one,
what we'll do is ask what is four
plus four and same thing, guys, we're going to add some answers down here.
We'll put nine, we'll put 10, we'll put seven,
and then we'll put eight. After we've selected eight as the correct answer,
we can go ahead and click done at the top-right. Before that,
I do want to mention, you can change the settings over here on the right,
such as the time limit.
You can adjust the timeline from five all way up to four minutes,
the amount of points per question, and the answer options.
After you've adjusted all the settings, we can go ahead and click done.
After you've clicked done, it'll ask you a title for the Kahoot!.
I will just put StreamYard, and then you can put a description as well,
which is optional. We'll go ahead and click continue. After you're done,
you can either go straight to playing this Kahoot! or click done.
Now we want to go over to StreamYard and make sure we have this setup correctly
within the StreamYard application. To set this up with StreamYard,
we're going to open a new tab and go over to Streamyard.com.
I've already created a broadcast for Kahoot!,
so I'm going to go ahead and enter that studio. Before I enter the studio,
I want to make sure I have my camera and mic settings set up correctly.
So make sure you take a moment before entering the studio to verify that all
your settings are set up correctly,
give yourself a display name and go ahead and enter the studio.
Now I'm in my StreamYard studio.
Next we need to set it up so we can have our display capture
captured within the StreamYard app, which means we can capture that Kahoot!
quiz game during our live stream.
So what we'll do here is click the share button.
We'll go to share screen and we'll click share screen.
What you can do is select your entire screen.
You can select an application window or a Chrome tab.
What we're going to do is the Chrome tab, Kahoot!. It makes things a lot easier.
If you're not using Chrome, I suggest you just select your entire screen,
it would probably run better than selecting an application window.
So we're going to go ahead and click that. Once you do that,
it'll pop up in your stream here and we're actually ready to go ahead and
start our quiz.
The next thing you can do is go ahead and just adjust how you want it being
displayed on your stream. You know,
you can select a variety of different options within StreamYard,
which is what makes StreamYard so versatile
and so cool to use. I'm going to go ahead and just keep it on this one,
where I have a tiny little webcam here and the Kahoot! screen.
So what we're going to do is go over to the Kahoot! tab.
We're going to select the quiz we just created,
and we're going to go ahead and play. What we're doing is presenting,
so we're going to present this quiz here and we're going to go ahead and
select the classic mode. Sweet.
Now that we have this up, we're ready to get our viewers into the Kahoot!
game so to speak, so that they can play as well.
They can join at Kahoot!
using the game pin that is generated here or from the
application of the Kahoot! app. But before we do that,
we want to make sure that we go over to our StreamYard app. As you can see here,
it is not streaming the quiz tab that we have open it's streaming the other
Kahoot! tab. So what we need to do here is go ahead and remove that,
click share again, go to share screen,
and we want to make sure we're selecting the correct tab.
It looks like I selected the wrong tab once again,
so we're going to do this one more time here.
Awesome. So now that we have the correct tab open,
you can go ahead and have your viewers open up their phones or whatever.
We're going to do this from our own phone.
I'm just going to go to Kahoot.it on my web browser. On my phone.
I have the Kahoot! Web browser open. I'm going to put the game pin in here.
Once I put the pin in it, it will go ahead and load.
It will have me select a nickname, so I'll spin for a nickname.
I am the golden alpaca, and I'm going to go ahead and join.
Now if we go back to show our Kahoot! Screen,
you'll notice that the golden alpaca has joined in for this Kahoot!,
From the Kahoot! page. I'm going to go ahead and click start
and we're starting this quiz, except for I'm the only one that's in the quiz.
On my screen here, what you'll notice is I have the questions available for me.
I'm going to select my answer,
which is four and it will go ahead and complete that and move on to the
next question. The next question is what is four plus four,
going to select the correct answer, and there it is.
I have one answer for the eight option.
We're going to go over back to the Kahoot! tab. We'll click next,
it'll create a podium.
It will kind of show you who won this challenge based on the number
of entries that were there for this specific quiz.
It sounds like that audio is coming through on my monitor, and I apologize.
Anyways, guys, that's how you set up your Kahoot!
and that's kind of how you run it with your StreamYard application.
