Free YouTube quiz generator
YouTube quiz generator for self testing
Paste a YouTube link and get 5 multiple choice questions that check whether you understood the video, each with 4 options and a one sentence explanation. Flashcards, notes and a chapter timeline come with it.
In short
VideoNote is a YouTube quiz generator for learners. Paste a public video link and it builds a 5 question multiple choice quiz from the video's transcript, with 4 options per question and a one sentence explanation for each answer. The same run also makes 6 to 10 timestamped flashcards, study notes and a chapter timeline.
Free use covers 2 videos a day without an account, or 5 a day when you sign in with Google, for videos up to 30 minutes. It works with YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook and over a thousand other video sites, public videos only. Pro passes start at ₹79 for 7 days.
How it works
Make a quiz from a YouTube video in three steps
01
Paste a public video link
Copy the link from YouTube's Share button or the address bar and paste it above. You land on VideoNote with the link filled in; press Make notes to start.
02
Questions from the whole video
VideoNote gets the transcript from the captions or the audio, then writes 5 multiple choice questions spread from start to end, each with 4 options.
03
Take the quiz
Open the Study tab, pick an answer for each question and read its one sentence explanation. You see your score once every question is answered.
What you get
What else the YouTube quiz generator gives you
The quiz arrives together with 6 to 10 flashcards, study notes with a chapter timeline, the timestamped transcript and an Ask chat. When a question trips you up, find its topic in the timeline or ask about it, and the answer points to the moment in the video.
Inside the quiz
Questions about understanding, not trivia
A quiz that only asks you to recall a number from minute three does not tell you much. VideoNote asks the model for something harder: questions that test whether you understood the video, spread across it from start to end. Every question is drawn from the transcript, and the explanation tells you why the right option is right, so a wrong answer still teaches you something.
The quiz is written in the same language as the transcript. Here is the shape of a question, shown as an illustration rather than real output:
2. Why does the lecturer cover the light reactions before the Calvin cycle?
A. They make the ATP and NADPH that the Calvin cycle uses
B. They release the carbon dioxide that the cycle fixes
C. They only happen at night
D. They produce glucose directlyExplanation: the Calvin cycle runs on the ATP and NADPH made in the light reactions, so the lecture explains them first.
Study tips
How to get the most from a video quiz
Take it right after watching
Answer the 5 questions before you reread the notes. Recalling an answer from memory shows what actually stuck, while rereading only shows what feels familiar.
Or skim it before you watch
For a long lecture, read the questions first so you know what to listen for. Later, press the Quiz button again to clear your answers and take it for real.
Turn a wrong answer into a question
Read the explanation, then ask about that point in the Ask tab. The answer cites the moment in the video, so you can rewatch just that part instead of the whole thing.
Finish with the flashcards
The flashcards cover more ground than 5 questions. Flip through them the next day, and use the timestamp on any card you miss to jump back to the source.
Transcripts
Works with auto captions, or no captions at all
A quiz is only as good as the transcript under it. For YouTube, VideoNote first tries any caption track on the video, whether the creator uploaded it or YouTube generated it automatically. That is quick and does not use any of your audio transcription minutes.
When a YouTube video has no captions VideoNote can fetch, or the link is from Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook or another site, VideoNote downloads the audio, transcribes it with Whisper large v3 turbo and deletes the audio straight after. Audio transcription is metered separately: 10 minutes a day without an account, 20 minutes a day signed in, and from 36 minutes to 30 hours on a Pro pass, depending on its length.
Honest limits
What it does not do
One fixed format
You get 5 multiple choice questions per video. There is no setting for more questions, a difficulty level, true or false, or short answer questions. Your answers and score are not saved.
No sharing or LMS export
There is no share link and no export to Google Forms or a learning platform. The Markdown export includes the notes and flashcards but not the quiz.
No timestamps on quiz questions
Flashcards point to the moment in the video; quiz questions do not. Use the Ask tab or the transcript search to find where a topic is covered.
Public, single videos only
Private and login only videos do not work, and neither do playlists or live streams. YouTube and Instagram often block cloud servers, so even a public video from them can fail.

Questions
YouTube quiz generator FAQ
How do I create a quiz from a YouTube video?
Copy the video link from YouTube's Share button or the address bar, paste it into the box on this page and press Make notes. On the next screen the link is already filled in, so press Make notes again. VideoNote builds the transcript, then the notes, flashcards and quiz. Open the Study tab and choose Quiz.
Is the YouTube quiz generator free?
Yes, within daily limits. Without an account you get 2 videos a day, and signing in free with Google gives you 5. Each video comes with its quiz, flashcards and notes, for videos up to 30 minutes. Limits reset at midnight India time, and free use can pause on days when VideoNote reaches its daily capacity. Pro passes start at ₹79 for 7 days.
How many questions does it make?
A set of 5 multiple choice questions per video, each with 4 options, one correct answer and a one sentence explanation. You cannot change the number of questions or pick a difficulty today. For more practice, use the 6 to 10 flashcards made from the same video.
Does it work with auto generated captions?
Yes. For YouTube, VideoNote first tries any caption track on the video, whether the creator uploaded it or YouTube generated it automatically, and builds the quiz from that transcript. Auto captions can mishear names and technical terms, so check any answer that surprises you against the transcript.
What if the video has no transcript?
VideoNote downloads the audio, transcribes it with Whisper large v3 turbo and deletes the audio straight after. This uses audio transcription minutes: 10 minutes a day without an account and 20 minutes signed in. A video with little or no speech gives the quiz very little to work with.
Can teachers share the quiz with students?
Not directly. VideoNote is built for self testing: there is no share link, no export to Google Forms or a learning platform, and the quiz is not part of the Markdown export. A teacher can send the video link so each student makes a quiz, but the questions are generated fresh each time, so two students may not get the same set.
