Add a Quiz to a Panopto Video

This page explores how to add quiz questions within a Panopto video. In Panopto you have the ability to add quizzes with questions to any Panopto video at any point during the video. A quiz can contain as many questions as you desire, and you can insert as many quizzes as you want within the timeline of your video.

Create a Quiz

Step 1

Open your video within the Panopto editor by selecting the Edit button within the thumbnail of your video.

Step 2

Select the timeline to navigate to the timestamp or place in the video where you would like to insert a quiz. The red vertical line will indicate where the quiz will be added in the video.

Step 3

In the left navigation menu, select Quizzes, and then select Add a Quiz.

Step 4

A quiz window will appear in your secondary stream window where you can fill in the details of your quiz. The top option is the name or title of your quiz. It is recommended if you will have multiple quizzes in your video to give them a unique name so you can easily distinguish the quizzes when viewing the results or when needing to edit.

Step 5

Within the form, you can select the drop-down menu in the top right to show different types of quiz questions. The quiz options include True/False, Multiple Choice, Multiple Select, and Fill In the Blank. The default choice is multiple choice.

Let's explore the individual question types.

Multiple Choice: Gives you the option to have several answers present, but only one answer can be chosen as correct. When the option is first chosen, there will only be two answer fields. Another answer field can be added by selecting the Add Answer... button. You need to have the correct answer selected before adding another question. To remove an answer you can select the delete (X) option next to any of the answers.

Fill In the Blank: Gives you the option to ask questions that require users to fill in answers to the question. The prompt will ask for the correct answer to be provided.  An underscore _ needs to be placed before and after the answer. For portions of the question where there are multiple possible answers for a blank space, insert a divider | between each potential answer. 

True/False: Gives you the option to ask a True or False question.

Multiple Select: Gives you the option to have several answers present and more than one can be selected as correct.

Step 6

Once you are done with a question and want to add another question, select the Add a Question button at the bottom of the form.

Step 7

If you need to navigate to a different question in your quiz, you can use the Back and Next buttons at the bottom of the form.

Step 8

Once you have added all of your questions, select the Done button at the bottom of the form.

Step 9

You will then be directed to the Options page for this quiz. On this page you can:

• Adjust the quiz position or timestamp.
• Allow viewers to retake the quiz.
• Show grade after taking this quiz. (If this is enabled, you can also allow review of correct answers and explanations)
  • Allow review of correct answers and explanations.
• Block advancing in the video until finished with the quiz.
• Delete questions by selecting the delete (X) option to the far right of the questions.
• Reorganize the questions by using the up or down arrows to the far right of the questions.

Step 10

Once you are finished, select the Finish button.

Step 11

The name of your quiz will now appear in the Quizzes pane as well as within the Contents section.

Step 12

Repeat these steps for each quiz you want to add to the video. When you are finished, select the Apply button at the top right of the Panopto editor to apply all changes. The video will then reprocess to include all edits.

During viewer playback, when it gets to the point where a quiz was inserted, the video will pause until the questions are answered.

View Quiz Results

Step 1
