Hosting live quizzes

Live quizzes are great for creating energy and excitement.

As the host, you can share the questions at your own pace, build suspense, and make people laugh with the odd joke.

The FlexiQuiz live option allows you to present an interactive quiz that your audience can play in real-time.

You can host with everyone in the same room, as part of hybrid learning, and using online tools such as Zoom, Microsoft teams, or Google meets.

Important! Live quizzes is a beta feature and available to a few customers. If you would like to be part of this test, please contact us.
