Turn your webinar outline, learning objectives, or speaker notes into a focused webinar quiz. Choose when attendees answer, what a passing result means, and whether each response should reveal feedback immediately or wait until the end.
Send webinar quiz results to Google Sheets, Slack, and Zapier.

Engagement with a purpose
Attendance and chat activity do not show whether the central lesson landed. A webinar quiz turns key ideas into observable answers while the material is still fresh.
Place a two-minute knowledge check after an important section. A concrete question gives attendees a reason to retrieve the idea instead of simply watching the next slide.
Review responses question by question. If many attendees choose the same distractor, the host knows which distinction needs another example or a follow-up resource.
Add an unscored confidence or follow-up question after the scored items. Route people toward the recording, office hours, product information, or another learning resource.
Four useful moments
The same content needs different pacing before, during, and after a session. Start with the moment you want to improve, then tune length and feedback.
Ask three unscored questions before teaching starts to learn what the audience already knows and which examples deserve more time.
Use one concept question immediately after a dense section, then discuss the answer while everyone still shares the same context.
Measure the webinar's stated objectives with a concise scored quiz and clear explanations that reinforce the correct reasoning.
Email a fuller quiz with the recording, collect attendee details, and use response patterns to choose useful follow-up material.
Build the quiz
A strong prompt supplies the lesson, the audience, and the decision each question should test. Makeform creates the structure, and you remain in control of every word and answer key.
Paste the learning objectives, outline, speaker notes, or a short factual summary. Identify essential takeaways and exclude topics the webinar did not actually cover.
Choose the number of questions, response types, difficulty, scoring, answer explanations, and desired completion time. Ask for plausible distractors rather than obvious wrong answers.
Check every key against the source, remove ambiguous wording, preview conditional paths, and complete the quiz on a phone before sharing it with attendees.
Open the quiz during the webinar or send its link afterward. Organize scores and follow-up choices in your response workflow for the host or learning team.
Choose a quiz pattern
Each format answers a different question. Do not make one long form serve every purpose when a focused interaction will produce clearer responses.
Field guide
Use these six building blocks to make the quiz fair, quick to complete, and useful after results arrive.
Source and objectives
List the few ideas attendees should remember or apply. Questions should sample those objectives rather than reward outside knowledge or tiny details from a crowded slide.
Question mix
Single-answer questions work for distinctions and decisions. Select-all questions test a set of conditions, while short scenarios show whether attendees can apply a process.
Answers and distractors
A distractor should represent a believable misconception, not a joke or grammatical giveaway. Confirm that one answer is clearly best unless the question explicitly asks attendees to select several.
Feedback
A short explanation turns a missed question into a learning moment. State the relevant principle and, when useful, point attendees back to the matching section of the webinar or resource.
Scoring
A score can support self-checking, a friendly challenge, or follow-up routing. Decide whether all questions carry equal weight and explain any pass threshold in plain language.
Delivery and follow-up
Tell attendees when to open the link, how long the quiz takes, and when results appear. Ask for contact details only when the follow-up workflow genuinely needs them.

Practical answers for hosts, speakers, marketers, and learning teams building a comprehension check.
A webinar quiz is a set of questions tied to the content of a live or recorded online session. Hosts use it to prompt participation, check comprehension, reinforce important ideas, or identify topics that need follow-up. Unlike a feedback survey, a quiz can have correct answers, scores, and answer explanations.
For a live interruption, one to five questions is usually easier to fit into the agenda. A post-session assessment can be longer when each item maps to a stated objective. Estimate completion time, remove repeated questions, and prioritize the ideas attendees should be able to recall or apply.
Yes. Describe or paste the relevant objectives, outline, and factual takeaways into your prompt. State the audience, desired difficulty, question count, and response formats. After generation, verify each question and answer against your source because speaker notes may contain nuance that a short prompt does not capture.
Immediate feedback works well for a live knowledge check because the host can explain the answer before moving on. For a final assessment or friendly competition, you may prefer to reveal results after submission. Whichever approach you choose, include a concise explanation so the quiz also reinforces the lesson.
Yes. Mark correct choices, assign points, and present a result based on the submitted answers. Use a threshold only when it serves a clear learning or routing purpose, explain it before attendees begin, and keep preference or feedback questions outside the score.
A quiz checks knowledge with answers that can be marked correct or incorrect. A poll collects opinions, predictions, or preferences without a correct response. You can combine both patterns: score the comprehension items, then add an unscored confidence rating or resource preference at the end.
Yes. Makeform offers unlimited free forms and responses, so you can generate, edit, publish, and collect webinar quiz submissions without an artificial response cap. The paid tier is for removing the Makeform badge.
Confirm that every scored item was covered in the webinar, each answer key is correct, and distractors are plausible but unambiguous. Preview the quiz on desktop and mobile, test branching and result messages, submit a rehearsal response, and make sure the host knows exactly when and where to share the link.
Turn attention into active recall.
