Turn a YouTube lecture into a practice quiz you can actually study from.
The YouTube Quiz Generator analyzes an educational YouTube video and creates a fixed 10-question quiz preview with multiple-choice questions, correct answers, explanations, and source citations. The goal is not to summarize the video passively. The goal is to help you check what you understood from a lecture, see exactly where each question came from, and decide whether the same source is worth saving as a Digestly study set with retakes, transcripts, exports, and coverage review.
What you get
- 10 fixed practice questions in the public tool
- Multiple-choice answers with the correct option marked after you respond
- Short explanations that connect the answer back to the lecture concept, not only the answer letter
- Timestamp citations that point back to the lecture moment behind each question
- A next step into a saved Digestly quiz when you want question counts, retakes, exports, source review, and coverage tools
From a lecture video to a short active-recall session.
A 38-minute economics lecture on supply, demand, market equilibrium, and price shifts.
Preview output
- 10 practice questions covering demand curves, supply shifts, equilibrium, shortages, and surpluses
- Answer explanations for why the correct choice fits the transcript and why a common distractor does not
- Timestamp prompts that tell the student where to rewatch confusing price-shift examples
- A score at the end of the quiz preview, plus a clear path to save and retake the source-based quiz
Use it to
- Take the quiz after watching the lecture instead of rereading notes immediately
- Use missed questions to decide which timestamped sections to rewatch
- Turn vocabulary-heavy topics such as elasticity, shortage, and surplus into flashcards
- Save future quizzes in Digestly when you want retakes, citations, exports, or coverage checks later
The public preview is enough to test the workflow with 10 fixed questions. A free Digestly account is for choosing how many questions to generate, changing output language, saving citations and transcripts, retaking quizzes, and exporting or sharing study material. Pro is for coverage workflows: seeing gaps, generating more questions from weak areas, and regenerating from the same coverage map.
Use the quiz as a recall check, not just another generated file.
A good video quiz should make you retrieve what you learned before you look back at the explanation. Treat the generated questions as a first active-recall pass after the lecture.
- 01
Answer before replaying the video
Try each question from memory first. If you check the transcript or rewatch before answering, the quiz becomes recognition practice instead of recall practice.
- 02
Read the explanation after each answer
Use the explanation to understand why the answer fits the lecture. If the explanation feels wrong or too broad, check the original timestamp.
- 03
Review missed concepts, not only missed questions
A wrong answer usually points to a concept gap. Write down the underlying topic, then revisit that part of the lecture or turn it into flashcards.
- 04
Retake later if the quiz matters
If the video is part of an exam topic, save future quizzes in Digestly so you can retake them after reviewing weak areas.
Try 10 questions first. Continue in Digestly when you want control, citations, and retakes.
The public tool is a no-login way to test whether the video produces useful quiz practice. Digestly free is for turning that same source into a saved, configurable study workflow. Pro is for students who want coverage, gap detection, and regeneration from the same source coverage.

The quiz is strongest when the source is clear and verifiable.
Digestly should be honest about what the public YouTube quiz can and cannot do. The public tool is useful for a quick 10-question check, while saved Digestly workflows give students more control over question count, citations, output language, retakes, and coverage.
- The public tool uses a fixed 10-question preview; sign in when you want to choose the number of questions.
- AI video understanding can help when transcript data is incomplete, but students should still verify important answers against the source.
- Generated questions are study practice, not official exam questions or graded assessments.
- Citations are meant to make verification easier, not to replace watching the lecture or checking course materials.
- Long, dense, noisy, or visually dependent videos can still produce weaker questions than clear educational lectures.
Choose Digestly when the source is the lecture itself.
Use Digestly when the lecture itself is the source you need to study. Digestly can generate source-specific questions with exact citations, configurable question counts, structured transcripts with timestamps, retakes, exports, and Pro coverage tools that show gaps and help generate more questions from weak areas.
- Quizlet
Choose Quizlet if you mainly want shared decks, classroom games, or an existing public set instead of generating questions from a specific video.
- Anki
Choose Anki if you want maximum manual control over spaced repetition, card templates, and long-term review settings.
- NotebookLM
Choose NotebookLM if your main job is exploring sources in a research notebook rather than taking a quick quiz from one lecture video.
- A general chatbot
Use a general chatbot if you only want to paste a small transcript excerpt and ask for a one-off question list without saving or studying from the source later.
