How to play Kahoot! live in your team meeting on Zoom
- Before you start your meeting, log in to your Kahoot! account and open a kahoot you’d like to host
- Log in to Zoom app, click New meeting and select Start with video to start a new meeting instantly, or start a scheduled meeting as a host
- Once your meeting has started and participants have all joined it, click Play and Host live to launch the kahoot in your web browser so the lobby is showing with the game PIN
- Click the Share button in the Zoom toolbar. Choose to share your browser window with Kahoot! in it. To share computer audio with Kahoot! music during screen sharing, click on Share Computer Sound
- When participants see the game PIN on your shared screen, they use a second device to use this PIN and join the game
- Host the kahoot as usual while your screen is shared. We recommend choosing Side-by-side Mode so you can see participants next to your shared screen
