Show an explanation after each question

Add text, a picture or a short YouTube clip to a question, and show it on the big screen after the answer.

Updated October 16th, 2026

In Classroom Mode, an explanation appears on the projector after you reveal the answer. Add it to a question on the projector computer before you start the quiz.

  1. 1

    Open the explanation editor

    Once your questions are added, click the row that says how many questions are ready. Next to a question, click Add explanation. If you write a question yourself, you can also add one under Explanation shown after the reveal (optional).

  2. 2

    Choose a layout

    Under Layout, pick One to fill the screen with one thing, Two columns to put two things side by side, or Two rows to put one above the other.

  3. 3

    Fill each part

    For each part, choose what to Show: Text, Image or Video. Type the text you’ll read aloud, or click Choose image… to add a picture.

  4. 4

    Add a YouTube clip

    Paste a link under YouTube link. Once Quizzy recognizes the link, Start (seconds) and End (seconds) appear, so you can play only the part you need. Each explanation can have one video.

  5. 5

    Check the preview

    On the big screen shows the explanation as the class will see it. If the text is too long for one screen, the preview says so. When it looks right, click Save explanation.

  6. 6

    Show it in the lesson

    After the answer is revealed, tap Show explanation on your phone. On the projector computer’s keyboard, Space does the same, and then scrolls text that runs past one screen.

Videos play from YouTube on the classroom screen. If YouTube is blocked on your school network, the video won’t load, so try one on the projector computer before the lesson.
