Even though Podia offers a built-in quiz tool, you might want to embed quizzes from external platforms to supercharge your customers' learning experience.
In this article, we'll explore how to embed external quizzes into your online courses, site pages, blog & more!
Introduction
Quizzes can be embedded in every place where Podia's rich-text editor is supported. This includes your site, content area of products, community, and blog.
This allows you to add quizzes to different areas of your Podia account where you see fit!
Genial.ly and Quizlet are some recommended platforms, and they allow you to create interactive quizzes, add images, sounds & much more!
Want to use a different platform and are curious if your platform would embed on Podia? Follow the steps described here.
Embedding externally hosted quizzes
Here's how to embed externally hosted quizzes on Podia!
Create the quiz you want to embed on Podia on the platform of your preference.
After creating your quiz, copy the share link from the quiz you just made and head back to Podia.
Please make sure you're copying the quiz share link and not its embed code.
Embedded codes won't work on Podia.
Navigate to where you want to add your form to. It can be a course lesson, a blog post, or even one of your site pages.
You'll be able to add a form to any place that supports our rich-text editor.
Type

Paste the link to the quiz you copied from the external platform you want to embed on Podia and hit Insert.
And that's it! You'll see the quiz added to your lesson/site/blog posts.
