How To Make A Canva Quiz Video (And A Quicker Way For 2025)

Did you know that according to Mediafly’s analysis, interactive content generates 52.6% more engagement compared to static posts? That’s probably what those quiz videos on YouTube and TikTok do so well.

With a staggering 4.8 million monthly views, channels like Buzz Moyen are cashing in big, earning anywhere from $1,000 to $19,000 from ads alone.

Canva is packed with tools for interactive quizzes, forms, educational templates, and polls, perfect for classrooms and presentations. But creating scroll-stopping quiz videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts? That's a different game entirely.

We're talking countdown timers, dramatic answer reveals, and content that keeps viewers hooked till the very end.

Here’s an example of a video from a channel that uses AI-generated quiz shorts to consistently attract thousands of views.

While Canva provides the creative tools for this, the process might be more involved than you’d expect. Don’t worry, we’ll also introduce you to a game-changing alternative that could save you hours of work.

So if you’re a content creator looking to boost engagement, or a newbie that wants to learn the quickest way to monetize faceless YouTube content, or just someone that wants to leverage AI and automation to make a side income, this guide will show you both the traditional path and a revolutionary shortcut to creating compelling quiz videos that you can monetize.

Exploring Canva's Quiz Maker for Video-Based Quizzes

Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of creation, let’s explore what Canva brings to the quiz-making table.
Canva’s role in making these quiz videos can be understood as a place where you can design your interactive quiz with video intro and outro slides, background, and graphical elements for the timer and correct answer.

The Canva method of creating video quizzes involves the use of an app called Bulk Create that can be used to multiply the question and answer templates you design using the quiz content (usually generated through an LLMs like Chat GPT).

The Bulk Create app works in automating a chunk of the work required to make these videos but is only available on the Pro vision of Canva that you can access with a yearly subscription of US$120

The platform offers an impressive array of 24 video quiz templates, though it’s worth noting upfront that you’ll need to pay for Canva Pro to access some of these.

Think of these templates as your creative foundation. While they were originally designed with educational presentations in mind, savvy content creators have discovered their potential for social media content.

Step-by-Step: Creating a Quiz Video Using Canva

Creating a quiz video in Canva requires careful planning and attention to detail. Let's break down this comprehensive process into manageable chunks that will take you from concept to shareable content.

Step 1: Designing the Quiz Template

First things first – let’s create an attention-grabbing cover that’ll make scrollers stop scrolling:

• Open Canva and select your preferred quiz template.
• Choose dimensions based on your target platform (9:16 for most social platforms).
• Use Canva’s fonts, graphics, and colors to design your cover.
• You can leverage Canva presentation features to enhance the visual appeal of your quiz template.
• Add your branding elements if needed.

Step 2: Add Additional Elements to Your Quiz Template

Now for the meat of your video:

• Enhance the layout for questions and answers using Canva Elements.
• Navigate to Elements and add an animated timer (this builds suspense before the answer is revealed).
• Design a consistent style for question and answer slides.
• The types of elements you add can vary depending on the specific theme and content of your quiz.

Step 3: Highlighting Correct Answers

Time to add some pizzazz.

• Select a graphic element to indicate correct answers.
• Split the screen into two sections.

• Position your graphic in the second portion when the answer is revealed (you can remove the timer in the second portion of the slide when the answer is revealed).
• Add a smooth transition between splits.
• Your correct answer should now “pop” with style, providing immediate feedback after answering.

Step 4: Bulk Creating Questions and Answers

Here's where things get interesting (and a bit technical).

1.Generate your quiz content using ChatGPT

You can copy and paste this exact prompt for this step.

Prompt: Generate a list of 5 trivia questions about [Enter Quiz Topic]. Each question should be multiple-choice and include one correct answer and three incorrect options. The questions should cover [Provide more context]. Present it in a tabular format.

2. Open Canva's bulk create feature.

• Click on "Apps".
• Select "Bulk Create".
• Erase any existing data.
• Paste your ChatGPT-generated content.

3. To connect your data to the slides.

• Right-click on the elements.
• Click "Connect Data".
• Watch as Canva creates slides for all your questions.

Step 5: Finalizing and Exporting

The home stretch.

• Review all slides for consistency.
• Check timing of animations and transitions.
• Export in appropriate format and dimensions for your target platform.

Adding Multimedia Elements to Enhance Engagement

To make quizzes more engaging:

• Add multimedia elements like images, videos, and audio to make quiz questions and answers more interactive
• Upload your own files or pull from Canva's vast library of free resources
• Use interactive elements like buttons and clickable links to boost engagement
• Combining these elements helps capture audience attention and encourages repeat interaction

Sharing Your Quiz on Social Media

• Export your quiz as a shareable link or embed code for social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn
• Embed quizzes directly on your website or blog using Canva's embed code
• Track interactive element results to measure engagement and better understand your audience

Gaps in Canva's Quiz Maker

While Canva is powerful, let's be honest – creating video quizzes this way has its challenges.

• Multiple tools required (Canva Pro + ChatGPT + patience).
• Manual data connection process.
• Time-consuming setup and formatting.
• Complex animation coordination.
