Quiz Shows: Host a Live Quiz on Stream
With Vision quiz shows you host trivia with invited players: they answer on their own device, and the questions, scores and cameras appear in your overlay. Quiz shows are part of the Pro plan and live under Quizshows in the dashboard sidebar.

Frequently asked questions
Can my moderators help run the quiz?
Yes. Create a role with quiz show permissions under Roles and invite your moderators. They can then open the moderation page.
Is there a Jeopardy format?
A Jeopardy board with categories and point values exists, but it isn't enabled for every account yet. If you need it, contact support.
What happened to my quiz shows in the new Events area?
Nothing. If your account has early access to Events, existing quiz shows appear there under “Not in an event yet”. They keep working as before and can be linked to an event.
