Kahoot games bring people together, and our users are finding more creative ways to play - especially with online groups and channels. We’ve been working to streamline the user experience with our product in different channels. As a result, we’ve released an app for Microsoft Teams that enables Kahoot! users to assign kahoots and play live games to teach or present.
