How can I replace the stock images with images from my own personal PowerPoint slideshow?
You can add your slides to Kahoot if needed. Check out this article about how to upload slides to a Kahoot: https://support.kahoot.com/hc/en-us/articles/360056769373-How-to-import-slides
Am I able to change the name of the answers? Instead of using True or False, can I use Yes or No?
You can not change the wording in "True or False" module, however you can just use the first two answer options in the "Quiz module" and name them Yes or No. The live Kahoot will only show these.
Hi there, is there a way to remove the "Find and insert media" option in the middle of the quiz slides, if we just want to use a text-based question and make it fill up the space at the top half of the slide? I noticed that if I don't add an image, that area is still empty, making for a bit of an awkward slide where the question is at the very top and the answers at at the very bottom with an empty space in between. Thanks so much!
No, it's a standard default feature of Kahoot!.
It's what makes Kahoot engaging and fun, and makes the learning stick better.
What's the context for your Kahoot! use-case? Why don't you want to show any media to the participants?
Thank you so much for the quick reply! We are creating a Kahoot quiz game for a student-led class activity to review some of the lecture content. There isn't any specific media we'd need to include based on the questions so I was wondering if we can remove the media section. If not, that's totally fine, I'll think of something to put there!
A workaround could be just to type: "Question" in the top bar, and then upload your own media file with text (this can be done in PowerPoint and exported to JPG), as shown here.
Thank you for the suggestion, we will try this if we don't have a good media file to include! And thank you again for your quick and helpful responses :)

How to change a Kahoot quiz from a "my drafts" to "my Kahoots" ? Every time I click save it tries to upsell me on my subscription. Very frustrated.
hpeastling20 To save your game as a playable kahoot in My kahoots, you either have to remove all the features marked with a star (not included in your plan) or upgrade to a plan that offers all the features used in your game. Here's an article on saving your kahoots: How to save a kahoot.
