If you don't want to let students to type their name when joining Kahoot, you can use the Nickname Genereator function to assign a unique name for them.

How to use the nickname generator

1. Launch the kahoot game you want to play as usual from your account.
2. In the lobby, toggle on the Nickname generator feature from the game options menu – see screenshot below for reference! At this point, this feature supports games in Classic mode.
3. Players will join at kahoot.it or in the app as usual. After entering the game PIN they have up to three tries to choose a nickname generated at random, before joining the game.

Kick inappropriate nicknames from the game

In the case that you want to let your players’ creativity run free, you can opt to not use the nickname generator. If anyone in the room joins with an inappropriate nickname, you have the option to simply “kick out” the player from the Kahoot! game. Just hover over the nickname so it’s crossed out and click to remove the name.

Finally, Kahoot! also has a filter in place that immediately removes words that are deemed universally inappropriate. When a player tries to use one of these words, their nickname will be changed automatically to a neutral word.
