Within seconds, the system asks the player to choose a nickname, which will represent them during the quiz. This nickname appears on the leaderboard and can sometimes become part of the fun if players choose creative or funny names. After entering the nickname, the player is placed in the game lobby where they can see other participants joining as well. The host usually waits until enough players have joined before starting the kahoot code. Once the quiz begins, questions appear on the main presentation screen while players use their own devices to select answers.
