The ongoing pandemic caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has enhanced the development of distance-learning apps such as Zoom, Google meets, Microsoft teams, Google classroom and so on. Zoom stands out as a very effective tool which has been gaining popularity all over the world. However, no matter how Zoom is functioned as a substitute for face-to-face lessons, teachers still find it struggle to deliver English lessons with full of joy and students' active engagement. This study focused on the use of Quizziz, an online environment for creating and joining gamified lessons, hosted by teacher through Zoom for warm-up and assess students' understanding. Data collected included zoom's recorded sessions, teachers and students' questionaires. The result shows that despite limitation of interaction between teachers and students through online platform, Quizizz still is effective and plays an important role in English language learning and teaching, especially when being conducted through Zoom. The study also indicates that teachers and students' perspectives towards Quizizz are positive.
