Is there a limit on the number of hotspots we can include on a screen? I am trying to put in about 25 but it defaults to 10?

    Hot Spot quiz questions are indeed limited in the number you can have on a slide.

    When it comes to normal slides, using ordinary Click Boxes, you could easily have 25 or more, but then your scoring will be a lot more complex, and it won't be a true quiz question.  Each separate click box can be set up to score separately.

    This is not the only limitation for hotspot questions: since you can click anywhere on the screen, any custom shape button added to it (is possible for quiz slides) will be useless. Moreover hotspots can only be rectangular. Personally I never use click boxes neither for custom hotspot question slides, but shape buttons. It is not really that hard, have a look at:
