      How can I change the anonymity setting for a quiz from non-anonymous to anonymous?  

      While you can change the anonymity setting for an upcoming polly through the editing feature, this functionality isn't available for quizzes. For quizzes, there is no anonymity setting. This is because if the results setting is "anonymous" then you won't know who won the quiz, so for quizzes the results are non-anonymous by default. You can choose whether you want to show the results to the participants or not by selecting the relevant "results visibility" setting. More around available settings & features here

      Is there a timer functionality available in quizzes? Example I want to set a timing countdown for each question which has game speed option of between 10-60 seconds.

      Presently we don't have the timer functionality in quizzes, this functionality is only available if you run trivia during a Teams Meeting. More on trivia in meetings here
