Flip — Learning & Classroom Tool

Flip was once a leading classroom video discussion tool, but it should now be treated primarily as a legacy reference because the standalone product has been retired.

Flip, formerly Flipgrid, was a free educational video discussion platform where teachers posted prompts and students responded with short videos. However, the standalone Flip website and app were retired after Microsoft moved its functionality into Microsoft Teams for Education.

Historically, Flip was used for video reflections, speaking practice, asynchronous discussion, and student voice activities. Today, if you are evaluating tools for a new implementation, you should assume the standalone Flip experience is no longer the right product path.

• Originally built for prompt-based classroom video responses
• Strong use case for reflection, speaking, and async participation
• Accessible free model made it popular in schools worldwide
• Now retired as a standalone platform and moved into Teams for Education

• Historically excellent for student voice and low-pressure video discussion
• Easy for teachers and students to use in many classroom contexts
• Strong legacy value in education workflows and pedagogy examples

• The standalone tool is no longer available as before
• Current Teams-based replacement does not match the old product experience exactly
• It should not be evaluated as an active standalone purchase or rollout option

As a legacy tool reference, Flip is most relevant to educators comparing past classroom video discussion workflows with current alternatives.

For active alternatives, compare the older Flip use case with Padlet, Wakelet, and Seesaw.

Is Flip still available as a standalone product? No. The standalone Flip website and app were retired after Microsoft folded the tool into Teams for Education.

Should new users adopt Flip today? Not as a standalone tool. New evaluations should focus on current alternatives or the Teams-based ecosystem.
