What is Flip (Microsoft)?

Flip, formerly known as Flipgrid, was a free video discussion app that Microsoft acquired in 2018 and made available at no cost to all educators. Teachers posted discussion topics as text or video prompts, and students responded asynchronously with short videos, audio, or text that classmates could comment on and build upon, with automatic closed captioning and simple video editing tools like stickers and effects.

As of October 1, 2024, Microsoft fully retired the standalone Flip website and mobile apps and deleted all stored user data. Its camera and basic video assignment features now live inside Microsoft Teams for Education rather than as an independent product, so Flip is no longer available or purchasable on its own. This listing reflects its historical functionality; anyone looking for these features today should look at Teams for Education instead.

Flip (Microsoft) FAQs

No. Microsoft retired the standalone Flip website and apps on October 1, 2024, and deleted all stored user data.

Its camera and basic video assignment tools were folded into Microsoft Teams for Education, but the original discussion and peer response features were not carried over.

Before Microsoft's 2018 acquisition of Flipgrid, it had paid tiers, but Microsoft made it fully free immediately after acquiring it, and it remained free until shutdown.

No, Microsoft stated that all Flip data across its systems was deleted within 30 days of the October 1, 2024 sunset date.

It should be flagged as discontinued; its closest current equivalent is the Flip Camera feature inside Microsoft Teams for Education.
