Microsoft Flip, formerly Flipgrid, has been discontinued as a standalone app. If you need a Flip alternative, try Padlet for video discussions.
On Padlet, you can record and upload videos, share boards via link or QR code and leave comments on each other's videos.
Here’s a quick guide to get you started with video discussions on Padlet.
