Flipgrid welcomes you to its platform. You may access the Service using your personal email address or an email address provided to you by your organization. Depending on the role you play when using the Service, you may be able to create and/or manage “Topics” and “Groups.” Learn more about Topics and Groups here.
The following are different roles that you may play as you access the Service:
Lead
A “Lead” initiates and manages Groups and Topics and manages and sets permissions for Member and Guest videos and text within those Group(s) and Topics. Leads using the Service with an email address provided by their affiliated organization, such as an educational institution or organization or other educational business (a “School”), represent and warrant that they have the legal authority to bind their organization to these Terms and agree that their use of the Service may be subject to additional terms between Flipgrid and the relevant organization. Such Leads are referred to as School Leads. School Leads accept Flipgrid’s Terms and Privacy Policy on behalf of their Student Members. They are also responsible for obtaining parental consent for any Members who are minors in their country. Specific responsibilities of School Leads are described in Section 4 of these Terms.

Co-Lead
A “Co-Lead” helps Leads manage their Group(s) by adding students, creating, and managing Topic(s), and providing student feedback. Co-Leads do not have the ability to invite other Co-Leads to the Group or delete any user generated content. Co-Leads using the Service with an email address provided by their School are referred to as “School Co-Leads.”

Member
A “Member” is invited to participate in Groups and Topics via a join code provided by a Lead, such as a student invited by his/her School teacher (a “Student Member”). Members can create and manage their own videos and text within a Group or Topic. Members cannot create Groups but may create Topics if the Lead grants them this privilege.
