Every update to Flipgrid is driven by ideas and feedback from our inspiring #FlipgridForAll community. Keep reading to explore six new updates that make Flipgrid more simple, engaging, and fun!

Sync Google Classroom Roster: Coming Dec. 21!

As we approach a new year with new learning communities, we are making Flipgrid simpler and more powerful. Starting Dec. 21, you can sync Google Classroom rosters to Flipgrid discussions, making student access easier than ever!

 

Simply choose a Google Classroom roster when setting Group permissions. When your community accesses your Flipgrid discussion, they will have the option to log in via Google, and only those on your class roster will gain access.
