Social learning is a powerful way to engage students and that is why Flipgrid defaults videos to be seen by all students of the Grid (and only students in your class)! Flipgrid also understands some discussions require moderation or student videos to be hidden.

Hide New Videos From Students

To default videos to be hidden and only visible to the educator, turn on Video Moderation under Topic settings: 

1. Access your educator account at admin.flipgrid.com to visit your main My Grids page.
2. Select a Grid by clicking its name.
3. Scroll down to see a list of your Topics. Use the Actions menu and select Edit Topic (not to be confused with editing a Grid)
4. Scroll down to the Topic Status section, toggle the Video Moderation setting to on.

Students can view their moderated videos by going to my.flipgrid.com and using their email to access any videos they have submitted on Flipgrid. Students will also receive a confirmation email their video was submitted. 

Hide or Activate Student Videos

The quickest way to watch and make moderated videos visible is to use your Recent Videos section. Here, you can filter for moderated videos, Responses, and Replies. Quickly change Hidden to Active. 

Educators can also activate videos in their videos table:

1. Access your educator account at admin.flipgrid.com to visit your main My Grids page.
2. Select a Grid by clicking its name.
3. Scroll down to see a list of your Topics. Select a Topic by clicking its title.
4. Scroll down to see a list of videos.
   • Change 🔴Hidden to 🟢Active so students can view them.
   • Use the batch actions to activate multiple or all videos at once.
