Computers without cameras
You can create Flipgrid videos using computers without a built-in camera. If you would like to record with video, select a webcam input for your video. If you would not like to record with video, remember that you can still enable Mic Only and add any effect your device supports.
iOS and Android Apps
To create a Flipgrid video on a mobile device, members will need to download the free Flipgrid app. Leads can use both the mobile app, mobile browser, or desktop to access their account and manage their groups.
