If your members don't have Microsoft or Google accounts, Flipgrid makes safe and secure sign in easy with usernames! Usernames are created by the Group lead and can be a name, initials, lunch pins, or any easy-to-remember combination. When creating a username, a unique QR code is also created for the member to scan on the free Flipgrid app for mobile devices and tablets.
There is no limit to the number of usernames you can make for each Group. You can bulk upload up to 250 usernames at a time by uploading a CSV.
