Video Moderation: Make Student Videos Private
Avatar
Flipgrid Support

Video Moderation will default all student videos to be hidden from other students and only visible to the educator in their Educator Dashboard. Video Moderation is a great feature for educators who manually want to view and approve videos for student view, private office hours, or assessments. 

Enabling Video Moderation

  1. Access your educator account at admin.flipgrid.com 
  2. Within Discussions, create a new Topic or go to Actions and Edit Topic
  3. Turn on Video Moderation to default video responses to be hidden
  4. Select Create or Update Topic to save your changes
Note: Any videos that were submitted prior to enabling Video Moderation will remain visible to students until the educator hides them. All new videos will automatically be hidden.
