Hello Kara,

I don't know the specifics of your project, but I am working on something similar. Except, instead of using Fipgrid for interaction, having the presenter create video and then sharing the video URL to a Google slide deck for the awards. If you wanted to include multiple presenters, each person can create their video and then you can combine them in  a "mix tape"  and then share out that URL.

While there are many video applications out there, this one does seem to be more user friendly since it does not require any file transfers and the ability to share the link makes the vids easily accessible. I also like that during recording the video can be paused to allow for a scene change or picking up props or items to show viewers.

Previously I've always used iMovie or FinalCut pro, but that was when I could have students or teachers airdrop their videos to me. I love your idea of having more interaction and I'm looking forward to seeing other suggestions for this.

Does anyone know if Flipgrid has the setting to close the grid so viewers cannot make new videos on a grid, but still allow those with the flipcode to reply to videos? We are thinking of using it as an interactive awards presentation. I tried using a guest code link but it blocks both new videos and replies.

Thanks in advance for your help!
