I use WeVideo. We have a district subscription.
We announce birthdays, special events or reminders (ie, early dismissal), and I  will often include a "thinking moment" topic around respect, kindness, compassion, etc.   It concludes with an invitation to stand and say the Pledge as a classroom community. In the past we have had Student Council members help with the video creation. The daily videos are only about 1 minute long.  Easy to share the web link!

Hello,

Our Principal and Tech Integration Specialist do a livestream every morning (recorded and placed in the morning announcements folder in drive for all to refer to if needed) for all our students.  They cover upcoming events, announcements, important messages to go out to all.  There is some planning behind it such as if they want to have music playing that correlates with the announcements.  They try to be creative and entertaining.  They will visit different classrooms in the morning to "report" from and include students as applicable (again, they plan ahead w/ students if needed).

Respectfully,

Hi All,
Do any schools do video announcements either daily or weekly? Looking to use something that doesn't take too long to create, is easy to share and will be just a click of a link for teachers.
Suggestions??
