Microsoft purchased the student engagement tool Flipgrid in 2023 and rebranded the tool from Flipgrid to Flip. Since then, the company has moved some of the core Flip features into Teams for Education and will be retiring the standalone app and web site by September 30, 2024.
Starting July 1, Flip will no longer be available in mobile app stores, and the web site Flip.com will go into view-only mode. While you will no longer be able to create new groups, topics or videos after this date, you will still have access to download your Flip videos through September 30.

Will my students still be able to see the videos in the groups and topics I created while Flip is in view-inly mode?
Yes. Through September 30, your Flip content will remain visible to you and others you’ve shared it with, and you can still view and download your videos on Flip.com.
Which Flip features will be included in Microsoft Teams for Education? Will I be able to create Flip groups and topics there?
Educators will have a limited set of core Flip functions available inside Teams, including sending video messages and assignments to students and getting students responses back using the Flip camera. Your class inside Teams will serve a similar role as a Flip group, and video assignments are similar to Flip topics. Additional features like comments, Mixtapes, and AR will not be available in Teams. Watch the videos below for more info:

What will you do with my videos and personal data after September 30? Will it move to Teams?
No data from Flip will be migrated into Teams. All videos and all user data across all systems of Flip will be fully deleted within 30 days of Flip’s sunset on October 1, 2024, in accordance with our Terms of Use, and Flip.com will no longer be available.
