Looking for a Flip alternative? ScreenPal has you covered!
The education world was rocked recently when Microsoft announced the sunsetting of Flip. Or, more accurately, it’s placement within Microsoft Teams.
Many educators are wondering where they can move and host all of their Flip videos and find easy video creation tools that their students can use on any device — preferably without any additional cost.
ScreenPal is the perfect alternative to Flip. With ScreenPal, you can record, upload, host, and share unlimited videos (and images!) for free. Your students can record video reflections and responses, easily edit videos for assignments, and leave video comments on each other’s content for discussions.
