Registration and Posting Instructions

Please review the following instructions for uploading your organization's video to Flipgrid: 

  1. For your student organization to receive the Flipgrid Join Code for Virtual ClubFest, you must first register for the event. 

  1. Once you've registered, a Student Activities Center staff member will confirm your registration and send you the Join Code.

    • IMPORTANT: The club member that is recording or uploading the video MUST be an officer of your organization that is listed in the Student Organization Database, otherwise your video will not be posted. Please make sure your officers have been updated before you post a video.

Tips for Creating Videos

  • We highly recommend the use of closed captions/subtitles to make your club video accessible. You can add subtitles to videos in video editing software (ie iMovie or Windows Movie Maker).  Check out additional online software to assist with adding subtitles to your video. 

  • An easy way to create an informative video is to use Zoom or WebEx, present a PowerPoint, and then share your screen and narrate over the video. If you want to create a fancier PowerPoint presentation, check out these online software to animate presentations.
