# Use Flip

> Integrate Flip video discussions into Pear Deck lessons using Pear Deck templates and the Website interactive question type

GoGuardian Pear Deck has partnered with Flip to help educators facilitate effective, interactive discussions with their students. Flip is a free video discussion platform that makes learning more engaging and empowering. Use this guide to set up a Flip account, find Pear Deck templates in the Flip Discovery Library, and embed Flip topics directly into your Pear Deck slide deck.

## Set Up Pear Deck and Flip

1. Sign up for a [free Flip account](https://info.flipgrid.com/). Flip is available for Microsoft and Google users.
2. Create a Flip Group. A Group is a shared space within Flip where you can invite learners to join a Discussion.
3. Share your Group and invite learners to engage with the Topic.
4. Record videos on the Topic or create a new Topic. Learners can record videos in your Group.
