How Do I Put a YouTube Video Into a Canva Presentation?
Have you ever wondered how to add a YouTube video to your Canva presentation? Well, you're in luck! In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process step by step, so you can easily incorporate captivating videos into your Canva creations.
Step 1: Get the YouTube Video Embed Code
The first thing you need to do is find the YouTube video you want to include in your Canva presentation. Once you've found the video, click on the 'Share' button below it. A popup will appear with various sharing options. To get the embed code, click on the 'Embed' tab.
Copy the entire embed code provided by YouTube. This code contains all the necessary information to display and play the video within your Canva presentation.
Step 2: Open Your Canva Presentation
If you haven't already, log in to your Canva account and open the presentation where you want to insert the YouTube video. You can either create a new presentation or choose an existing one from your dashboard.
Step 3: Add a Custom Embed
In Canva, there are several elements available for adding content to your slides. However, for embedding a YouTube video, we need to use a custom embed element.
- To add a custom embed element, go to the left sidebar and click on 'Elements'.
- In the search bar at the top of the sidebar, type 'embed' and press enter.
- Select the 'Custom Embeds' option from the results that appear below.
Step 4: Inserting Your YouTube Video
A custom embed element will now appear on your slide. To insert your YouTube video, click on the 'Embed a Website' button within the element.
A dialog box will appear where you can paste the YouTube embed code you copied earlier. Simply paste the code into the provided field and click 'Embed'.
Step 5: Adjusting the Video Size
By default, Canva sets the video size to fit the entire slide. However, you may want to adjust the size to better suit your presentation's layout. To do this, click on the embedded video and drag its corners to resize it.
Step 6: Preview and Finalize
To ensure everything looks perfect, it's always a good idea to preview your presentation before sharing or exporting it. Click on the 'Play' button to preview your Canva presentation with the embedded YouTube video.
If you're satisfied with how everything looks, go ahead and finalize your presentation by saving it or exporting it in your preferred format. Congratulations! You've successfully added a YouTube video to your Canva presentation!
