How Do I Autoplay Video in Canva?

Last updated on March 14, 2023 @ 10:06 am

There is one simple way that you can autoplay video in Canva. That is to enable the “Autoplay” feature in the video playback settings.

To do this, first, open the video that you want to autoplay.

Once the video design file is open in Canva, select the page thumbnail with the video that you want to autoplay.

Then, select the video element itself in your design to open up more settings in the top menu. From there, select the “Playback” button.

This will open the Video Playback settings in the left panel. To enable autoplay in your video, simply click on the toggle button beside the “Autoplay in presentation” section.

NOTE: The toggle circle should be on the right side to indicate that autoplay is enabled.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to autoplay video in Canva, be aware that there are some potential risks. First and foremost, autoplay can be disruptive to the user experience, so use it sparingly and only when it genuinely enhances the content. Secondly, remember that not all devices support autoplay, so test your design on as many devices as possible before publishing. Finally, be sure to include controls so that users can stop or pause the video if they need to.

 

All three of these steps will lead you to enable the autoplay feature of your video in Canva. Experiment with these steps to see what works best for you and your design.
