Last updated on March 14, 2023 @ 10:07 am

YouTube is a popular video-sharing website that allows users to upload, view, and share videos. You can embed a YouTube video in Canva by following these simple steps:

1. First, create a new design and select your preferred template in the “Design” tab.

2. Next, click on the Apps tab on the left and select “Youtube” from the list of applications.

3. On the next page, click on the “Use” button.

4. Once Youtube is added to your Canva applications, select it and search for the Youtube video that you want to embed in your design.

5. Canva will then pull up a preview of the video and you can move and resize it as needed. When you’re happy with how it looks, simply save it and you’re good to go!

Conclusion:

Embedding a YouTube video in Canva is a simple process that only takes a few steps. First, create a new design and select your template in the “Design” tab. Then, go to the left panel and select “Youtube” from the list of applications in the “Apps” tab. Finally, search for the Youtube video that you want to embed in your design, then drag it to add it to your canvas.

PRO TIP: We strongly advise against embedding YouTube videos in Canva for a number of reasons. Firstly, YouTube videos are often not high enough quality to look good in a Canva design. Secondly, YouTube videos can be taken down or made private at any time, meaning that your design could suddenly break and look unfinished. Finally, YouTube videos can be slow to load, and may not play correctly on all devices. If you really need to use a video in your design, we recommend finding a high-quality video on another site or using an animated GIF instead.
