When it comes to social media, video is one of the most popular forms of content. And when it comes to video, Instagram is one of the most popular platforms. In fact, according to a recent study, Instagram is now the second most popular social media platform after YouTube.

So, if you’re looking to get started with Instagram video or you’re just looking for some tips on how to make better videos, you’re in the right place. In this article, we’re going to show you how to make a Canva Video Story on Instagram.

Canva is a free online design platform that makes it easy to create beautiful designs for social media, websites, and more. And one of the best things about Canva is that it’s super easy to use – even if you’re not a designer.

To create a Canva Video Story on Instagram, you’ll first need to create a free account on Canva.com. Once you’ve done that, click on the ‘Create a design’ button and select ‘Instagram Story’ from the list of options.

On the next screen, you’ll be able to choose from a range of ready-made templates or create your own from scratch. For this tutorial, we’ll be using one of the ready-made templates.

Once you’ve found a template you like, click on it and then click ‘Use template’. You’ll then be able to edit the template to suit your needs. To add text, simply click on the ‘Text’ tab and start typing.

You can also add images, videos, and other forms of media by clicking on the ‘Uploads’ tab and selecting the file from your computer. Once you’re happy with your design, click on the ‘Download’ button and select ‘MP4’ from the list of options.

Now that you have your Canva Video Story, it’s time to upload it to Instagram. To do that, open up the Instagram app and go to your profile page. Then click on the ‘+ Add to story’ button in the top-right corner.

From there, select ‘Upload’ and choose the video file from your camera roll. Once it’s been uploaded, you can edit it by adding text, filters, stickers, etc.

When you’re happy with your story, simply click on the ‘Share’ button and voila! Your Canva Video Story is now live on Instagram for all your friends and followers to see.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about making a Canva video story on Instagram, think again! This is not a good idea for several reasons. First, your Instagram followers are used to seeing photos and videos, not slideshows with text overlays. Second, the quality of Canva videos is not great, so your story will likely look amateurish and low-budget. Finally, there is no guarantee that your Canva video will even work on Instagram – it may be rejected by the platform or simply not appear in your followers’ feeds. So save yourself the time and trouble, and stick to traditional photos and videos on Instagram.

Your Canva Video Story, is now live on Instagram for all your friends and followers too see!
