An alternative way to embed YT video in Canva

You can embed a YouTube video in your Canva presentation in two ways. The first method is using the Canva YouTube widget (explained above), which allows you to add an embedded video directly from your account on Canva.com or within any of our apps (available for iOS and Android).

The second method is by adding a link to it in your presentation’s text field:

This will cause Canva to display a small rectangle containing everything that you need to see onscreen when someone clicks or taps on it. Visually, it will produce the same preview using the first method. The only difference is how it was added on the presentation.

And that’s all there is to it! Now you can add some engaging visuals to your presentations with ease.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to embed a YouTube video in your Canva presentation, be aware that there are certain risks involved. First and foremost, YouTube videos are copyrighted material, and you could be held liable for copyright infringement if you use someone else’s video without their permission. Additionally, YouTube videos are not always appropriate for a professional presentation, so use discretion when choosing which videos to embed.

Conclusion

In conclusion, YouTube videos can be embedded into Canva presentations in seconds. It’s easy to do, and you can embed as many videos as you like! We hope this article has been helpful for you if you want to share your favorite YouTube with others.
