To add a video link in Canva, you can use the link icon after selecting a visual element, like a thumbnail, and then paste the video link. Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Steps to Add a Video Link in Canva
- Select the Element: Within your Canva design, click on the element (e.g., a thumbnail image, text, or shape) that you want to link to the video.
- Click the Link Icon: Look for the "Link" icon (it often resembles a chain link) in the toolbar at the top of the Canva editor. It might also be found under the "More" (three dots) menu.
- Paste the Video Link: Click the link icon, and a text box will appear. Paste the URL of the video (e.g., a YouTube link, Vimeo link, or a link to a video hosted on another platform) into this text box.
- Apply the Link: Press "Enter" or click outside the text box to apply the link to the selected element. Canva typically confirms the link has been added.
- Test the link: You can download your design and check if the link works as expected.
For example, if you have a thumbnail image representing your video, select the thumbnail, click the link icon, paste your YouTube video URL, and press enter. Now, when someone clicks that thumbnail in your shared Canva design or downloaded PDF, it will redirect them to your YouTube video.
