How To Insert A Youtube Video In Canva

So, there I was, brainstorming for my latest social media post. I had this awesome idea, but it needed a YouTube video to really bring it home. The problem? I was drawing a blank on how to insert it into my Canva design. Sound familiar? Let's dive in and fix that, shall we?

First Things First: Find Your Video

Alright, so you've got your video all ready to go on YouTube. Great! Now, let's get it into Canva. First, you need to find the 'Share' button under your video. Click on it, and you'll see a few options. We're interested in the 'Embed' tab.

Here's where it gets a bit tricky. Canva doesn't support all YouTube video embed codes, so you might need to tweak it a bit. Don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds.

Tweaking the Embed Code

In the embed code, look for 'width' and 'height'. Change the numbers to '560' for width and '315' for height. This should make the video fit nicely into your Canva design.

Now, copy the entire code. We're almost there, promise!
