[@charmcitypropertydude]

Great video, so you are saying by removing the background on your overlay or making it transparent will eliminate the need to green screen it?

[@jinnygurl486]

Love this thank you ❤ Canva Rockz 🎉

[@trevondubose1316]

I was wondering how you was recording yourself in a little circle while you was showing us the overlay effects

[@emmaemoezofu1774]

What software do you use for the circular video and video sharing?

[@canva]

We've asked Melanie, the creator of the tutorial to let you know! It won't be long now 😊 ^ron

[@MelanieDyann]

Hi Emma! I use Screencast-O-Matic for most of my screen share style videos. But for this one I created a custom style using OBS. It’s pretty tricky to learn but it’s pretty powerful.

[@drsadie]

I use restream does this work for it as well?

[@canva]

Let's see what Melanie says here... ^ron

[@phatpastor32974]

I’ve been using stream yard for months and need like-sub gif. I loaded Canva and paid for pro and still cant get transparent background all is white?

[@yaminahall]

How are you making yourself croped in a circle on yourstream?

[@canva]

Grab a circle frame from the element tab and just drag the video in.

[@magicgame3134]

Hi please tell me how can we use Canva if we want to sell digital items on Etsy ? What if I want to sell a resume. What should I do with premade canva designs ? Should I edit all of contents ? Or a few things. Can you pls make a tutorial regarding this ? Or tell me ? Please I need this info

[@canva]

Hello there! You could use all of the Pro and Free templates that we have in our library both for commercial and non-commercial purposes, just as long as you add your own personal tweaks on the designs through our platform first, and that you wouldn't download / use them on a standalone basis. Modifications could be as simple as playing around with different colors, putting on filters, experimenting on effects, inserting elements, and / or adding texts. That way, you're able to add your own value to the design, and it's sure that your finished product wouldn't look like any of the existing templates that we have in our library. Feel free to take a look at this link to know more: www.canva.com/licensing-explained/. Hope this clarifies! 😊 ^gv

[@magicgame3134]

@@canva I got it very well. I’m happy now. Canva makes that easy. Now I can modify a few things or add my own designs on Canva templates to sell or other purposes. Thanks for all. 👍
