How To Screen Record With Canva

Thank you so much for this video

You are so welcome!

[@AboveandBeyondwithKarin]

Thank you so much!! You just made my life easier!

[@JamesDelong]

I’m happy this was helpful. Canva is such an amazing tool.

It doesn’t matter if the video is in a circle at first as it still records in the rectangular orientation. You just need to detach it from the frame or go to your uploads as the full video from your camera recording will be in uploads as well. Then you can put it in another shape if you want using a different frame.

Thx! It's fun to use. I'm using another screen recorder at this time but I am glad I have this option in Canva.

[@Loetofficial]

You are literally the first to make an in-depth video about this new feature nice one James!

[@JamesDelong]

Thank you. I am going to play around with video more inside of Canva to teach people how to use it for short intros and outros or even for social media things like reels. I don't know it well but I like to play around with Canva and share what I learn.

When I'm in a video project, I don't have the "person"/ profile icon... and I can't share my screen. Is this a Pro only feature?

[@JamesDelong]

@@TruthOrDare-USAx should be available in the free version too. www.canva.com/features/online-video-recorder/

keep em coming...

[@JamesDelong]

Will do! I’m listing down all the stuff I know or wanted to learn in Canva and making videos to help others and remind myself of what I’ve done so I can reference back.

Screen recording doesn’t appear to be an option on iPad. Also you can’t record using the app you have to use the browser version of Canva.

[@JamesDelong]

Yes, it looks like it is only for the desktop version. Thank you for pointing that out.

Do I need to have Canva Pro subscription to have the option for screen recording? because I dont see the screen recording option on my side,

[@JamesDelong]

Did you go to the upload section in the side bar? Check your data and privacy settings to turn on screen recording for your web browser or desktop app. When making your design, go to the Uploads tab and click Record Yourself. It’ll lead you to the recording studio, where you can select Share Screen to access the online screen recorder, then pick what window to capture, and turn on your webcam to record yourself with your screen simultaneously.

[@TendenciasSaludables-ng4wy]

@@JamesDelong i can do the recording but do not allow me to choose the window to capture. I dont have the pro version, do know if that is the problem.

[@JamesDelong]

@@TendenciasSaludables-ng4wythat I do not know. I got the pro version because I wanted the background removal tool and have been using the paid version ever since. For another free option use OBS. That’s what I currently use for desktop recording.

[@TendenciasSaludables-ng4wy]

@@JamesDelong Thanks, I was looking on OBS, but canva looked like all in one, for editing the video after recording. Thanks again

Hi I have Canva Pro bu that little icon for camera to share screen doesn’t come up as an option?

[@JamesDelong]

I don't know without troubleshoot but my first guess is to check your browser settings then: On your computer, open Chrome. Settings. Site settings. Under "Permissions," select Camera. Maybe this was turned off or blocked.
