Canva designs in Digital Signage

Canva

Canva is a user-friendly graphic design tool that allows users to create visual content with ease. If you're familiar with Canva, you'll be pleased to know that you can fully integrate Canva.

Please note, the Canva plugin is not yet working on Samsung Tizen, LG WebOS and BrightSign media players.

Elevate your digital signage with Canva's powerful design tools! Seamlessly integrate Canva with Play Digital Signage to effortlessly create stunning visuals. Leverage Canva's user-friendly interface, extensive templates, and intuitive features to produce impactful digital signage content that captivates your audience.

To get started you need an account at Canva, but since you're here we assume you already have that.

Step 1

When you create your Canva design it's important you start out with the correct resolution, so when you create a design choose Custom Size and input the resolution of your TV, and lock the aspect ratio. A standard HD TV is 1920x1080 and a standard 4K TV is 3840x2160.

When you've created your design, added your pages,  animations, and everything is ready, click SHARE, then SEE ALL, then EMBED, and then copy the URL in Smart Embed Link.

Step 2

Go to my.playsignage.com/playlists, open or create a playlist. Find the Canva app in apps in the top menu.

On the right you have the settings for the Canva app, paste the Smart Embed Link in Canva URL.

If you only have Canva content in your playlist, make sure to set the slide duration to Play this slide forever.

Does the content change on the TV when I update Canva?

Yes, Canva is in the cloud and we are in the cloud, so any changes you make will be published to your TVs.

The content keeps reloading every 10 sec.

Make sure to set the slide duration in your playlist (my.playsignage.com) otherwise the content will reload based on the slide duration. If you're only running Canva, set the slide duration to Play this slide forever.
