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.

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, and animations, and everything is ready, click SHARE, then MORE, then EMBED, and then copy the URL in Smart Embed Link.

This URL is what you're going to paste in CANVA URL in the plugin.
