- With the new or existing design loaded, navigate to the editor panel on the left and click on Apps. In the search bar associated with it, search for YouTube in the search bar provided.
- Doing so, you’re displayed with results from which click on YouTube.
- Before proceeding further, open a new tab on YouTube and search for a video. Next, copy the code at the end of the URL and ensure you get it right.+
- Now paste the code copied in Step 4 and paste it in the search box associated with the YouTube app of Canva.
- On pasting the code and hitting enter, you are displayed several results with the YouTube video on the top. Now, click on it or drag the result to the design to add it.
