July 2022
While viewing your Canva presentation that you are ready to share on your screens, click the Share icon.
Navigate from Share > More > Embed so that you find your Canva Smart embed link for the presentation. Please note that setting your slide to an Embed link means that it is published online and accessible to anyone who has the shared link of the document.
Save this link for the steps ahead.
Within Studio, navigate to Apps and search for the Playgrounds app.
Add the Playgrounds app to your account , select New Instance, and then pick the Canva template to begin.
This is the Canva template in Playgrounds.
In the JavaScript column's, scroll down to the code at line 99, and find the const url = "[URL]" section. You can remove the existing URL there and replace it with the one from your Canva slide.
What you will need to do is just add ?embed at the end of your Canva Smart embed link.
Your link should look like the example below within the Javascript section:
https://www.canva.com/design/DAFJxf7ymVA/view?embed
If your Canva presentation contains more than one slide, please set this number at the slideCount at code line 100. For example, if your Canva presentation contains 4 pages:
const slideCount = 4
To adjust the duration a page or slide displays, please set the slideDuration number at code line 101. For example, if you wish to display for 5 seconds, please write:
const slideDuration = 5000
To preview your instance, click the Preview button in the top right corner and ensure the Canva design has loaded correctly. You can then select Save.
Finally, schedule your Playground instance amongst your content as normal to display on screen!
