beautiful Canva slides directly within canva. I'll also show you how to add transitions between
slides for a smooth and really professional touch. In case you've not visited my channel before I'm

to subscribe to my channel and turn that little bell notification on so that you're one of the
first to know when I publish a new video. We've got a fair bit to cover today so let's dive in!
Rightie-ho so I'm on my Canva desktop and I've got a copy of a presentation in front of me.
Before I start let me just quickly show you how to add transitions to your slides. Make sure that
the slide you want to transition from is on your Canva desktop. Now go to the top left hand corner
of your toolbar where you'll see the Animate tab. Click on it. If you have a free Canva account
you have the benefit of seven transitions to choose from. Canva Pro users will have
an additional seven. Just click on each transition to see how it works and test out
see which one you prefer. Personally I like to keep things simple and use either Pan or Block and
I keep the other transitions like Pop and Neon for things like fun GIFs and other animations. If you
have a lengthy presentation and you have multiple pages to save you a heap of time just select the
transition you want and apply it to all pages by clicking in this little tiny box right here next
to the text 'Apply to all Pages'. So turning now to actually presenting within Canva all the tools
you'll need are within this button right here. And one obvious thing to mention right at the
start is that you will need to have an internet connection to present within Canva. So I'm just
going to click on this Present button and you'll see that there is a drop down menu. If I click on
the downward arrow you'll notice that there are three different modes to present your slides in.
There's Standard, there's Autoplay and there is Presenter view. So let's start off by having a
look at the Standard view. I'm just going to click on the present button to go into Standard mode
Now Standard mode is particularly useful for workshops, small groups or one-to-one
training where you can simply share your screen with a smaller audience. It's also perfect
for presenting your screen for online webinars via Zoom or Streamyard. And here's what I absolutely
love about the Standard present mode: you have a little in-built presenter tool for your cursor
which is perfect for pointing to and highlighting various parts of your slide. So let me take you
down to the bottom right hand corner of my screen and I don't know if you can see but
there's a little toolbar, a presenter toolbar. From left to right I can re-start my presentation
right from the first slide. I can see which slide I'm on as well so here you can see I'm on slide
1 of 23. And that's pretty handy if you're on a timed webinar and you want to keep track of
your progress. The next tool here gives me the ability to open my slides in Presenter view,
and we'll talk about Presenter view in just a few minutes. The next tool is called Canva Live and
it's a really exciting new development which has just been launched. I'll show you exactly how to
use this a little later on so do stay tuned! And the last tool enables me to exit the full screen.
To transition between your slides you can simply tap a key on your keyboard such as the spacebar
or you can use these side arrows right here.
And you can see how effective the little transitions are
when I click through to the next slide.
Let me just exit the full screen mode now.
I'm going to go back up to Present and i'm going to show you the second presenter mode which is
Autoplay. And this is really, really simple if you want your presentation to simply run on its own
without you having to do anything. All you need to do is select how many seconds you want to spend on
each slide. And this is pretty tricky actually because this will apply to all of your slides.
So you'll need to know your timings extremely well. To change the amount of seconds you spend
on each slide just pop your cursor in this box here and then type in however many seconds you
want per slide. So i'm just going to show you how this works. I'm going to type in three seconds
per slide, click on present and I'm going to sit back and watch this change all by itself
You see how that works? I can't really see anybody using this mode because as I say
you really have no control over the speed at which your presentation runs. Now the third
and final way to present slides within Canva - click on Present and go into Presenter View.
Now this mode is absolutely perfect for live conferences or meetings where you have the use
of two screens, or one screen and a monitor. The reason for this is that when you click on Present
you have two windows that are opened up onto your screen. You have the Audience Window and
behind that is your own Presenter Window. So on one screen you'll have the audience window and
to open it up into full screen mode I just need to click on this purple button here.
And this is exactly what your audience will see.
Let me just minimize that down to the bottom.
And this is your Presenter Window, this is what you will see.
You have the current time.
Moving across the screen you have a timer ticking away which is really handy to help you keep
pace of your presentation. You can start from the beginning by clicking on this button here
and that will re-set the timer. To start the timer simply click on the play button
On the right hand side of the screen. You can add your notes and you can use up to 2,000 characters here.
Right at the bottom of your screen you'll have little thumbnail images of your slides.
If you're speaking at a conference no doubt you'll be using your digital clicker to transition
between slides. If not you can still transition between slides by clicking on these side arrows
or clicking the thumbnail image underneath. Now let me talk to you about Canva Live...and this
really is very exciting! If I just click on the button right here "Canva Live lets
your audience join from any device and allows you to crowdsource questions".
So what exactly does that mean? If I click on the 'Start New Session' button
I can now invite my audience to click on Canva.Live on any device that they're using,
so their smartphone for instance, and enter this particular code. Let me just do that for you
just to show you exactly how it works. I'm going to enter www.canva.live
and I'm going to enter the code that canva gave me on the previous screen so 476-457-476-457
and this is what your audience will see they will see that they've joined the
"PA forum talk handout" which is my current presentation. And to type in a question or
a comment they just need to place their cursor in this box here and type away
Okay, "Hello Nicky"
And you'll see my message has popped up on this side screen right here.
Unfortunately Canva Live is a Canva Pro feature
so if you want to experiment with this feature why not click on the
link which I'll leave in the description box below and treat yourself to an exclusive 45 day
FREE Canva Pro trial.
