Carousel Cloud gives you the ability to dynamically integrate Canva presentations to show on your signage displays and express players.
Please Note:
Canva Presentations (icon shown below) are the only supported type of Canva file. All other types of Canva files, (Doc, Sheet, Video, Whiteboard, etc.) may display but are not supported.

How it Works
Creating the Canva Bulletin in Carousel Cloud
In Carousel Cloud, navigate to your desired zone for displaying the Canva content and select New Bulletin > Dynamic Bulletin > Canva Bulletin
If you haven’t already connected your Canva account to Carousel Cloud, click the orange Connect to Canva button and then complete the account connection in the pop-up window from Canva. You must click Allow for Carousel to gain access to your Canva account.
After connecting your Canva account to Carousel Cloud, you will then choose which Canva presentation you want to display in Carousel Cloud by clicking Choose a Presentation and then selecting it from the dropdown menu
After selecting the Canva presentation you want to display, and if you are ok with your Carousel Cloud players displaying snapshots (static images) of your Canva content, you can simply hit the orange Publish button in the upper right corner of the Canva bulletin screen. The Canva bulletin creation process is complete!
Displaying Canva Content Live
If you want to display your Canva content ‘live’ to show animations or other dynamic content, which is only supported on players that have a built-in web browser, you will need to:
Log in to your Canva account and browse to the design you want to display in Carousel
As shown below, select Share from the upper right, choose Embed, and then create and copy the Smart embed link
In Carousel Cloud, click the radio button for Display live when possible
Paste the Smart embed link in the Live Share URL field
Now you can simply hit the orange Publish button in the upper right corner of the Canva bulletin screen, and the Canva bulletin creation process is complete!
