How do I embed my Canva presentation?
Have a Canva presentation to show? No worries, you can now embed it into the Hive!
Embedded slides are accessible within the Hive and can be configured as your slide decks for the day or for specific timetable entries. On the other hand, linked slides open your file in a new tab for easy editing. When you embed a Canva presentation, it will display in presentation mode, and direct edits are not possible.
- Go to your Canva presentation and click the 'Share' button in the top right. Activate the embed or public view link to ensure it opens in presentation mode. Otherwise, using the regular share link may result in a 'forbidden' message.
Note: Either way will work. Both leads to the same file location.
- Once activated, copy the public link and create an item in your Hive Content tab.
Note: Either link will work.
- Go to 'Content' and create a new slide. Enter your deck's name and paste the copied public link. Click 'Embed slide'.
- A new deck will be created, and you'll be automatically be navigated to its view page.
- Click 'Connect to Timetable' and select whether to link it to a specific day's timetable or set it as a default option—the slide will be accessible each time you use the option in your timetable.
- To maximise the screen, make sure to hit 'Full screen' on the left side menu, close the menu, and click 'Presentation Mode'. Also collapse the timetable if you want more breathing space.
Note: especially for large presentations, the first time loading can take a little while. After the first load, your browser will remember some of the big elements (like images) within the slides, so it'll be much faster for subsequent loads.
