Want to create professional-looking videos without a laptop?

Now, with Canva’s mobile recording feature, you can record, edit, and share high-quality videos straight from your phone—perfect for presentations, social media, or team updates.

Let’s dive in and see how you can start recording like a pro!

🚀 Step 1: Open Canva & Choose a Template

First, open Canva on your phone and select a template.

✅ You can choose from thousands of options—whether it’s for marketing, business presentations, or social media content.
✅ For this tutorial, I’m using a Marketing Proposal template, which I customized with my brand name, “Brand Locally.”

🎬 Step 2: Start Recording

Once your design is ready, follow these steps:

1️⃣ Click ‘Uploads’ → ‘Record Yourself’
2️⃣ Grant camera permissions if prompted.
3️⃣ Choose your camera settings
✅ Front Camera 🎥 – for selfie-style recording
✅ Back Camera 📷 – for higher-quality shots
4️⃣ Set up your phone
📌 Use a tripod or phone stand for a stable shot.

Now, tap ‘Start Recording’ and get ready to present!

📝 Step 3: Navigate Through Slides While Recording

As you record, you can move through your presentation seamlessly:

➡️ Click Next Slide to transition smoothly.
➡️ Deliver your content naturally—just like you would in a live presentation.

Example:
📌 “Hi, this is a Marketing Proposal from Brand Locally.”
📌 (Next Slide) “Here’s our Marketing Analysis…”
📌 (Next Slide) “These are our Marketing Objectives…”

Once you’re done, tap ‘Done’ → ‘Save & Exit’.

🎥 Step 4: Review & Edit Your Video

Now, it’s time to fine-tune your recording!

✅ Click the playback button (upper-right corner) to review.
✅ Adjust your video placement within the presentation:
📌 Move it left, right, center, or resize as needed.
✅ Tweak the text or layout to avoid overlap.

You can also record additional clips or even screen record your phone for a more dynamic presentation!
