ClickUp Guide: How to Screen Record on Canva

If you manage design or content workflows in ClickUp, knowing how to screen record on Canva helps you capture crystal-clear tutorials, walkthroughs, and feedback for your team.

This guide walks you through every step of recording your screen in Canva, from setting up your design canvas to sharing the final video in your tasks or docs.

Why Use Canva Screen Recording with ClickUp Workflows

Screen recordings are powerful for visual collaboration. When connected to a ClickUp workflow, they help you:

• Show design changes instead of typing long comments
• Record quick how-to videos for teammates or clients
• Capture bugs, UX flows, and project walk-throughs
• Create reusable training videos for your workspace

Canva’s built-in recording tools make this simple, so you don’t need extra software to support your ClickUp processes.

Step 1: Open a Design to Record in Canva

Before you start, choose the format that best matches how you’ll share the recording in ClickUp.

1. Log into your Canva account.

2. Click Create a design.

3. Select a layout such as:

   • Presentation (great for training or project updates)
   • Video (ideal for social or marketing clips)
   • Custom size (if you need a specific resolution)

Once your design opens, you’ll use it as the background or frame for your screen recording before you attach the final result inside ClickUp tasks.

Step 2: Access Canva’s Screen Record Feature

Canva includes a built-in recording option in the editor, which you can use for both presentations and video designs.

1. With your design open, look at the top toolbar.

2. Click the Apps or More button in the editor sidebar if the option is not visible.

3. Search for Record or find the Present and record / Record yourself option.

Depending on the template, you may see a Present & record button directly in the top-right corner. This is especially common in presentation designs you may later link inside ClickUp dashboards or docs.

Step 3: Choose Screen, Camera, or Both

Canva lets you customize how you capture content, which is useful if you’re preparing a video update to embed in ClickUp.

When you open the recording tool, you’ll generally see options like:

• Screen only: Great for product demos or interface tutorials.
• Camera only: Ideal for talking-head updates or announcements.
• Screen and camera: Best for personal, engaging walkthroughs.

Next, Canva will ask you to pick your input devices:

• Select the correct microphone for clear audio.
• Select the right camera if you’re recording your face.

Take a few seconds to speak and verify the audio levels before recording a video update for your ClickUp project.

Step 4: Share Your Screen in Canva

If you choose to capture your screen, your browser will prompt you to select what to share. This is the core of how you’ll demonstrate processes and then attach the clip in ClickUp.

1. Click Share screen when your browser asks for permission.

2. Choose one of the following:

   • Entire screen – best for full desktop workflows.
   • Window – to record one app only, such as a website or specific tool.
   • Browser tab – ideal for capturing a web app or a single page.

3. Confirm and click Share.

Position any windows or browser tabs you’ll show, including ClickUp if you are recording a project walkthrough or task management tutorial.

Step 5: Start Recording Your Canva Session

Once your screen and devices are set, you can begin recording. This is when you perform the steps or narration you want your ClickUp users or teammates to see.

1. Press the Start recording button inside Canva.

2. Wait for any countdown timer to finish.

3. Walk through your process, such as:

   • Demonstrating how to edit a design
   • Reviewing brand elements and guidelines
   • Walking through a web flow or feature
   • Explaining feedback for a ClickUp task

Try to speak clearly and keep your explanation concise. If you make a mistake, you can always stop, delete, and re-record before sharing in ClickUp.

Step 6: Stop, Review, and Trim Your Recording

When you finish, you can refine your video before sending it to your team or attaching it to ClickUp documentation.

1. Click the Stop or Finish recording button in Canva.

2. Canva will process your clip and place it on your design timeline or slide.

3. Press Play to review the recording.

If you want to polish the video:

• Drag the clip edges on the timeline to trim the start or end.
• Cut long pauses or mistakes.
• Add text overlays or annotations to highlight key areas.
• Insert shapes, arrows, or callouts.

These edits help viewers quickly understand your message when they open the video from a ClickUp task or doc.

Step 7: Download or Share the Recording

After editing, you’re ready to export and use the recording in your workspace, including inside ClickUp.

1. Click the Share or Download button in the top-right corner of Canva.

2. Choose MP4 Video as the file type to keep motion and audio.

3. Select the appropriate quality settings.

4. Click Download.

Once the video is saved locally, you can:

• Upload it as an attachment to a ClickUp task.
• Embed it in a ClickUp Doc or knowledge base article.
• Share it via chat or comments for asynchronous reviews.

This keeps all design-related recordings centralized in your project system.

Advanced Tips: Using Canva Screen Recordings in ClickUp

To get the most out of your recordings, align your Canva videos with your ClickUp structure and documentation approach.

Organize Videos by ClickUp Space or Folder

Create a simple naming convention so teammates immediately know where a recording belongs:

• Marketing_Sprint-12_Landing-Page-Review.mp4
• Product_UX-Flow-Onboarding_Tutorial.mp4

Upload or link these recordings to related tasks, so everything stays connected.

Use ClickUp Docs for Video-Based Training

Build training hubs by embedding your Canva recordings inside ClickUp Docs. Pair each video with:

• Step-by-step written instructions
• Screenshots or key frames from the recording
• Checklists that match the process shown

This hybrid approach supports different learning styles and makes onboarding faster.

Collect Feedback and Action Items in ClickUp

When you share a Canva recording, use ClickUp tasks or comments to capture:

• Requested design changes
• Questions from stakeholders
• Decisions and approvals

That way, the video becomes a visual reference, while actionable next steps live in your project management system.
