How to Add a Live TikTok Video in Your Canva Design


Words and images are not enough sometimes to convert sales. Shopify designers use videos as a more efficient way of explaining their product or service. This is where video embedding comes in for platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Meta etc. But, when you’re using Canva, how do you embed a live TikTok video in your Canva design?

You turned your Canva design into a sleek Shopify page through our tool Canvify but just having a pretty store isn’t enough (we admit that). You need to keep things fresh, engaging, and trendy. And what’s trendier than embedding live TikTok videos? Here’s how you can do it in Canva and update your design to Shopify store.

Adding a Tiktok Video to Canva Website Design

1. Open Your Website Design in Canva

Remember that Canva template you used to convert your design into a store? Yes, we need that still. Don’t trash it… open it!

3. Search for ‘Embed’

In the Apps section, use the search bar to find the “Embed” app. You’re looking for something that’ll let you paste a link and magically turn it into an embedded video. Canva really knows how to make life easier (just like us).

Got your TikTok link ready? Great. Paste it into the link bar. Canva will then do its thing and convert it into an embedded video. Boom, you’ve just integrated a piece of viral content into your design. You can also choose from other selections like Instagram posts or even Google Maps if you want. Embed gives you tons of options to choose from.
