Canva

With the «Canva» app you play a Canva design on your screens via its embed link. Changes to the design in Canva appear without exporting again.

Design content directly in Canva with thousands of templates and get it onto the display in a few clicks, with no design experience needed. All you need is the design's «Smart embed link». If you want to connect your Canva account directly, use the «Canva Integration» app.

• An active revolutionSCREEN account with access to my.rstv.app.
• A canva.com account with the desired design.
• A compatible Player (see note below).
• At least one set-up screen.

In the sidebar on the left, click «Apps» and at the top click «zum App-Store» (to the app store).

Scroll to the «Alle» (All) list and click the «Canva» tile. Use the category buttons to narrow down the list.

The app's detail view opens. If it is not yet installed, first click «Installiere» (Install). Then click «Neue Instanz» (New instance). «App Guide» opens a quick guide.

Under «Apps › Meine Apps» (My apps) you see all instances of the app as tiles. Use «Neue Instanz» (New instance) at the top right to create another one, and click a tile to open an existing one.

In the editor, hover over the title and click the pencil to give the instance a name. A new instance shows «Kein Name angegeben» (No name given) in red until then. At the top right you choose whether the preview appears in portrait or landscape.

On canva.com, open your design or create a new one. Click «Share» at the top right.

In the «Share» menu, select the «Embed» option.

Copy the «Smart embed link» with «Copy». You then paste this link into the «Smart Embed URL» field in my.rstv.app.

All settings are on the left; on the right the live preview immediately shows how the instance looks on the screen. Use the arrow next to the card to collapse the settings.

• Smart Embed URL: the «Smart embed link» copied from Canva. The design then appears in the preview.
• Dauer: display time per slide in seconds.
• Totale Folien: number of pages (slides) in the design.

Canva shows several posts per instance one after another. When you use the instance in a playlist or a layout, you set how long it runs via the element duration. To do so, click the element's duration. This logic applies to all apps with several posts per instance.

In the «Elementdauer bearbeiten!» (Edit element duration!) window, the toggle determines two variants. It is usually called «pro Post», for presentations «pro Slide». Use «Confirm» to apply the setting.

Variant 1: toggle OFF (total duration)
The set time applies to the whole instance. Example 00:01:00: the instance runs for one minute. During this time the posts change in sequence and start over if needed. So not necessarily all posts are shown.

Variant 2: toggle ON (duration per post)
The set time applies to each post. Example 00:00:10 with 12 posts: each post appears for exactly 10 seconds, the instance runs for 2 minutes in total. The list then shows «pro Post» or «pro Slide» below the duration.

Save the instance at the top right with «Speichern & Schliessen» (Save & close).

Add to a playlist: open the playlist, select the «Apps» tab on the right, click the app and then the instance. The instance is added immediately.

Add to a layout: open the layout and click the pencil on the desired section.

In the «Inhalt für Abschnitt bearbeiten» (Edit content for section) window, use «Inhalt hinzufügen» (Add content) to add the instance. On the right of each element, set the schedule via «Täglich» (Daily).

Then click «Veröffentlichen» (Publish) in the playlist or layout. As long as it still says «Entwurf, Veröffentlichung erforderlich» (Draft, publishing required), the screen still shows the old state.
