Changing the document’s background color in Canva is strangely difficult.

First you need to make sure you are in the correct kind of Canva document. The quickest way I could find to ensure this is to create a custom design and ignore the presets.

Then you should be able to see the document color picker on the top left.

Please be sure to leave a “Thanks Wendy!” on the video or view it all the way through and click on another video. Either of those two things are like leaving virtual free “tips” on the video because they both tell YouTube to share the video more. Thank you for your support!
