FAQs
Make sure to click directly on the video clip – not the timeline or other elements. Sometimes you need to click twice (but don’t double-click).
Will muting affect my video quality?
No, muting your video won’t impact the visual quality. You’re only adjusting the audio track.
Can I unmute the video later?
Yes! If you change your mind, just adjust the volume slider back up to your desired level.
Does this work on mobile devices?
Yes, the Canva app works great for quick video edits, including audio adjustments.
What if my audio is still playing?
Try clearing your cache, reinstalling the app, or using a different browser. Sometimes downloading the video will fix audio issues.
