How to Start Recording Your Voice in Canva 🎤
Step 1: Access the Recording Feature

Step 2: Set Up Your Microphone
When using this feature for the first time, Canva will ask for microphone access permission. Select your preferred microphone device in the settings.
Step 3: Configure Recording Settings
You can disable the camera if you only want to record audio. The system will show a placeholder image instead.
