As a journalist, I have been writing articles – earlier for different newspapers, magazines, and now for my news sites. Recently, I decided to develop a YouTube channel so that I could deliver my content through videos also.
After using a couple of video-editing platforms, I zeroed in on Canva which is a good multimedia development platform. Since I am not an expert video developer, I created a few crude videos during the past couple of months and uploaded them on my RMN YouTube Channel, which is a fledgling video channel.
I often use Google Chrome browser for my work and have been using it for Canva also. I did not face any problem while using Canva on Chrome. However, on May 19, 2023, I encountered a weird problem, as I was not able to create new videos or presentations and could not edit my existing designs.
I could see my designs on the ‘Home’ page of my Canva account, but when I tried to edit them, they were not visible on the edit page. Rather, I would see a blank screen while editing the existing designs or creating new videos or other designs such as presentations or thumbnails.
I informed Canva about the problem I was facing. The Canva team has been quite responsive and helpful. But even after exchanging multiple emails for about a week, we could not resolve the issue.
I am able to use Canva on my mobile phone, but it does not work on my computer with Chrome. I tried it on the Firefox browser where it works. However, some major Canva features have not been configured on Firefox. Canva confirmed it.
That means I am not able to use Canva on Chrome because of the blank-screen problem and cannot use it on Firefox because of feature limitation.
I had another option of using Canva on Microsoft Edge browser, but I found it quite cluttered and cumbersome to use. Also, I fear Microsoft Edge browser conflicts with my operating system as I use a Linux-based system.
In order to get my problem resolved, on May 25, 2023, I created a video to explain my problem. I shared that video on my RMN YouTube Channel so that I could get help from the Canva development community and also informed about it to Canva.
So far, however, I have not received any solution to use Canva on Chrome smoothly. The video that I created is given below.
