Canvas Skill

To display local HTML content on connected devices, use the Canvas Skill to present HTML/CSS/JS files from a canvas host URL directly into the WebView of connected OpenClaw nodes. This renders interactive web content without separate native screens.

Yes, you can control the WebView during a live presentation by executing JavaScript and navigating to new URLs. The Canvas Skill supports runtime manipulation, allowing you to trigger in-page interactivity and direct the canvas to specific targets.

Live reload works across Mac, iOS, and Android nodes for interactive demos. The Canvas Skill automatically reloads the WebView canvas when local HTML files change, enabling rapid iteration and instant updates on all connected devices.

The best way to capture screenshots of a local web folder during a remote presentation is using the Canvas Skill. It renders your local HTML files on connected nodes and supports screenshot capture directly from the WebView.

To present an interactive dashboard to a specific OpenClaw node, place your HTML file in the canvas root directory and use the command: canvas action:present node:<node-id> target:<full-url-to-your-html-file>.

Your connected node fails to fetch the correct HTML file when the canvas host is not reachable or properly bound. Ensure the canvas host is bound according to gateway.bind settings and uses the __openclaw__/canvas/ path for correct file retrieval.
