Audio options


There are two ways of using sound in your Prezi. You can have looping background music, or you can have sounds that just play once at certain path points in your Prezi. There are obvious benefits to using both of these different options whether your Prezi is being showed online or in front of a live audience. By teaching you these techniques, it's our hope that you'll be able to come up with some really creative uses for sound that really take your Prezi skills to the next level.

Option 1 – looping the background music

Now obviously if you're delivering to a live audience and want background music you can just use your laptop or another audio device separated from your Prezi. That will save you the time and effort of trying to build it into your Prezi file, and of course in business, time is money. But what happens after the live presentation when people ask you "Can we have the presentation to review?"

Wouldn't it be great to give them exactly the same experience they had in...
