How is audio inserted?

As you hopefully know by now, Prezi can handle video files (refer the Chapter 3, Inserting a Video) and it's this video feature that your audio can piggyback a ride on to end up inside your Prezi file.

The following screenshot should give you a basic understanding of how this is done:

Until inserting audio becomes part of the Prezi software, (fingers crossed it'll be soon) you will have to convert your audio files into video format to use them on your Prezi canvas.

What this means is that the techniques explained in the rest of this chapter are really just a workaround to trick Prezi into thinking you're using video, which technically you will be. It'll all become clear throughout the chapter, and trust us; it will definitely set your Prezis apart from the rest of the crowd and get you to Prezi Master Status.

There are two different routes you can take to use audio in Prezi, so we'll explore them both in detail here and hopefully your Prezis will be making lots of noise by the end of the chapter.
