Hello,
Adding sound to a prezi is a great way to enhance the presentation of your ideas. Sound can be particularly useful for a prezi that you intend to embed on a website or play on a continuous loop.
This feature was created with voiceovers in mind and is therefore primarily intended to create a better presentation experience for prezis that are displayed online without a presenter.
There are two kinds of sounds you can add to a prezi.
The first is a background track that will continuously play whenever your prezi is viewed.
Alternatively, you can add sounds to specific path steps. These will begin to play only when you reach the chosen path step. They will stop playing when you move to the next path step.

3It is time for path linked audio.
Without it the whole idea of a prezi is dull and lifeless.
Remember - in video, the sound is 75% of the production.
Prezi cannot live without audio. -
I’m
disappointed
4Audio in Prezi sounds like it should be high on the developer priority list. If you're giving the presentation and talking at the same time Prezi is great. If it's posted on the web then audio is essential. Is there a timescale for adding proper audio support without needing any flash software (that most people don't have). -
I’m
sad
4The moment you support formats other than flv I'll start using Prezi for lots of things, but at the moment it's just too much of a hassle to get the audio synced.

3You can use a screen capture movie maker like CamStudio. Just fire it up, read your script while clicking at the appropriate times. When you are done, it becomes a video that is portable or can be posted anywhere.

I am not seeing the options to add sound to a presentation. Is this feature only available to paying customers? And not those who have a free account? -

I'm having a problem adding more than one 'Add voice-over to Path Step' in one presentation. Is it normal? -
-
I have the same problem. Menus to add sound do not exist as described in the document referenced in the link posted by Adam.
Here's an image of what my Prezi desktop looks like:

Dear Anthony,
prezi desktop is released always with a little delay compared to the prezi.com version of prezi
please update your desktop (you can find 'check for updates' in the desktop's help menu) -
-
I didnt even know there was a desktop version until I read you response. I just downloaded it a few moments ago. To clarify the image in the posting above is from the web version and not the desktop version.
Neither the web base online version or the desktop version have the functionality for background sound. My menus for both versions look exactly the same. -
-
Dear Anthony,
for some of our users updates are rolled out in about a week's time
let me know if you don't have access yet -

Dear Prezi-Team,
I do you have a question regarding the possibility to add music in my prezi. I would like to add three different songs. First songs starts from the beginning and should end after a couple of path steps. Afterwards song two is supposed to start which shouls also continue for a couple of path steps. Same thing for song three. Is it possible to keep on playing a song for a couple of paths steps?
Thanks for your help in advance-
Hi Bernhard Mitter,
unfortunately I don't think this is possible in the current version as background sound will play throughout the Prezi and using frames for the sound will stop as soon as you move on.
However, you could make it work (sort of) using the fade in feature which will allow you to bring up content during sound playback, where content is within a single frame. See here for the Fade in feature https://prezi.zendesk.com/entries/223...
So put your sound on the frame and then use the fade in feature to show the next content by clicking - it means being static on that frame though for a couple of clicks.
cheers

I am happy that people finally start to realize that the eyes are just one of the senses and that sound is at least as important! Be aware of the fact that the quality of your audio recording will be important since it will be played back on a lot of bad computerspeakers and headphones. So create a final mixdown that has been optimized for just that.
Great software for sharing ideas and emotions!

I was planning to use Pezi for my presentattion this saturday. I chosse prezi bevause the website mentioned that you could add 'sound' to a path - My presentation is about oral history' so you can imagine that it's a key issue!
However; I have the same problem as Anthony Johnson... I can't wait a week till the function to add sound suddenly appears? Is there no other way? It really took me some time to get the hang of it and now i'm confronted with the fact that i lost two days? -

i can help anyone who doesn't see sound yet to speed up deploy to them: please just email me your prezi account email address - to adam@prezi.com

I'm a new Prezi user and looking at this particular question in this forum I cannot see an answer to the need for recording your voice over the Prezi so it can be posted on the web or given as a conference presentation without me being present. Is this something that is available or in the pipeline for release ?
This would be the mother of all presentation media if it were available-

So, can music, voice, sound be added smoothly into this software? It is not yet clear to me after reading all the posts...it seems is not an easy task.

Hi,
I was hoping to add sound to paths and then sharemy latest presentation online, however, I've converted to files to mp3 and they play with my audio player on the laptop, then it looks like I have managed to get prezi to upload it, but when I try to play it in prezi, the track is 0 seconds long and nothing happens. Help?!
Thanks for the new addition, will be great if/ when I can get it to work! -

hm, there seems to be something with the codec settings of the mp3s you uploaded and our player.
As a workaround, please try saving and inserting them in a different format! (for example, m4a, flac, or even wav is perfect, anything that is NOT mp3)
(if you do this, it will force prezi to convert the audio, and that might solve the problem) -
-
Hmmm, right ok, I'll give it a go and let you know how it goes! Thanks

I'm planing to use prezi to make a few self-running presentation now that audio has been added. Thank you for that. I understand how audio can be added to the background or to a step in a path. But how do I synchronize fade-in animations to the audio.
I would like lines on a powerpoint style slide to fade in automatically as the speaker mentions them.
Is this possible or can you suggest a usable work-around, please.
I know I can record the screen using software like camtasia and then hit -> to manually make the correct timing, but I would love to use prezi only.
Thanks-
there is a workaround with the (add voice-over to path step) option, exploiting the fact that each path step with audio stays on screen for the length of the sound, you can split your mp3 to the lengths required for timing, and add them one-by-one to path steps.

I did this. Looks like it's the only way now, but it's quite a big hassle for my 14-minute presentation with over 100 slides. Moreover, for slides containing fade-in animations there's no recording feature within Prezi to record the time I hit to fade-in an image/line of text in sync with the voice-over.
I ended up having to record my whole presentation with my Camtasia.
This is a serious limitation in Prezi.
Hope the Prezi team would come up with a sync recording feature like what Powerpoint has with their 'Rehearse Timings' & 'Record Slide Show' -

I'm creating a prezi with two distinct moods in it: one for the problem, and another for the problem's resolution. All I am after is background music. Is it possible for background music to be applied to only a portion of the prezi? For example, I have 20 frames depicting the problem that I want one background music file for, and then the rest of the prezi is devoted to the solution. I'd really like another background music file for this 2nd portion of my prezi.
