Overview of this book

If you want to learn Prezi, and specifically design within Prezi, this is the book for you. Perhaps you already know a bit about Prezi but have never used it, or perhaps you have used Prezi before but want to learn how to incorporate your own custom design elements. In either case, this book will get you up and running quickly. It would be helpful to have a bit of familiarity with basic design concepts and the use of Prezi, but prior experience is not essential.

Adding external content

Along with uploading your own custom content, you may wish to embed content already hosted online. This can easily be done for both Google images and YouTube videos. You may wish to pull in your own content this way if you have previously uploaded it. Alternatively, this feature can be useful for pulling in content created by others without having to try to download it while you are unauthorized. We will explore how to add both Google images and YouTube videos in this final section of the chapter.

First, let's look at adding Google images to our presentation. The initial steps are the same as with adding an image, as covered earlier in the chapter, but we will recap them here as well for completeness:

Using the same Prezi as for previous tasks, open the Insert menu from the top options bar.
Click on the first option, Image…, to launch the Insert image side panel.
