You like working with Prezi making awesome presentations. You already know the platform, and your team is also familiar with it. You can use the Send to an External URL after creating the best presentation possible. Note that you'll need the Prezi Video App installed for this.
There are a few different ways to use Prezi for video conferences. You can either:
Join an existing video session within Prezi by providing its link or meeting ID and the password (if using Zoom).
Or, select the “Prezi Virtual Camera” from the camera list while you're already in a video session.
Or, start a new video session in Prezi (after connecting your video conferencing provider account).
To ensure everything is properly configured beforehand, we recommend utilizing either option 1 or 2 as outlined below.
Join an existing Zoom session within Prezi by providing its link or meeting ID and the password.
Schedule a session in Zoom with the date, time, and name that you want.
Choose the session for which you are looking to use for your session. If you want to set up a session, select Content > Talks.
On the right-hand side of the session you want to connect, click the ... menu icon to display your available actions. Click on the Manage Talk link.
On the next screen, you have several options for broadcasting the talk. Select Send to an External URL under the Advanced option when using your webinar platform.
Add your session's invite link in the box provided.
Then, once your content is good to go on Prezi and you're ready to go live, click the Video Conference button in Prezi.
Select Zoom Meetings.
Once you choose your app and log in to authenticate the connection, you can enter the details of the session you had scheduled already in Zoom Meetings.
You're all set! Now you can showcase both yourself and your presentation in the same video feed, leveraging all the features offered by Zoom Meetings.
Select the “Prezi Virtual Camera” from the camera list while you're already in a video session
Schedule a session in your chosen video conferencing provider that Prezi connects with: Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, GoToMeeting or other.
Add your session's information under the Send to an External URL under Advanced Options.
At the session's scheduled start time, make sure that your presentation is open in the Prezi Video app and that you've clicked the Video Conference button.
Then start the live stream from your chosen provider, i.e. Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, GoToMeeting etc.
Find the video settings button in your chosen live stream provider that allows you to switch camera feed, then select "Prezi Virtual Camera".
Important Things to Note:
Check the attendee flow: Your attendees will not be auto-registered for your session. This means your webinar provider might ask them for registration before joining the session. Check your session's settings if you'd like to turn this off.
Check-in early: If you'd like a quick mic and camera check before the session starts, make sure you and your Speakers join before the session starts. You might even want to schedule the session 15 minutes early to complete these checks and go over any last-minute essentials!
