How should you present your mind map?
A lot of people present their prezi online. That's okay as long as you have a good and stable Internet connection. If you do not have a good Internet connection or if you're not sure about doing this, you better download your prezi for your presentation.
Engage thrusters
It doesn't matter which Prezi account you have. You can download your prezi and present it offline with any type of account. The YouTube videos you have added to your prezi cannot be played if you don't have an Internet connection. These movies are not inserted in to your prezi, it's a link to the YouTube movie. Other movies, which can be inserted by selecting From file (PDF, Video)... under Insert, will always play even without an Internet connection.
In your prezis, go to the prezi you want to download and click on the Download button. Click on Presenting (the one on the left-hand side) and then click on the Download button, as shown in the following screenshot. A ZIP file will download to your computer. This ZIP file contains everything you need to present, for both Windows and Mac. You don't need a browser and there is a built-in Flash Player.
Unzip the ZIP file and double-click on Prezi.exe if you are presenting on a Windows machine. The other prezi file is to present on a Mac.
The file will automatically open in the Flash Player. Click on the Fullscreen button in the bottom-right corner to show the prezi on a fullscreen as shown in the following screenshot. Now, you are ready to present!
If you want, you can use a remote to click through your presentation instead of using the keyboard arrows. A remote looks much more professional.
Note
Both the iPad and iPhone don't support Flash. However, you can download the free Prezi apps for both iPad and iPhone. Visit the links prezi.com/ipad/ and prezi.com/iphone/ for more information.
Objective complete – mini debriefing
In this task, we explained how you can present your prezi without an Internet connection. It's okay to present online, but your Internet connection must be stable and have enough bandwidth. If it's not working well, it might slow down your presentation and lead to frustration both for you and your audience.
