I really enjoyed the Prezi session Steve did on Saturday. However, I'm a bit confused about embedding YouTube videos into my Prezi. Anyone know exactly how I can do that?

Hi Paula, (I sent this reply privately but realized that other people may have the same question so I'm reposting it here.
The PDF handout that was one of the links in our follow-up resources has some helpful information about using the different features of Prezi.
http://activehistory.co.uk/updates/history-teachers/prezi-a-quickstart-guide-for-teachers-and-students/ (Russel Tarr-ActiveHistory.co.uk: Downloadable quick start guide for Prezi with examples of presentations on Prezi)
This is what he included related to media/YouTube:
Click the "Media" > "File" bubble. Choose a picture file from your computer to upload to Prezi. Use the "Place" menu to position, tilt and zoom the picture. NOTE: You can upload a movie file instead of a picture. The easiest way is to find a video on YouTube, copy its web address, then give it to www.keepvid.com and download it to your computer as an flv (Flash Video) file.
I just tried a test on a practice Prezi and those steps worked for me. So apparently the key is that you have to upload flv files. Hope that works for you. Peggy
