The video tutorial explains how to count subarrays with a given sum using prefix sums. It starts with an introduction to the problem, followed by a naive solution and an efficient solution using prefix sums. The algorithm is explained in detail, and the implementation is demonstrated with tests to verify the solution. The tutorial also references a similar modulus problem from a previous section.
