Overview

YuJa is the University of Windsor enterprise video platform system. It can be used as a stand-alone tool or within your LMS course site (instructors). YuJa allows you to create, upload, and share your videos and other media and have your videos auto-captioned for accessibility. There is an online, easy-to-use video editor and a mobile app. It is available for all campus users.
 

Important Notice: 

Users currently trying to log in to the YuJa Software Capture desktop application might experience trouble and getting an error message preventing it from opening. While we work to fix this, you can launch from the YuJa website instead. First, log in to http://uwindsor.yuja.com.

Click the "Create Recording" button in the top middle of the screen.

In the window that opens, make sure in the drop down menu "Record from your Windows PC or Mac" is selected and click the start button.

This should launch your YuJa Software Capture properly.

Accessing YuJa from Brightspace

There are several locations within Brightspace to access YuJa.  YuJa is available from the Insert Stuff icon within any area using the text editor.  From there, you can select the YuJa Media Chooser to embed videos you have on your YuJa account.  

Instructors can also access YuJa in a Content section from the Existing Activities menu option and select the YuJa Quicklink.  This is also the ONLY location where you should embed a quiz into your course site to have the grading function properly.  More on embedding YuJa content from Brightspace's support article.

Below are links to the steps and requirements on the YuJa official documentation site for using YuJa.
