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.

• Log in directly through the YuJa website (UWinID and password required) at http://uwindsor.yuja.com 
• Ensure the University of Windsor Single-Sign-On is selected from the Login Using: drop-down. Click the Login button. When prompted, enter your UWin ID username and password, and you may have to authenticate with multi-factor authentication. (Your YuJa account will be provisioned as a student account upon your first login.)
• A YuJa account is not required to view a video unless the author has requested that you authenticate first.

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.

YuJa Retention Policy

To maintain storage quotas, we are introducing a retention policy for the YuJa platform. Any file that has not been viewed in 750 days (a little over 2 years) will be sent to the owners recycle bin. You will receive an email from noreply@YuJa.com when you have content moved to your recycle bin and you will have 30 days to access your recycle bin and restore it before it is deleted. 7 days before it is deleted you will receive a second email warning you that the content will be permanently deleted from your recycle bin. This retention policy will go into effect as of May 1^st 2025. If you have any questions or concerns please submit a YuJa Team Dynamix Ticket.

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