YuJa Video Platform

YuJa is a video content management system for creating, editing, storing, and sharing video and audio files. It serves as a centralized, secure place for recorded instructional videos, flipped classroom videos, TCU campus events, and more. It is equipped with accessibility features such as captions, bookmarks, and downloadable support files.YuJa

The YuJa dashboard comes with built-in video analytics, a web-based video editor, and a unique search engine that helps your students review material mentioned or shown in their course videos.

Please review the “Getting Started with YuJa” section below for additional important information on getting started, especially the first time you use the web-based “Browser Capture Studio” option. If you have questions about logging in or using YuJa, please see the “Getting Help with YuJa” section below. 

 

What can be recorded with YuJa?”

  • Videos and mini-lectures that present class content. YuJa’s software runs on Windows, Mac OS, iOS, and Android so instructors can easily record class videos at the office, from home, or in the field.
  • Live webcasts. YuJa can live stream your lecture to students on other campuses, at field or internship sites, and in their homes.
  • Student assignments. Having students create and submit video assignments allows students to demonstrate skills they have learned in the course. YuJa makes it easy for students to record assignments and submit them for review.

YuJa is replacing Panopto as TCU’s video solution

All Panopto videos as of 8/26/2024 are being migrated into the YuJa environment automatically. Any videos created in Panopto after this date will need to be manually moved into YuJa. Faculty can reach out to the Koehler Center for assistance: elearning@tcu.edu. Next, any links to Panopto videos in your TCU Online courses will be automatically replaced with links to the videos in YuJa for your convenience. Look for an announcement on when this will occur.

Even after the videos are automatically uploaded in YuJa, you will still have access to videos stored in Panopto until May 2025.

This change will provide our community with a more robust and user-friendly video solution to support teaching, learning, and collaboration. The decision to transition to YuJa was driven by the platform’s enhanced capabilities and improved integration with our existing systems. Some of the key benefits include:

  • Streamlined Interface: YuJa offers a modern and intuitive interface that makes it easier for users to create, manage, and share videos.
  • Improved D2L Integration: YuJa seamlesly integrates with D2L, allowing you to embed videos directly into your course.
  • Expanded Video Editing Tools: YuJa provides a comprehensive suite of video editing tools, empowering you to easily trim, splice, and enhance your recordings.
  • Flexible Video Hosting: With YuJa, you can host and share videos securely, both within TCU and with external stakeholders as needed.

To learn more, see the resource sections below!

When recording on your computer, YuJa has a Windows PC or Mac desktop recorder, as well as a web-based recorder called Browser Capture Studio. When choosing which recording option to use, you might consider the following:

  • Windows PC or Mac desktop recorder:
    • designed for a robust, full-feature experience. It allows you to record both simple and more in-depth presentations utilizing multiple video inputs from your computer. The desktop recorder has the ability to capture multiple programs on multiple screens simultaneously, and it gives you the ability to adjust the individual settings of each capture device before you begin recording. The desktop recorder also allows you to record offline and then upload your recording once an internet connection has been reestablished. You will need administrative rights on your computer to download and run the desktop recorder software. Learn more about recording with the PC desktop recorder. Or, click here to learn more about the Mac desktop recorder.
  • YuJa Browser Capture Studio:
    • allows you to easily record audio, video, and other media from within a web browser. It is designed to allow you to record a simple presentation (webcam, audio, and screen capture) anywhere you have a stable internet connection. YuJa’s intuitive user interface makes it easy to select your input sources. With the web-based recorder, videos are recorded directly into your YuJa account. Since it is a web-based recorder, there is no required software to download. Click here to learn more about the YuJa Browser Capture Studio.
    • Supported Computer Devices: the latest ChromeOS, Windows 10, or macOS 10.15 or higher
    • Supported Web Browsers: Latest version of Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, or Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based)
    • Privacy and Security Settings: These would be enabled within the browser settings of the chosen browser you are using.
    • Getting started tip: The first time you use the Browser Capture Studio, you will see a login screen that prompts you to login with YuJa credentials. Simply CLOSE that window and reopen the Browser Capture Studio option again, and you will see the space where you can begin recording.
