YuJa | How to upload a video to YuJa

There are two ways to upload a video to YuJa. You can do it either directly via Brightspace content or via Course tools to upload the video while being on the YuJa platform. In both cases, the uploaded videos will be stored in your personal YuJa folder.

Without adding the video via Brightspace the videos will not be accessible to the students.

How to upload a new video via Brightspace content

This option allows you to upload a video in your personal YuJa folder while being on the Brightspace page of your course. In this scenario you upload the video using the Media Chooser.

To reach the Media chooser in your course, in the green navigation bar:

  1. Click on Content
  2. Select a (sub)module

If you want to add your video to Brightspace right after uploading we advise you to choose the (sub)module where the video will be added.

  1. Click on Existing Activities

A drop-down menu will appear, scroll all the way down:

  1. Click on YuJa Media Chooser

The Media Chooser will open in a pop-up window.

To upload using the Media Chooser,

  1. Select the tab Upload Media
  2. (Optional) Click Add Schema Tags and fill in the information you want

This action needs to be done before uploading the video.

It is suggested to add predefined tags, to make it easier to retrieve the video file later on. This also ensures that the video is not only stored under a title, but also based on other information (i.e. keywords, publication year, name of the presenter).
