Upload to YuJa

Existing media can be uploaded to YuJa via the embedding process in Brightspace or directly to the YuJa Media Library (perhaps in bulk).

Upload via the Insert Stuff tool

1. Open any instance of the text editor in Brightspace.

2. Select Insert Stuff → YuJa Media Chooser.

3. Just below the Media Chooser title, click the Upload Media tab in the centre.

4. Select the type of media that will be uploaded (video, audio, etc.)

5. Find the video file where it is stored on your computer and drag-and-drop it into the box with the dotted outline. Alternatively, click the Browse button to search through your files and find and attach the video.

6. Upon selecting a file, the media will begin uploading. This may take some time, depending on the file’s size.

   1. The video can thereafter be inserted into a Brightspace site or shared externally.

7. If immediately being embedded after uploading, scroll down to the More Actions drop-down menu, and change it to Upload and Insert Content. This will update the window to display a preview of the video.

8. Select Insert to have the video embedded onto the text box.

Below is a video showing the steps to uploading a video to YuJa and embedding it into the Content area of a site.

The uploading and loading process for this embedded video is very fast because it is only 6 seconds long. Videos of substantial length will take some time to upload.
