Enable downloads for YuJa video

To protect an instructor’s intellectual property, YuJa video cannot be downloaded with the default video permission settings. An instructor can adjust these permissions to make it possible. This must be done in the YuJa Media Library.

The permissions set in the Media Library will govern access to the video wherever it is embedded (e.g. in Brightspace Content) or shared.



Enable video downloads

  1. Access the Media Library at brocku.video.yuja.com or through a Brightspace site’s Course Tools menu.

  2. Find the video. The library is arranged by upload date and there is a search option in the top-left.

  3. Hover over a video’s thumbnail and select More…, which will open a pop-up Media Details window. These options will not appear if a video has just been uploaded and is still processing.
