YuJa has an app that you can download to your Apple or Android phone. This app allows users to record videos, upload videos from your phone to YuJa, and access your videos. If you post your videos to your course channel, students can also access those videos from the app. See the section on Channels below for more information. 

Sign into the app

Once you download the free app, use the following instructions to sign in to your YuJa account. 

1. Type “Davidson-Davie Community College” into the box for “organization”. 

2. Use the drop-down box to choose the option for “Davidson-Davie Community College Single-Sign-On.

3. Use your Davidson-Davie SSO credentials to sign in.

Once you complete this step, you should be able to see your “My Media” page in the app. 

Record a Video with the app

1. Click the plus (+) at the bottom of the screen to add media to your YuJa account.

2. Click “Record Content” to open the recording interface.

3. Now you’re ready to record and you have a few settings that you can use to set up your recording. 

   1. The icon that looks like a camera can be used to flip the camera so that it records you instead of what you are aiming at. 

   2. The red button in the middle is the button that starts the recording.

   3. The default quality is 720p. If you tap the 720p, it will change to other levels of quality.

   4. If you only want to record audio, not video, tap the word “audio”.

4. Start recording by hitting the red button. The circle will change to a square indicating that it is recording. When you are done, tap the square and you will be given the option to “Retake” or “Use” the video. 

5. If you choose “Use”, you will be able to title the recording and choose a folder in which to store the recording within your YuJa video platform. 

Upload videos from your Phone

If you record a video on your phone and want to upload it to YuJa, the app is an easy way to do that. 

1. Click the plus (+) at the bottom of the screen to add media to your YuJa account.

2. Click “Upload from Library” or “Upload from Files” depending on where you’ve stored the video.

3. This will open your library or files respectively and you can select the video you want to upload.

4. Give the video a title and select a folder in which to store the recording within your YuJa video platform. 

Channels

The channels option in the app will allow students to view videos from your classes if you have posted videos to your course channel. When students click on the Channels option at the bottom of the screen, they will see folders for classes that they are in and, if you use this function, clicking on the folder will give them access to class videos. Channels are like playlists that you can organize with folders just like you do your My Media files. If you post videos to Moodle without adding them to your channel, students can only access those videos through Moodle and not through the app. To learn more about using your Course Channel, read our Course Channels tutorial.

Benefits of this app

• You can easily make videos anywhere using your phone and upload to YuJa (lab experiments, tours, first hand experiences, special events, real world scenarios)

• Students who don’t have regular access to a computer can make videos with their phones for assignments, projects, presentations, etc. and upload them to YuJa where they can later be shared or uploaded to Moodle

Limitations of this app

• You can’t record multiple screens or powerpoint presentations when recording in the app; you can only record what your camera can capture

• You can’t edit videos in the app 

• You can’t upload videos to Moodle from the app

• Students can only access class videos that you’ve published to your Course Channel
