First Time Set-Up
No download is required to simply view video content on YuJa, but before recording a video with YuJa for the first time, you must download and install the YuJa Software Capture application for Mac/PC. Many features, including recording, are also available on the mobile app for phone/tablet. Using screen capture and/or your webcam and microphone, this application creates a recording which may be shared/viewed via emailed link, on Blackboard, or directly on the UND YuJa site.
To create a recording with YuJa, you must use the Software Capture application. It's a one-time download, so you won’t need to repeat the installation process for your next recording. Please review YuJa's support page for more information about the system requirements.
Download & Install on a Mac/PC
To get started, log in to Blackboard and navigate to any course that uses YuJa. Check the Content area for a link* titled UND YuJa or something similar. Select the link and the UND YuJa site will open within Blackboard and log you in automatically.
*If you don’t see a YuJa link, access YuJa using one of the methods below.
- Blackboard Ultra: Select Books & Tools from the Details & Action menu on the right and scroll down to choose UND YuJa or Browse all course tools to located UND YuJa, OR
- Log in directly at und.yuja.com using your NDUS.Identifier username and password - the same login you use for Blackboard and your UND email account.*
At the top of the YuJa homepage, click CREATE RECORDING, and a pop-up will prompt you to download and install the recording software (available for Mac and PC). After it’s installed, select Launch Application within the same pop-up to automatically open the desktop application.
When launching the YuJa Software Capture, you may be prompted to log in. From the first drop-down menu, select UND Credentials and select Continue to be redirected to UND’s YuJa log-in page. Enter your NDUS.Identifier username and password and click Sign in (3). This completes the installation – you may close the window and return to your Backboard class site. YuJa will continue to run, and can be accessed from your dock/taskbar or searching your computer for it.
Download & Install on a Mobile Device
The YuJa mobile app is available for free on both iOS and Android devices. Just search "YuJa" in the App Store or the Google Play store. Please visit the YuJa Help site for more information.
Known Issue: YuJa has found that, in rare instances, the new
YuJa App Express Installer may suddenly stop working as users download the YuJa app. The YuJa product team is working to improve this behavior. If you encounter this problem, please
download the full installer from your YuJa My Profile/Downloads page, instead.
