You should have already a default folder called Default Collection.
In this file you have the possibility to:
- Create NEW FOLDER
- UPLOAD a new video to My Media
- Shared With Me: Here you can access all the videos personally shared with you by other users.
In the Shared With Me section, it is not possible to create folders nor to upload contents.Ā
How to publish a video to your YuJa course channel
Your students cannot access the channel via the green navigation bar in Brightspace. They can only access it when you provide a link to the channel as a content item in Brightspace. You can find here Add the YuJa channel of the course in Brightspace - YuJa All Videos how you can do that.
Weblectures and Livestreams are placed in the course channel automatically. All videos included as topics or as part of a description or HTML file via the Media Chooser in Brightspace will also be added to your course channel. Click here to learn how to add a video via the Media Chooser.
Videos from the library that you do not own can also be added to the channel by searching and adding them via the Media Chooser.
Content that you own, can be added to the channel directly via the Media Library. Note that adding a video to the channel, does not result in adding a video to Brightspace.
There are two ways of publishing your videos to a course channel:
Drag and drop the video to the course channel
