OR
Choose Browse and search for your video file in your computer
You will be redirected to Choose media where you can see your video been processed.

How to add a video in Content
A video can be added in Content either as a separate topic within a (sub)module or embedded in a web-page or in a description.
The video below will explain how to add a video to a (sub)module.
To add a video as a separate item to your course, in the green navigation bar:

- Click on Existing Activities
A drop-down menu will appear, scroll all the way down

- Click on the video you want to add
- Click Insert Content
The video will be placed in the (sub)module.
When you select multiple videos in the Media Chooser, a playlist will be created. The item will be called ‘Playlist' as well. You can include up to 12 videos and the order in which you select the videos in the Media Chooser, will decide the order in the playlist.
You can now adjust the title of the new YuJa topic.

- Scroll all the way down
- Click YuJa Media Chooser

Add the YuJa channel of the course in Brightspace - YuJa All Videos
If you want your students to be able to see all the videos of the course in one overview, you can provide a link to the YuJa channel of the course.
Note that your students cannot access the channel via the navigation bar, in the way that you can as a lecturer. Via the link 'YuJa all videos' is thus the only way.
In this channel, the weblectures and livestreams of the weblectures will automatically be made available to your students. Via this route they can see all the weblectures, livestreams and other video contents of the channel in your course. If you want to learn more about the channels, click here.
All the people in the course will have access to the course channel.
To do add a link to the YuJa channel into your course, in the green navigation bar:
- Click on Content
- Select the (sub)module where the video needs to be added
- Click on Existing Activities
- Choose External Learning Tools
Scroll down the pop-up window that will appear,
- Select YuJa All Videos
A new item named YuJa All Videos will be placed at the bottom of the page with a link to the YuJa channel of the course.
You can now adjust the title of this new YuJa topic. However, for students to be able to find the channel, we recommend not to adjust it.
- Click on the downward arrow close to the title
- Click on Edit Properties in Place
The view will change. You are now in the Edit Properties in Place mode.
- Click on the title
