FAQs

YuJa is the video content management solution that is replacing VidGrid at UNK, UNL and UNO. It is being offered as an additional video content management solution at UNMC and may also be used for non-academic video needs.

YuJa Mobile is the mobile app that allows users to access YuJa Media Channels, Mobile Capture and Mobile Upload.  

YuJa provides users unlimited streaming (e.g. bandwidth), storage and captioning.

No, there are no restrictions. However, please remember that all videos that are captured or uploaded by faculty are automatically machine captioned at ~90-95%+ accuracy.  The longer the video, potentially the longer the processing time.  

YuJa is available for use by all users at this time.  VidGrid will be decommissioned on June 30, 2023.

The first migration of existing VidGrid content was copied to YuJa on October 30, 2022. Migrated content is in YuJa > My Media > “your University Email Address” folder.  In Canvas, VidGrid links will be exchanged to YuJa links during the Spring 2023 semester for all Fall 2022 courses and older in Canvas. The second migration of VidGrid content that was created between October 30, 2022 and the end of the Spring 2023 semester will be copied into YuJa in May 2023.  Faculty will need to update any VidGrid links in Canvas to YuJa links for content that was created during this timeframe.

YuJa is available for use today.

The VidGrid contract expires in June 2023. Until that time, users will be able to access all existing content data that has been captured in VidGrid.

The recommendation is for all students and teaching faculty to access YuJa via Canvas.

• Instructors are able to enable the YuJa plug-in within the course
• Students should access YuJa from the course's left-hand navigation once the instructor has enabled the link.

Yes. Each campus has their own YuJa zone, which requires a separate login. The zones are designed to be accessed from within a Canvas course.

Users will continue to have access to VidGrid until the end of the Spring 2023 term.

Yes. As part of the YuJa implementation, the vendor's processes include copying all existing content data from VidGrid into YuJa. Their process includes updating all reference linkages in Canvas – link updating will be completed during the spring 2023 semester. It does not include updating reference linkages outside of Canvas, so those will need to be manually updated by the owner.

The vendor will migrate all data content from VidGrid to YuJa.

Yes. However, the content in VidGrid should be used as reference-only once it is migrated. Any modifications done in VidGrid after the content is copied to YuJa will not be reflected in YuJa and will not be available to end users, since the reference linkages will no longer point to the VidGrid version of the video.

All videos created or uploaded by faculty to YuJa are automatically machine captioned at ~90-95% accuracy. Currently, professional/human captioning at 99%+ accuracy is attained through the continued use of your campus' current professional/human captioning service.
