Creating a recording with desktop capture

  • Log in to your YuJa account using your Single-Sign-On.
  • Select the Create Recording button at the top of the screen:

              

  • Make sure the drop-down box is set to Record from your Windows PC or Mac:

         

  • Click the Start button.  A preview of your recording will appear on your screen.

Use this preview to edit the settings:

  • Give the recording a Title (or you can do this after recording)
  • Share the record to a Media Channel 
  • Click the Folder Icon  to choose where to save your file. You’ll find the recording in the My Media folder - this is the default location in YuJa if you did not specify a folder.
  • Click on Settings  to update your settings
  • Video: video options, or you can turn the video off
  • Audio: alternative audio input options
  • Screen: alternative content display options (single or due displays, custom display, to capture a selected area). Use the annotation bar to print, write and add shapes during the record. This option is only available for Duo Displays and PCs

  • Profile: You can save your settings by default
  • Click Start:

  • There will be a three-second countdown before your recording will begin.
  • During your recording, the toolbar will appear in the bottom right corner of your screen. It will give you the option to open the YuJa Software Station in full preview mode, stop, or pause your recording. You can adjust your audio using the Mic settings.

  • Record your presentation.
  • Once you are done recording, click on the Stop button (or press Ctrl + Shift + F). You will be prompted to Post Now (if you have chosen the option to post a specific media channel), Delete, or Save.

 

  • Clicking Save will upload your recording. This may take a few minutes to process. DO NOT close your browser or disconnect from the Internet until the recording has fully uploaded.
  • Once the processing is complete, you can access and manage your recording in the previously selected media channel or folder. The default location can be found in My Media (in the left navigation bar), then click the folder titled Default Collection.
