What Should I know?
What’s the difference between sharing, publishing, and sharing a link?
- Publishing: This releases content to your module’s channel. It may help to think of YuJa Channels as restricted YouTube channels. When you make the video, it is set so that only you can view it. When you publish it to your module channel, it’s like publishing it to your YouTube Channel, with the exception that the audience is restricted to users enrolled on your module in My Dundee.
- Sharing a link: You can share a direct link to a video without publishing it to a channel. This process allows anyone with the link to view the video, whether or not they are in your module or have any affiliation with the University of Dundee (e.g. users outside of the university can view the video with this link). There are ways to restrict access when sharing links, but this is the default.
- Sharing your video: You can also share your video with other users in YuJa. This allows you to customise the amount of privileges the other user has so that they can:1 – view the video, 2 – view and edit the video, 3 – view, edit, and delete the video. This is the ideal option for sharing rights to a video with other instructors or administrators on your module or in your programme.
Publish a video:
Step 1: To Publish a video, hover over it, and select Publish.
Step 2: Search for the module you want to publish to using the search bar. Make sure you select the correct academic year. You can also choose multiple channels that you wish to publish a video to (for example, if you are making a video for a school or programme, you can publish it to all the relevant channels at once). Click Select.
Note: You must have already created the channel from My Dundee and accessed the channel from My Dundee with your role as Instructor/Support in order to be able to publish to that channel.
Share a link to your video:
Step 1: Hover over the video and click More from the menu.
Step 2: Click on the Links tab and copy the Direct Link. You can also find the embed code here if you need it.
Share video:
Step 1: Hover over video and click on the option for Share.
Step 2: Use the Share with text entry to search for the user you want to share the video with. You can use the drop-down menu beside this to determine their access.
- Read Only: Allow the user to access and view the media.
- Edit Access: Allow the user to access and make changes to the media.
- Full Access: Allow the user to access, make changes, and delete media.
Step 3: Click Share. Repeat this process for anyone who needs access. Click Save when you’re done to save these shared users and settings.
