Panopto Yuja Comparison

The decision to transition from Panopto to Yuja was based on the criteria below. Price, number of recurring and unresolved problems with Panopto, and the additional support, accessibility, editing, and content type features gained with Yuja were deciding factors. YuJa was tested with a group of faculty and student Panopto users to gather comparative feedback on features, usability, and functionality.
