Overview

Introduction

Yuja is a video platform integrated in Canvas that is available to faculty, staff, and students. Yuja can be utilized for video capture, editing, and management. Yuja offers 24/7 live support. Yuja is replacing Panopto as the video platform integrated within Canvas. Panopto should not be used to create new video content. Any content created in Panopto after May 7th, 2025, must be manually converted to Yuja. 

In July 2025, Panopto video libraries for each user were copied and replaced with Yuja videos. Users can access their Yuja Library now by clicking on "Yuja" in the left side Canvas Navigation.
