How to use Yuja

Yuja, a video hosting service, has been predominantly used by faculty members, however, it is available to all UCR members. Embed codes can be used within a Drupal site. Additionally, a permalink option will allow a header video to display on your Drupal site. 

Individuals have access to Yuja for free. For departments who would like to share an account for video header purposes, a departmental Yuja account can be created. Please have your site manager open a ticket with Campus Web Solutions in order to obtain a departmental Yuja account.
