Video Migration from Panopto to YuJa Completed on Jan 5, 2026

The migration of our campus video library from Panopto to YuJa is now complete. While the data export process from Panopto took longer than initially anticipated, the import into YuJa was finalized as of January 5, 2026.

All users can begin using YuJa for recording and hosting video content now (via Blackboard or your myUMBC login at umbc.edu/go/yuja). As we transition fully into the YuJa environment, please review the following information regarding your imported content and the next steps for managing your media.

1. Locating Your Content

You can now access your migrated videos by logging into YuJa and navigating to Media Management. Your content now includes migrated videos and has been organized into a folder structure that reflects your previous Panopto setup, including folders for specific courses and any custom folders you manually organized.

2. Identifying "Orphaned" or Missing Content

While the vast majority of content migrated successfully, we are aware of some minor issues regarding "orphaned" videos -- content that may not have successfully migrated to your account due to the way it was stored in Panopto. Instructional Technology is prioritizing SP2026 faculty who used Panopto to ensure their content will be available by mid-January.

• If you find that content is still missing after January 16: Please open a support ticket with Instructional Technology.
• The Instructional Technology team will conduct a review of orphaned content to identify your videos and reassign them to your YuJa account.

3. Content Created After November 10, 2025

The automated migration captured content existing in Panopto up through November 10. If you created or uploaded videos to Panopto after November 10, including the Spring 2026 semester, this media will not not appear in your YuJa Media Management unless you self migrate that specific content.

Faculty and staff have until March 23, 2026, to complete any necessary self migration before our access to the Panopto archive ends. After that date UMBC will no longer have access to any Panopto content. 

4. Next Steps and Support

Although Panopto will continue to be available in Blackboard until March 23 for video linkage, we strongly advise faculty to use YuJa for new media creation. To help you navigate and organize your new YuJa library, please refer to our YuJa FAQ collection and review our follow-up article about organizing content. 

• Upcoming training and webinars focused on YuJa features.
• Best practices for linking YuJa content within Blackboard.
• Tips for organizing your imported content and managing your Media Management folders.

We appreciate your patience throughout this complex migration. Our goal is to ensure that your instructional media is preserved and even more accessible in its new home. 

If you have immediate questions, please reach out to the Instructional Technology team via RT.
