You can create videos with YuJa Media that can include audio, video and screen recording. The two options are the Browser Capture Studio and the YuJa Capture Software.

Browser Capture Studio (Web-based)

The Browser Capture Studio allows you to record one audio, one video, and one screen input. It is reliant upon a good network connection, so if you have a slower internet, we recommend downloading the YuJa Capture Software to do your recordings.

Using a Chromebook? You will need to use the Browser Capture Studio.

With YuJa Capture, you can record any combination of two recording devices (for example two screens, two webcams, or 1 of each) and a microphone.
