In terms of quality, Zoom is better than YuJa. People have had some issues with low-quality YuJa videos, YuJa glitching and losing a recording, and other drama. I'd personally recommend recording on Zoom and then just uploading it to Canvas with YuJa. (Heck, if you don't need to screen-share, you can just record with your phone and upload through YuJa. Keep it simple!)

When it comes to lecture videos, it's best to keep them brief. 5-10 minutes is about the upper bound on students' attention spans. If you want to cover more in video form, consider making multiple short videos. There are lots of great resources online about how to create engaging video lectures; I found this article helpful, for example.

You might choose to appear in person in your video, or you might prefer to record a screen capture of files / documents / PowerPoint slides on your computer, and merely serve as a voiceover.

Zoom: Zoom makes it easy to record videos of your face, a screencast, or a screencast with your face side-by-side with your screenshare. To embed Zoom videos in Canvas, you'll need to either upload the recording into YuJa (see details in the video above!) or host the video through Google Drive and embed it in Canvas that way. Zoom does offer auto-captioning that's a little more accurate than YuJa's.
