The Videos page¶
The dashboard's Videos page shows every video in the project as a gallery: a grid of large thumbnails, like a video library.
Hovering a thumbnail plays a muted preview of the video, and a video's thumbnail doubles as its status: a video that's still encoding shows a spinner on the dark tile, one waiting for its upload shows an upload glyph, and one that failed shows a red-tinted tile with a warning mark. Private videos wear a small lock chip on the thumbnail; the duration sits in the opposite corner once known.
Folders¶
Folder tiles sit above the video grid: click one to open it, use the breadcrumb trail to walk back up, and drag a video tile onto a folder tile (or a breadcrumb entry) to move it there. A Not in a folder tile at the root collects the videos you haven't filed yet, and opening the upload page from inside a folder pre-selects that folder.
Folders are also managed here: ＋ New folder above the tiles creates one where you're standing, All folders opens the whole tree, and hovering a tile reveals a pen that edits — or deletes — the folder. Details in Folders.
Search and filters¶
The bar at the top of the page filters the videos:
- Search matches against title, description, and tags; press Enter to apply. Inside a folder it searches that folder's videos; folder titles matching the search appear as tiles above the results.
- Visibility and status filters apply as soon as you pick them.
- A reset button appears whenever any filter is active.
- The trash button at the top right flips the page into Recently deleted; everything above keeps working there.
Sorting¶
The sort select picks what to order by — Date (the default) or Title — and the arrow button beside it flips the direction (newest-first is the default; for titles, ascending means A–Z). The choice applies everywhere the grid appears — at the root, inside a folder, in the not-in-a-folder view, and on search results — and is remembered for your session. It orders the folder tiles along with the videos: the Date sort ranks folders by when they were created (in Recently deleted, by when they were deleted). The API's video list is unaffected (it stays newest-first).
Acting on one video¶
Each gallery tile carries quick actions when you hover it (edit, embed code, analytics) and a ⋮ menu with the full set, including delete. Clicking a thumbnail or title opens the video for editing.
Acting on several videos at once¶
You can select videos (tick the checkbox that appears on a tile, or use Select all in the header); a floating bar then appears with actions that apply to the whole selection. Each action first opens a confirmation that lists the videos you're about to change and what will happen, so nothing takes effect until you confirm:
- Make public / Make private set the visibility of all selected videos in one go. The same rules apply as when toggling a single video: unpublishing has a short CDN propagation delay before existing links stop working.
- Move to folder files all selected videos into the folder you pick in the confirmation (or moves them out of any folder). See Folders.
- Set profile attaches the profile you pick to all selected videos (or detaches them, so the project default applies). Player, visibility and domain settings apply on the next load; encoding settings were stamped when each video was created and don't change. This is also how you apply a profile across a folder: open the folder, select all, set the profile.
- Delete deletes all selected videos. Deleted videos disappear from the library and their embeds stop playing; this can't be undone.
The selection is per page: paging or filtering clears it.
