The Videos page¶
The dashboard's Videos page shows every video in the project in one of two views:
- Gallery (the default) — a grid of large thumbnails, like a video library. Best for finding a video by sight.
- List — one row per video with more detail: description, encoding status, visibility, resolution, file size, and upload date.
Switch between them with the list/grid toggle at the top right of the page. Your choice is remembered, so the page reopens in whichever view you used last.
In both views, 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.
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.
- Visibility and status filters apply as soon as you pick them.
- A reset button appears whenever any filter is active.
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. In the list view the same actions sit at the right of each row. Clicking a thumbnail or title opens the video for editing.
Acting on several videos at once¶
In the gallery view you can select videos — tick the checkbox that appears on a tile, or use Select all in the header — and a floating bar appears with actions that apply to the whole selection. Each action opens a confirmation first — showing 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.
- 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.
