# Bulk select videos

You can select multiple videos at once on your **My videos**, **Workspace videos**, and **Trash** pages, then act on them all together — copy links, add to a playlist, change access, restore, or delete.

## How to select multiple videos

There are three ways to select more than one video:

### Click to toggle

Click the checkbox on a video to add it to your selection. Click it again to deselect. Repeat for as many videos as you want.

### Shift-click for a range

1. Select your first video.

2. Hold **Shift** and click another video further down (or up) the list.

3. Every video between the two is selected at once.

### Drag to select

On desktop, you can draw a selection box around multiple videos:

1. Click and hold on an empty area of the page.

2. Drag across the videos you want to select — a selection box appears as you drag.

3. Release. Every video the box touches is selected.

Hold **Shift** while you drag to add to your existing selection instead of replacing it.

> Drag-to-select is available on desktop only — on mobile, use the checkboxes.

## Where it works

You can bulk select on:

* **My videos** — your personal videos

* **Workspace videos** — videos shared in your workspace

* **Trash** — deleted videos waiting to be permanently removed

It also works inside any playlist.

## What you can do with selected videos

When videos are selected, a toolbar appears at the bottom of the screen showing the actions available for your selection.

### On My videos and Workspace videos

* **Copy links** — copy share links for every selected video at once

* **Add to playlist** — add the selected videos to a playlist

* **Add user** — share the selected videos with someone (you must have editor access to the workspace)

* **Access** — change the link visibility for the selected videos

* **Delete videos** — move the selected videos to Trash

Inside a playlist, you'll also see **Remove from playlist**.

### On Trash

* **Restore videos** — move the selected videos back to My videos

* **Delete now** — permanently delete the selected videos right away, instead of waiting for the 30-day window

## Clearing your selection

Click the **X** at the start of the bottom toolbar (next to the count) to deselect every video at once.

## Keyboard shortcuts

* **Cmd+A** (macOS) or **Ctrl+A** (Windows) — select every video on the page.
* **Shift+Click** — select a range between two videos.
* **Esc** — clear your selection.

## Tip

Bulk select pairs well with [sort and filter](/help/tips/sort-filter-and-view-videos). For example, filter to **Not in a playlist**, press Cmd+A, and add the whole batch to a playlist in one go. Switching to **list view** also makes large selections easier to scan.
