You can select many videos at once on My videos, Workspace videos, Trash, or inside a playlist, then act on them together from the toolbar at the bottom of the screen: copy links, add tags or playlists, share, change access, export, restore, or delete.

​
Select multiple videos

  • Click to toggle: click the checkbox on a video to add it to your selection. Click it again to deselect.
  • Shift-click for a range: select one video, then hold Shift and click another video further down (or up) the list. Every video between the two is selected.
  • Cmd+A (macOS) or Ctrl+A (Windows): select the videos that are already loaded. In list view, this selects the current page. In grid view, it selects every page you’ve loaded by scrolling.

​
Select every video in a library or playlist

Select at least one video, then click Select all in the bottom toolbar. Tella loads and selects every video in the current library section or playlist, including any active filters and pages you haven’t loaded yet. While Tella is loading a large selection, click Stop in the toolbar to keep the videos selected so far.

​
Where does bulk select work?

  • My videos: your personal videos
  • Workspace videos: videos shared in your workspace
  • Trash: deleted videos waiting to be permanently removed
  • Inside any playlist
Bulk selection is available on desktop. On mobile, use each video’s menu to manage videos individually.

​
What can I do with selected videos?

​
On My videos, Workspace videos, and playlists

  • Copy links: copy share links for every selected video at once.
  • Add to playlist: add the selected videos to one or more playlists. This also works inside a playlist, so you can add several videos from one playlist to another at once.
  • Tags: add or remove tags across the selected videos. See organize your videos with tags.
  • Add user: share the selected videos with someone.
  • Access: change the link visibility for the selected videos.
  • Export: export the selected videos together as a zip. See batch export videos.
  • Delete videos: move the selected videos to Trash.
Tags, Add user, and Export only appear when you’re the creator or an editor of every selected video. 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.

​
Clear your selection

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

​
Combine bulk select with filters

Bulk select pairs well with sort and filter. For example, filter to Not in a playlist, select one video, click Select all, and add the whole filtered group to a playlist in one go. Switching to List view also makes large selections easier to scan.
