The Video Management page is accessible only to users with administrator permissions. Open it from the menu (for example Video Management) or at /videos/admin (for example https://dev.video/videos/admin). The page shows a card list of videos, advanced filtering (status, privacy, user, channel, dates, length), sorting, multi-select, and deletion.

Multi-select and clicking Delete in the actions bar opens the same dialog with a link to delete all selected items. On confirmation – videos are deleted and the page refreshes (or a list of deleted videos is shown). Deletion is usually irreversible.

Edit and export
