Click on the videos you want to edit. You can easily select all of your videos or filter by searching first.

Next the “Actions” button and find “Advanced” at the bottom to unlock the secret menu.




Now you can edit just about any aspect of your videos in bulk. To add a description call to action footer, click description.
