bulk download and copy features!

Today, when you select multiple videos from the folder screen, you have the option to share, delete or move those videos.
Adding the ability to copy and download here would be a nice feature. I often am asked to help make copies of videos to share into other folders. It would be nice to be able to make the copies without having to go into settings for each video.
also, i have a faculty request to be able to download in bulk.

I believe admins should have the ability to copy in bulk already, additionally, I believe there is a user permission that allows for bulk options for all users. If my memory serves me correctly, that is something that Panopto Support needs to enable. Just like the V2 Canvas course copy tool, this setting is likely to substantially increase your site footprint. I am holding out hope that we will have a deep-copy option sooner than later to get the best of both worlds where content exists in across a number of folders, but it all feeds back to a source folder/course.
The bulk download question is interesting. In my mind this should work like an archival step where it provides you with all of the source files (PPT, captions, all Primary/Secondary, UCS info) so it could be reuploaded and work as a native session would. Along with that option, I would like to see the Unison upload workflow recognize these packages. I could also see something where it just gives you the podcast MP4.
You don't have the option to copy multiple videos?
That's apparently limited to Panopto admins but can be enabled by Panopto at the site level.

Note: Batch copy is restricted by default to Administrators only because copying sessions affects Usage Hours. If you would like to change this setting to include all users with Creator rights, please contact Panopto Support.
Bulk (or even individual) downloading would be nice but I don't think they currently have a way to download all the streams and other files (like captions, pdfs, ppts, etc.) which may make up a presentation.
