We're happy to report that the Bulk menu is restored in YouTube Studio:
If you don't see the Bulk menu yet, your browser may still be using an older version of the TubeBuddy extension. Please update to version 5.16.9 by following these steps:
- Open chrome://extensions in Chrome.
- Enable Developer mode in the top-right corner.
- Click Update to check for extension updates.
- Return to YouTube Studio and refresh the page.
To verify you're on the correct version, click the TubeBuddy icon in your browser toolbar or open the TubeBuddy menu in YouTube Studio. The version number is displayed at the bottom of the main menu and should read v5.16.9.
We sincerely apologize for the disruption and appreciate your patience while we worked with YouTube's recent changes. Thank you for bearing with us!
July 2, 2026 Update
We've implemented a fix for the missing Bulk menu. At the moment, we're waiting for Google to complete its review and release the updated version of our Chrome extension. Once it's approved and available, the Bulk menu will be restored.
We know this issue has been disruptive, especially for those who rely on the Bulk tools as part of their workflow, and we sincerely appreciate your patience while we work through the final step of the rollout. We'll update this article again as soon as the new extension version is available.
A recent YouTube Studio update has caused the TubeBuddy Bulk menu (which provides access to tools like Bulk Find/Replace and other bulk actions) to disappear. Unfortunately, there isn't a workaround available at this time, and we understand how disruptive this can be, especially if you rely on these tools for managing large numbers of videos. Our team is actively working on a fix, and once the updated Chrome extension is released, the Bulk menu will be automatically restored.
We'll update this article as soon as the updated extension is available.
