MG 1.1 How to globally disable video uploads for categories

[Sim]

From what I can tell, the only way to disable video uploads is to deselect the "Types of media that can be added to this category" option? There is no global switch to disable?

This is a bit of a problem for us - with over 2,500 galleries, I would have to write a script to turn them all off - not about to do that by hand!

Alternatively, I could work around it if we had usergroup based permissions for video as per: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/user-group-video-upload-permissions.144220/

Easiest way is to just remove all allowed video extensions in options. There's a display bug where the indicator on the add media page will still display the video upload icon and have a tooltip of "Allowed extensions:" (and nothing else) which I'm just addressing, but that will globally disable video uploads.
