Auto-deletion scheduler for individual videos / Allow Creators to select a content retention policy

One of our faculty members, Dr. Erik Carlson, suggests that it would be helpful for instructors/creators to be able to schedule some videos for automatic deletion after a certain time period. This would relate to the specific video(s) and would be different from the automatic retention policies scheduled at the admin level. I think this is an excellent idea.
Admin addition to this request: Users / creators would like to be able to select a content retention policy individually for their own videos/folders. The idea is that the admin will create the policies but each user gets to choose which one they want to apply to their videos/folders.

Hi @Clint Brooks,
Although retention policies can only be modified and used by Panopto admins at this time, would you be open to setting your site-wide retention policy to pay attention to if/when a video has been set to be unavailable by a faculty member? Instructors/creators can update their folders and/or videos to stop being available on a certain date/time as outlined here: https://support.panopto.com/s/article/Publish-Videos-Using-the-Availability-Workflow
Your retention policies can be set to include criteria for "Last Available Date," which would go off of this date set by any instructors looking to leverage this feature. I hope this helps! In the meantime, I will leave this request open to let other upvote it for traction. Thank you.
