Schedule a video release

Instead of publishing a video immediately, you can schedule it to go live at a future date. This is great for dripping content on a program schedule, batching recordings in advance, or launching a series at a specific time.

Set a release date

When adding or editing a video:

1. Go to Products → On-Demand Video → open the video (Add new → Video or edit existing)
2. Open the Pricing tab
3. Change the Creation date to a future date and time
4. Save

The video will automatically go live at 12:00 AM on the date you set.

What you'll see in the dashboard

Videos with a future release date show a Scheduled status tag with the date they'll go live. Once the video is published, the status updates to Live.

Hiding a scheduled video

If you want to set up the video in advance but keep it completely out of sight until it's live, check the Hidden box when saving. Hidden doesn't turn off on its own, so uncheck it on or after the release date to make the video visible.

If you want clients to see it's coming (like a teaser), leave Hidden unchecked — they'll see the video listed but won't be able to watch it until the release date.

Setting an expiration date

You can also set an Expiration date — the video will automatically be removed from your library on that date. Useful for:

• Time-limited challenges
• Class recordings you only want available for a set window
• Seasonal content

Use cases

• Batch recording sessions — record a month of content at once, then schedule them to release weekly
• Program drip — release Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 of a program on consecutive dates
• Going on vacation — keep your library fresh while you're away without manually publishing
