  • If the archived information says “Archived by a content retention policy 2 years ago…” the video is likely scheduled for deletion December 30th. 
  • If you have videos listed here, and want to keep them long term: 
    • Restore from Archive 
    • Restoration can take up to 48 hours, you will receive an email when completed.
