Manage Retention for Recordings and Clips

You can automatically delete recordings and clips after a time period. You can specify content retention settings at the organization, network, and program levels.

Deleted recordings and clips cannot be undone! Use content retention carefully.

• Recordings: You can manage storage costs for recordings. Your Omny Studio account includes a fixed amount of storage for each recording agent. Any recording storage above this incurs overage charges. See your contract with Omny Studio for details.

• Clips: Omny Studio provides unlimited storage for clips. But you can use content retention settings to simplify clip management by automatically removing older clips. Deleting a clip also removes it from any playlists that refer to it.

Omny Studio can notify you when you exceed a storage limit for recordings. For details, see Set up Live Recordings.

Content Retention for an Organization

You can use organization-level retention settings to override retention settings for the organization’s programs and networks, or you can specify default retention settings for them.

1. Go to Organization settings > Content > Content retention.

2. Adjust Enforce setting across this organization:

   • Check to override retention settings in the organization’s programs and networks.

   • Uncheck to update the retention settings for programs and networks that inherit from this organization. Custom settings are unaffected.

3. Adjust the Clip deletion and Recording deletion settings.

4. Verify the estimated number of affected clips or recordings.

5. Select Save changes.

Content Retention for Programs and Networks

For a program or network, you can use the same retention settings as its parent organization or customize them. You cannot change a program or network’s retention settings if Enforce setting across this organization is enabled in the parent organization’s retention settings.
