Each individual folder and video on GauchoCast can be made available to viewers at a specific date and time. Users will not be able to access or see the video until that designated time. You can also apply a “sunset time” so that it no longer is accessible to users after a specific date and time.
The default option for folders on GauchoCast is to make content available immediately after it is uploaded or placed into a folder. This is true for all GauchoCast folders, except your personal folder called My Folder. You cannot Share or set an Availability option for your personal My Folder.
You can adjust the availability options for your content at the folder-level or video-level. You can find the availability options for your GauchoCast folders under the Settings subsection in the Folder Settings window pane.
To prevent new uploaded sessions from being viewed before “approval,” set your folder availability to Never. Then you can make new uploads available when they’re ready by setting the availability for each individual session.

Video Availability Settings:
Under the availability section for both folders and videos, you can also apply a “sunset” time so that the content becomes unavailable after a certain time and date. The default option for all content on GauchoCast is set to be available forever.
Note: If you are recording lectures using Panopto, a best practice is to upload your videos into your personal folder first, make edits and preview the content, then move/copy the video it the appropriate course folder in GauchoCast. Once you copy or move a video from My Folder into another folder on GauchoCast, it will inherit the availability options from its folder.
