Ability to schedule VOD videos

At the moment it doesn't seem possible to schedule the publication of videos for a future date. This means that if a certain video is under embargo or otherwise being held for debut at a later date, a human has to be there to push the "Publish" button. This can be especially problematic if the video is supposed to go live at an unusual time for the editor/producer (for example, if it goes live at midnight).


It would be nice if there was a scheduling feature that worked the same way as the one in Composer.

    Adding a comment here that this is a request from our content teams as well. They would like to have a video published everyday at a specific time, but want to do the uploading/encoding all a week in advance.

    If this was implemented, it would also be good if those scheduled videos could be added to a scheduled story in Composer. At the moment you either have to publish your video first to be able to add it to a scheduled story in Composer, or remember to publish the video after the story have gone live and then add it after the fact.
