We would really like to be able to set the recording link expiry using the Cloud Recording API for settings. We are managing recordings on behalf of our instructors and have policies that could be automated surrounding the time a recording is available. ---

Any news on this, please? It would be really helpful to set the recording share link expiration date in an API request. ---

YES! This is needed - we are also trying to set automations using the expiry as the /recordings/analytics\_details request only allows for 30 days of data and we need to use the expiry to check if the recording is available to users. So may data points missing in the recordings another being the custom questions for registration.
