The available/unavailable settings on the scheduling page only allow for days settings, where as the course settings allow for specific date settings.
A lot of our instructors are asking for more granularity with when their recordings become available or unavailable that the "whole day" settings don't really work for. A very common request is "make my recordings unavailable after x date", which when I am scheduling usually means I just do some rough math on how many days that would be. A date picker would be a nice option.
