I was reviewing https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/stream/license-overview#storage to explain Storage in Stream to a colleague and why some organizations disable uploads to Stream.

I understand that Stream storage has much more value (searchable transcript, player, captions, etc) than a 500 GB disk drive which you can buy for between $30 - $80, but $1200 each and every year for an additional 500 GB of storage seems excessively high to me.

@Gregory Frick I can't say anything about prices! To your second Question: Currently there are no retention policies available, but planed. You can only monitor the audit logs, extract the informations you need and implement your own policies to help the Stream administator to manage Stream by deleting videos or communicating with the video owners.
And I would like a sort option for videos like "Publish date descending"!
