YouTube Tests Sleep Timer for Premium Users

The feature, available until September 2, allows users to pause playback after a set time, enhancing bedtime viewing experiences.

  • YouTube Premium subscribers can enable the sleep timer through the experimental features page or settings menu.
  • The timer offers options to pause playback after 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, or 60 minutes, or when the video ends.
  • This feature aims to prevent long videos from playing uninterrupted through the night, conserving data and battery life.
  • Users without YouTube Premium can use alternative methods like iPhone's built-in timer or third-party Android apps.
  • The feature's future availability depends on user feedback during the testing period.
