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.
