It is known that this is a quite useful feature of YouTube for those who often watch videos on this platform and fall asleep. The sleep timer feature allows users to set the time to automatically stop playing videos. Thus, YouTube users will have a better sleep without being disturbed by the sound of the content.
Currently, the sleep timer feature is only being tested by YouTube with Premium accounts on both mobile and desktop applications. In addition, users of this platform can set a timer from 10 to 60 minutes, or choose to stop playing at the end of the video as desired.
The fact that YouTube limits this new feature to Premium users, causing some controversy. Many people believe that this is a basic feature that should be provided for free to everyone. However, many predictions show that this new feature will soon be deployed more widely, even free for all users. This is considered a positive move by YouTube to improve the user experience and encourage healthy usage habits.
Overall, the launch of this sleep timer feature is very useful and a remarkable step forward for YouTube. This feature opens up hope that Google will bring many more additional features to this platform, helping to improve the user's video viewing experience.
