Those who fall asleep in front of the screen while watching a YouTube video may encounter a completely different video that opens on the screen with automatic playback a few hours later. A sleep timer is coming from YouTube to solve this problem, which causes the viewing history to fill up. However, this feature is being tested for YouTube Premium users in the first place.
It should be noted that this test is also timed. It will be possible to experience the sleep timer feature until September 2. What will happen to the feature after this date remains unclear.
It is also possible that the sleep timer feature will be available to all YouTube users as of September 2nd, or it will be a thing of the past. Premium users can test the feature, called the “sleep mode timer,” by clicking here .
YouTube Premium sleep timer available on phone, tablet and computer
Premium users who participated in the test can set a time to pause the video by selecting a certain time interval from the video settings menu when they open a video on their phone or computer. The permanence of this functional feature will make many users happy.
