YouTube is gearing up to launch a new sleep timer feature for its Android app, addressing a common problem for users who drift off while watching videos. This useful tool, which first debuted on the YouTube Music app last year, received enthusiastic feedback from users.
At present, the app lacks a built-in function to stop video playback after a set period, resulting in videos playing continuously until manually stopped. This upcoming feature is expected to be a notable improvement, especially for those who watch videos before bed.
The sleep timer will provide Android users with the ability to set a specific duration for video playback, automatically stopping the video once the timer expires. This feature is anticipated to enhance user experience and align YouTube with other media apps that already offer similar functionalities.
The upcoming sleep timer feature will let Android users set a specific duration for video playback.
Users will be able to choose a timer to determine how long videos will play. Once the timer expires, video playback will automatically stop. If viewers are still awake, they can reset the timer or continue watching without it. Additionally, a notification will display the remaining time, making it easy to manage and keep track of the set duration.
