YouTube's sleep timer feature is quite useful for those who often watch videos late at night and fall asleep. It allows users to set a time to automatically stop playing videos, so they can have a better sleep without being disturbed by the sound of the content.

Video timer feature on YouTube Premium

Currently, YouTube is testing the sleep timer feature for Premium users on both the mobile and desktop apps. Users can set a timer from 10 to 60 minutes, or choose to pause playback at the end of the video.

Although it is currently limited to YouTube Premium users, it is likely that this new feature will soon be rolled out more widely, perhaps even free for all users. This is considered a positive move by YouTube to improve the user experience and encourage healthy usage habits.

However, limiting this new feature to YouTube Premium users may also cause some controversy, with many arguing that this is a basic feature that should be available to everyone for free.

Overall, the launch of this useful feature is still a remarkable step forward for YouTube. It opens up the hope that Google will bring more additional features to the platform, helping to improve the user's video viewing experience.
