To see if you have this feature, open any video on YouTube and go to the settings. If the Sleep Timer option is there, you’ll be able to use it.

The Sleep Timer lets you set a time for the video or music to pause automatically. You just need to pick how long you want it to play, and after that time is up, the video will stop by itself.

Right now, YouTube offers options like 10, 15, 20, 30, and 45 minutes, as well as an option to stop after one hour or when the video finishes. However, it’s unclear if this feature is available on the web version, as it’s currently only confirmed for the mobile app.
