YouTube has announced that it will introduce a new feature that will let users know how much time they have spent watching videos. Just activate the appropriate option from your account: by selecting it, a window will appear where the minutes or hours of viewing during the last week will be shown. Also you can choose to set a reminder to remind you to take a break after a certain amount of time. The new feature will not be active in case the watch history is disabled and when watching videos in private mode.
Now you can track how much time you spend watching YouTube videos, so it's easier than ever to know when to take a break. Learn more about our tools to support your digital wellbeing: https://t.co/OFmyxkCRuA. pic.twitter.com/NWA8Ujt1XL
