YouTube reminds you to pause videos; learn how to use

YouTube has enabled the option to enable a reminder to pause videos. The novelty is already part of the digital wellness initiative presented at the Google I / O 2018 congress by the search giant and can be very useful for those who spend hours watching movies on the platform. You can select to have alerts displayed every 15, 30, 60, 90, or 180 minutes.

The application displays an alert, and it is up to the user to follow the suggestions to stop. You can also skip it and continue with the video stream. Want to know how? Check out the steps below.
