How to limit YouTube usage (YouTube take a break feature)
YouTube has a new setting that gives you reminders to limit the amount of time you spend on YouTube. So if you find yourself spending a lot of time on YouTube, You could turn on the setting and every once in a while, YouTube will give you a warning. Let's say, if you spend 30 minutes or an hour on YouTube, it will flash a warning to remind you that you've been on YouTube for that long and I wanted to show you how to use it in this video is a great way to limit the amount of time you spend on YouTube. If you find yourself on YouTube too much, what you want to do is on the mobile app on iOS or Android, just go to the homepage of YouTube. So on the very homepage of YouTube, And if you click on your profile icon right on the top right?
You should get to this page, here again, make sure you have the latest app. This is the latest app on Android and iOS and then press settings here and once you're in the settings is the very first option. Remind me to take a break, go ahead and turn that on and these are the options you get, so you can be reminded.
Every five minutes or every few hours, let's say two hours really there is a lot of different reminder frequencies that you could set for yourself. So you customize this. So if you find yourself on YouTube for three hours a day and you want it to be reminded every hour or so, you could set that in this case, I'm just going to put it for five minutes.
So I could show you what that reminder looks like and then now if you exit and you start watching things on YouTube, even your own content, I'll just start watching some videos on my channel and then I'll show you what that warning looks like after I spend more than five minutes on YouTube. It's been about five minutes and since I set my reminder to be every five minutes, this is what it looks like and it could be between multiple videos. So it's not just five minutes on one video or whatever you set your time to be and once you get this, you could either press dismiss and then five minutes later, he will show up. If you set your reminder to five minutes, or you could press setting and then right here, remind me to take a break. You who either turn it off or you could press it and change the reminder time. This time I'll set it to an hour and if I spend an hour on YouTube, I want to be reminded each day so I could take a break. So that's the setting to turn it on and off. I hope this setting helps you.
I think it's really going to help me limit my time on YouTube each day. Please give this video a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel for easy to follow social media and tech tutorials five times a week and I hope to see you on the next video. Thank you so much for watching.
