For users aged 13–17 on YouTube, the take a break reminder is set to “On” by default. For users 18 or over, the default setting is “Off.” You can change this setting at any time. 

The take a break reminder lets you set a reminder to take a break while watching videos. The reminder will pause your video until you dismiss it or resume playing the video. This feature is available on versions 13.17+ of the YouTube app on mobile devices. 

  • Open YouTube App. 
  • Tap your profile picture. 
  • Tap Settings. 
  • Tap General. 
  • Next to Remind me to take a break, tap the switch to On or Off .
  • If switching to “On," select your Reminder frequency and tap OK. 
You can also set take a break reminder by tapping your profile picture and then Time Watched. 

 Going forward, once you hit your self-imposed time limit in the YouTube app, an alert will show up reminding you it's time to take a break. When the alert shows up, you can either adjust the amount of time between interruptions or dismiss it and continue watching a video.
