Use this interactive demo to learn how to disable the YouTube watch time reminder in settings.

Quick summary

You can turn off the YouTube time limit by navigating to Settings and disabling the Remind me to take a break toggle under General. This five-step process takes under a minute and permanently removes break reminders from your YouTube session.


Steps

  1. Open YouTube and tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
  2. Select Settings from the menu.
  3. In the Settings menu, tap General.
  4. Tap Remind me to take a break to toggle the setting off, disabling the reminder entirely.
  5. Tap the back arrow to save your settings.

📌 Why this matters

YouTube's built-in screen time feature automatically prompts users to take breaks, which can interrupt long viewing or research sessions. Knowing how to turn off the YouTube time limit gives users full control over their watch experience without unwanted interruptions. This setting is buried inside the General section of YouTube's Settings menu, making step-by-step guidance essential for most users. Disabling the break reminder is a quick, reversible change that immediately improves uninterrupted viewing on both mobile and desktop.
