YouTube TV introduces new 'Voice Remote' feature; rolling out to select Android users

The YouTube TV app has been reportedly added with a new feature that allows you to instruct your choice of shows. Called Voice Remote, the feature is available only on phones. All you need to do is press a button and instruct what exactly you want to watch, Cnet reported. 

The feature is available only to those who are premium users and pay USD 40 per month for a YouTube TV streaming subscription. 

Do you also start watching a video on YouTube and lose track of time following the recommended/autoplay list? Google wants to tell you that it is concerned over this habit of yours and has inserted a nifty new feature to its video service.

As part of its focus on digital well-being, Google has added a feature to YouTube called 'take a break' which notifies you when you have exceeded a specific amount of consecutive viewing time, The Verge reports. The feature is optional, and just like how you might scold a little one for exceeding their television viewing time, the feature will show you a prompt when you lose track of time.

You can enable it through the Settings menu and selecting 'Remind me to take a break'. You can choose from options ranging from 15 minutes to 180 minutes. Whether or not it really contributes to a healthy digital well-being is something we are yet to see, but it surely gives an easy way of timing the consumption of the addictive video service.
