  • YouTube is adding a few experimental features including Sleep Timer, Dream Screen, and an AI that answers questions about videos.
  • Sleep Timer, Dream Screen, and the bot are available until September 2, August 20, and August 21, respectively.
  • Only YouTube Premium subscribers will be able to try these features.

Back in June, Android Authority conducted an APK teardown that revealed YouTube was working on a sleep timer feature. That feature is now live as an experiment and is being joined by two other new features.

In a new blog post, YouTube lists three new experimental features YouTube Premium subscribers will be able to try out. These experiments are available now, but only for a limited time.
