YouTube is getting more granular playback speed controls and a sleep timer

YouTube tested the sleep timer earlier this year.

YouTube is getting a bunch of small but handy new features, like the ability to more finely tune your playback speed, new tools to collaborate on playlists, a sleep timer, and more. You’ll be able to build collaborative playlists by sharing a link (or, in a feature “coming soon” to TVs, scanning a QR code), which might be a useful tool to let you collect funny videos with your friends. YouTube initially tested the sleep timer as an experiment for Premium subscribers this year, but now it will be available to all users on mobile.
