True Watch Time

See your actual remaining time on YouTube videos at any playback speed. No mental math needed. Updates live as you watch.

Ever watched a YouTube video at 1.5× or 2× speed and wondered when it will actually end? True Watch Time shows your real remaining minutes and seconds based on your current playback speed — no mental math required. WHY YOU NEED THIS YouTube's built-in timer shows the video's duration, not YOUR actual time. Watching at 2× speed? A "10 minutes left" video actually takes 5 minutes.
