💡Customizable “Up Next in” Autoplay Countdown Timer

⚬ PROBLEM:

I want more time to review the “Up next in” preview before the next video starts. An additional 5–7 seconds would make a meaningful difference for me. With the current default timer, I often don’t have enough time to decide whether to let autoplay continue or cancel it.

⚬ SOLUTION:

Add a setting that lets users choose a custom “Up next” countdown duration when Autoplay is enabled (for example: 5, 10, 15, or 20 seconds, or a user-defined value within a reasonable range). This would give users more control without changing the default behavior for everyone.

⚬ ALTERNATIVES:

An alternative would be a menu setting with a generic toggle for “Longer Up Next countdown” that applies a fixed duration set by your team of developers based on what makes sense from a development stand point.

⚬ RELEVANCE / SCOPE:

Some users may not want additional settings clutter. This can be mitigated by keeping the default unchanged and placing the option under Autoplay settings.

⚬ CONTEXT:

Thank you!

Start by locating the existing Autoplay and “Up next in” countdown entry points and their settings UI. Check the current timer behavior and relevant tests, if present; done means a user-selectable duration works while the default remains unchanged.
