How to block YouTube distractions during work or study hours
Short answer
YouTube has no setting that changes by time of day. Quiet Pro’s schedule lets you pick days and hours, such as weekdays from 9 to 6. During those hours Quiet stays on and the popup switch can’t turn it off; outside them, your usual switches apply.
On YouTube
- 1Open YouTube’s settings from your profile picture.
- 2You can pause watch history or set a break reminder.
- 3Nothing runs on a timetable.
The catch: Every setting is on or off all day, so the hours that matter are left to willpower.
With Quiet Pro
Choose the days and the start and end time. Inside that window Quiet is strict and the popup switch does nothing; outside it, YouTube behaves the way your switches say. For a one-off stretch, a Focus session locks everything on for 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours.
Schedules and Focus sessions are part of Quiet Pro, with a 7-day free trial.
