    @presley OP cannot change the browser timeout. If you're asking how to change the timeout, you can open youtube instead of testing your network connection. If you're talking about the timer on this website, the timer is for security reasons

          The 20 minute timer on this website is just for your own information on how long it's been. The actual 20 minutes for the browser to close and kick you out is enforced by the Switch OS.

          We started a petition to Nintendo asking them to remove these limitations, although it seems unlikely at this point in the Switch's lifecycle that they'd do this.

              yeah, they added the timeout around 2019, likely as a result of DNS workarounds to accessing it. It also used to support video for the first few Switch OS releases.

                    I dont see how that would effect anything, its a built in timer. i know that putting the switch into rest can essentially pause the timer but ill have to try airplane mode

                        @jperez2250 Nintendo has restricted the viewing of videos on the dns browser, i'd assume to discourage people from using it. There's also a 20 minute timer that'll kick you off every time it gets to 0. If you'd like to know some sites that work, check my first topic and another topic titled 'switch discoveries part 2'. I hope it helps :D

                            @jperez2250 You can watch any videos on facebok using a trick i found, you need to acess facebook from the "social network posting settings" on your switch

                              @jperez2250 big dawg think we customer support if you want to see videos go though facebook or settle for GIF's, otherwise there hasnt been any workarounds for years

                                Sadly as others pointed out, the DNS browser explicitly has video playback blocked. There are some workarounds for Facebook and Google Drive, but the access is really limited.

                                    @THE_ONlY_0NE theres is one way, but it only makes it possible to watch vids on facebook and the method takes quite a few steps, im not sure if its worth it but u could try it out for yourself, there was a topic about that, its called "switch discoveries volume 3" by @Luna
