Hi,

As per my understanding, you want to open and close a youtube video using MATLAB. This task can be divided into the following steps: -

1. Open a web page in a browser.
2. Get the duration of the video by parsing the HTML code. (Hint: find the element that stores the duration of the video in the html tree using findElement).
3. Schedule the execution of the command to close the browser window using Timer.

Also, referring to the following MATLAB Answers, which might help you in achieving the goal: -

1. Close a web browser from a script
2. Execute a command after a delay
