In some cases you don't always need to say 'let's turn it off', you can do the action and say "Okay, now it's bath time". The 'okay' let's the person know that you've made the decision, let's move onto the next task.
You can also do it nicely and subtly by saying the second phrase, it has a bit more feeling to it when you say it in a calm tone.
Let's go take a bath. I am going to pause the video for you and you will watch it after the bath.
If you pause a video it means that you are able to resume/continue from where you left it from.The statement means that you want your child to bath first and then continue to watch the video after.
Small children are often "engrossed" in a video or game, just when we need them to "stop what they are doing} and " get ready for...." Bed Time /Bath Time etc.
Discipline is essential and teaching young children to obey the parent will bring
many benefits later on in life.
"ITS BATH TIME" is the "ubiquitous phrase" heard in homes throughout the World!
It is time to take a bath, and I am going to turn off your video now.
It is time for your bath and I am stopping the video.
I am turning off the video because it is time for your bath.
You are communicating to your child that now is the time the bath needs to happen. So using a present term to emphasize that the bath is happening now. This is also implied without the word now. If you are saying it is time to take a bath the implication is that is happening right now. You communicate stopping the video by saying, " I am going to turn off the video", "I am stopping the video", "I am turning off the video".

It's better to use clear directions to very small children and avoid giving them options or asking them questions, when you need them to something that is important.
When you say TV off, turn the TV off immediately afterwards. When you say 'bath time' make your voice happy and excited, you can even clap your hands and give a little happy jump up and down. This will make your little one feel excited and enthusiastic about going into the bath and they should quickly forget the TV was turned off.
