Here’s a closer look at all the key announcements made at the Made on YouTube event.

New AI tools in Shorts

YouTube is making it easier to create on Shorts by integrating Google DeepMind’s Veo 3 Fast. This will let users generate video backgrounds, sound, props, and even restyled clips, all for free. New features like Edit with AI will turn raw footage into a draft video, and Speech to Song can transform dialogue into a funny soundtrack.

New ways to connect

YouTube is also rethinking how creators engage with fans. Live streaming, already watched by over 30% of daily viewers, is getting its biggest upgrade yet, with new ways to reach audiences and monetise. Podcasters will also benefit from tools that help turn full episodes into Shorts or even create video from audio with Veo. For musicians, YouTube Music will soon allow countdowns and pre-saves for new releases.
