YouTube has announced that it will expand access to Google’s Veo 3 generative AI tool for Shorts later this summer.
Previously available to a limited group of creators, this latest version of Veo will allow a broader audience to generate short-form videos from simple text prompts directly within the YouTube app.
Veo 3 brings advanced text-to-video capabilities, enabling creators to produce visually compelling content more easily and efficiently.
YouTube sees this as an opportunity to lower the barrier to entry for video creation, making tools once reserved for professionals accessible to everyone.
While the technology offers powerful new possibilities, YouTube also emphasized that creativity remains central.
The tool can enhance production—but strong ideas, storytelling, and originality still define successful content.
This update is part of YouTube’s broader effort to support creative innovation through AI, opening new pathways for expression across its platform.
