At Made on YouTube this week, we announced new ways to create, build community, and make a living doing what you love. Here’s how we’re making YouTube the best home for creators: (1) We’re integrating Google DeepMind’s newest generative video model - Veo - into Dream Screen on Shorts. This state-of-the-art technology is only the beginning of how we’re empowering creativity with AI. (2) Communities are a new space for creators to connect with fans on their channels, whether they’re sharing fan art or just starting a conversation with someone new. They’re available now on a handful of channels and we're expanding to more channels in early 2025. (3) We’re launching a new feature that lets fans “hype” videos so they can rally around their favorite emerging creators. The videos with the most hype points will appear on a special leaderboard. (4) We’re also helping creators expand their reach by bringing our automatic dubbing tool to hundreds of thousands more creators so they can generate translated audio tracks for videos in different languages. (5) We’re making it easier than ever to grow your business by introducing Gifts powered by Jewels, expanding our YouTube Shopping affiliate program, and helping you organize your content into seasons and episodes.
