◆YouTube Short
YouTube Shorts will introduce Google DeepMind's video generation AI 'Veo 3 Fast.' 'Veo 3 Fast' is a speed-optimized version of 'Veo 3,' which can generate 8-second videos with audio. This will make it easy to create video backgrounds and video clips with audio.

The Inspiration tab has also been improved, adding more ways to stimulate creativity and help with content creation.
Additionally, automatic dubbing has also been improved.

◆Live streaming
On average, over 30% of YouTube's logged-in viewers in the second quarter of 2025 watched live streams.
To further enhance the appeal of live streaming, new features will be added, such as the ability for streamers to easily create 'cutout videos' and 'highlights,' as well as a feature that uses video generation AI to generate customizable videos from audio files for those who don't even have time to create videos.

Additionally, to support creators, we will be introducing adjacent ads, which will help them earn revenue without disrupting the viewing experience.

◆YouTube Music
YouTube Music has been building a fan community for 10 years, and to further strengthen that connection and grow your fandom, we're adding features to let you know about upcoming releases and concerts.
You'll also now be able to display 'badges' so you can show your pride as a top fan.

Additionally, tools will be introduced that will allow fans to connect with their most dedicated fans through fan-only content such as merchandise, thank-you videos, and behind-the-scenes coverage.
◆ Further monetization of YouTube
YouTube has paid out a total of $100 billion (approximately 14.65 trillion yen) to creators, artists, and media companies over the past four years. The creator economy is supported by collaborations between creators and brands, and new features will be added to make collaborations easier and increase profitability.
First, sponsorships for longer videos, which were previously permanently 'burned' into them, can now be dynamically inserted into interchangeable slots. This means that brands can remove sponsorships when contracts expire, resell slots to other brands, or sell the same slot to multiple brands in different markets, turning videos into 'living assets' that can help grow their business. Short videos can also now include links specific to brand partners.
YouTube Shopping now boasts over 500,000 creators, with the total number of products sold growing fivefold year-over-year. Product tagging is the most time-consuming part of the process, so to improve the experience, the platform will use AI to automatically tag products. YouTube also plans to begin testing a feature in the second half of 2025 that automatically identifies and tags products featured in videos.
This makes it easier for creators to effectively manage their collaborations with brands.
