Today, YouTube’s “Made On YouTube” livestream showed off some cool new features that are meant to compete with TikTok and Netflix. From new AI ideas to tools that make it easier for creators to work, these five improvements stand out:
- “The Hype System” A new tool called “Hype” is coming to YouTube that lets fans help smaller creators. The Hype method only works for channels with less than 500,000 followers and movies that are less than a week old. A new list of the top 100 most-hyped videos by country will show the videos that are getting the most attention. Fans can hype up to three times a week, and in the future, they will be able to buy more hypes.
- The Veo Video Generator for Shorts from Google DeepMind Soon, people who make YouTube Shorts will be able to use Google DeepMind’s Veo movie maker. This AI tool makes six-second clips based on what the user says. This makes it easy and faster to make videos. To keep things honest, all material made by AI will have a SynthID watermark and a title saying that it used generative AI.
- Changes to the “Community Tab” A lot of changes are being made to the Community tab. People who are users will be able to post in the Community tab before the beginning of 2025. The goal of this update is to get people more involved in channels by getting users to share photos and start conversations.
- Auto-Dubbing Powered by AI Another important function is auto-dubbing that is driven by AI. YouTube is trying to make content more available around the world by letting users choose which languages to use for machine translations of videos. This function will provide voices that sound natural, ensuring correct translation while keeping the tone and atmosphere of the original work.
- NEW VERSIONS OF THE YouTube TV APP YouTube is making changes to its TV app that will let artists organise material into seasons and episodes, just like Netflix does. You will also be able to see previews of the content before you play it. The start of this function was set for next year, but no exact date was given.
These changes show that YouTube wants to give producers more power and improve the user experience, which will help it stay competitive in the ever-changing content market.
