About YouTube.

YouTube is an online video-sharing platform founded in February 2005 by PayPal employees Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim. Google acquired YouTube in 2006 for $1.65 billion, and it now operates as a subsidiary of Google’s parent company, Alphabet. Headquartered in San Bruno, California, YouTube allows users to upload, view, rate, and share videos, and it has grown into the second-most-visited website globally, boasting over 2.7 billion monthly active users.

    Made On YouTube: event and product recap

    YouTube: We just wrapped our Made On YouTube event, where we unveiled all the latest tools that are coming soon to help push the boundaries of creator innovation. Curious what everything looked like from the show floor? Here’s a quick recap of everything you may have missed.

    So what does each feature look like? Here’s a closer look:

    Dream Screen

    Our new experimental feature allows creators to dream up AI-generated video or image backgrounds to their YouTube Shorts. Simply type an idea into a prompt and watch what it creates!

    YouTube Create

    To streamline the production process, we’re launching a new mobile app called YouTube Create. Currently in beta on Android in select markets, this free app can be used to make Shorts or longer videos, allowing creators to edit, soundtrack, add captions and more — all from their mobile phones.

    AI Insights

    Ever get stuck on what videos to make next? AI Insights is designed to help spark your next idea and outline suggestions based on what your audience is already watching on YouTube. In our initial test, more than 70 percent of those surveyed said it’s helped them develop and test ideas for videos.

    Aloud

    YouTube reaches audiences globally, so we’re bringing an AI-powered dubbing tool that will help creators open up their content to viewers across the world.

    Assistive Search in Creator Music

    Find the perfect soundtrack for your video by typing in a description of your content and AI will suggest the right music at the right price.

    Held at Pier 57 in New York City, there were also appearances by our favorite creators, including appearances from creators BENOFTHEWEEK, Mai Pham, Charlie Puth, Cleo Abram, Jade Beason and Alan Chikin Chow.
