YouTube Shorts is about to look a little more like Instagram Reels
Joe Hindy / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube Shorts now lets creators place product stickers on their videos. Tapping on the sticker will redirect the viewer to the retailer's website for that product. Viewers can see the full list of products the creator tagged by tapping on the down arrow. You may see something new on the screen the next time you watch a YouTube Shorts video. The platform is giving creators a new tool to get you to buy the products they're advertising. If you make or watch Instagram Reels, you may be familiar with the concept of stickers. Simply put, they are just little graphics you can place on your videos. However, if you're a business, partner, or have a qualified account, then you can also create product stickers for brands and shops to earn money. What does this have to do with YouTube? The company is taking this concept and applying it to YouTube Shorts. In a post on the YouTube support site, the company announced that the previous shopping button on Shorts is getting upgraded to product stickers. If you're wondering why this change is happening, it appears to be more than just a way to make the shopping button more fun. According to Google, an experiment conducted in May 2025 showed that users were 40% more likely to click on product stickers than the shopping button. If you're a creator, you'll be able to create a sticker by tagging products. You'll be able to tag multiple products, but the generated sticker will appear as the first product in your list. If you want the sticker to look like a different product, you can reorder your list so the desired product is listed first. Additionally, you'll be able to change the size of the sticker and place it wherever you want. However, sizing and placement can only be done in the YouTube mobile app. For viewers, if you tap on the sticker, you'll be redirected to the retailer's website. If the creator tagged multiple products, there will be a down arrow on the sticker you can tap on to see the full product list. With the exception of South Korea, this feature is available globally. However, Google says it plans to expand the feature to that market soon. So you'll likely start seeing stickers on Shorts sooner rather than later. Got a tip? Talk to us!

Google will let creators generate videos for YouTube Shorts using the Veo 3 AI model
Late last year, Google introduced the 'Dream Screen' feature for YouTube Shorts – this is a play on words on 'green screen' and allows content creators to use AI generated images and videos as a background for their videos. The company is building on this capability and will soon integrate its latest Veo 3 model into Shorts. This will allow creators to generate elaborate and fairly polished-looking video clips to use in their shorts with just a text prompt. This was announced by YouTube CEO Neal Mohan while attending the Cannes Lions film festival. The integration is expected to go live later this summer. Here is a demo of what Dream Screen can do right now: Keep in mind that this feature was based on the older Veo 2 model. And now here's what Veo 3 can do. Note that the AI model generated not just the visuals, but also all the sound effects and even the voices for the characters. Mohan's presentation at the Cannes Lions festival included some interesting numbers. YouTube Shorts launched in 2021 and is already averaging 200 billion views per day. Per. Day. Mind you, there are only 8 billion people on Earth. Mohan said: 'My bet for the next 20 years? Creators will flip formats, blend genres, and push deeper into the mainstream — as brand ambassadors, big business ventures and visionary storytellers. Communities will continue to surprise us with the power of their collective fandom. And cutting-edge AI technology will push the limits of human creativity.' Source
