Mohan didn’t specify exactly what Veo 3 will enable in Shorts, but he did mention Veo 3’s improved video quality and that it can incorporate audio, so presumably those upgrades will be coming to Shorts.

Google’s new Veo 3 integration into YouTube Shorts will let brands and creators generate short-form videos from text prompts, transforming how ads are made.

The Veo 3 video generator is capable of creating both videos and sound based on text prompts, with YouTube CEO Neal Mohan saying the "AI technology will push the limits of human creativity."
