What's new

YouTube will automatically apply a label to videos with significant photorealistic AI content when creators don't disclose it.

Where labels appear

  • Long-form videos: directly below the player.
  • Shorts: as an overlay.
  • Unrealistic or lightly altered content: in the expanded description.

For creators

  • Wrong labels can be corrected in YouTube Studio.
  • Labels are permanent for content made with Veo, Dream Screen, or carrying C2PA metadata.
  • Labels don't affect recommendations or monetization.
