YouTube launches AI-powered highlight tool to automatically create stream clips

by

YouTube is introducing new tools to help creators connect with more viewers and increase interaction. One key feature uses artificial intelligence to automatically create short, shareable videos from livestreams.

The platform’s new update uses AI to automatically find the most exciting parts of live streams and create short, shareable videos. This helps creators keep their audience engaged long after the stream is over, without having to spend time editing the footage themselves.

This new AI tool helps creators easily turn their live streams and longer videos into short, engaging clips. By making it simpler to create these shorts, the tool aims to attract more viewers and keep content relevant for longer. YouTube is focusing heavily on short-form video, and this tool helps live streams become a key source for discovering new short videos.

YouTube’s focus on discoverability

This new feature helps people find more creators on YouTube. In addition to highlighting popular content, YouTube will now let creators stream in both horizontal and vertical formats at the same time, bringing all viewers together in one chat.

YouTube Shorts launched in February 2024, letting creators stream videos in both horizontal and vertical formats simultaneously. However, until recently, creators had to manage separate chat windows to interact with viewers on each stream. Now, this has been streamlined.

The company is growing a test feature that allows creators to react in real-time to other live streams using their phones, letting viewers share the experience together.

YouTube announced that it has paid creators worldwide over $100 billion since 2021, along with the launch of its new AI-powered highlighting tool.
