YouTube is testing AI-generated backgrounds for shorts

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

Google has been making a lot of AI upgrades to its products recently. This time, it is testing a new YouTube Shorts feature called “Dream Screen” that will allow users to have AI-generated images and videos as their videos’ backgrounds.

This comes after YouTube introduced shopping features in April to help boost creators’ earnings on the platform. Interestingly, the new “Dream Screen” feature is YouTube’s second creator-focused release this year, following the initial shopping features.

Dream Screen lets Shorts creators generate custom backgrounds, using images or animations, simply by typing their choice into the tool.

Google is introducing a feature for select users to create AI-generated media from text prompts for Shorts backgrounds.

To check if the Dream Screen feature is available to you, you can go to the Green Screen Menu in the YouTube Shorts Creator. If you’re fortunate to be a user, you can type English prompts to create relevant green screen content.

Google, however, has not given an official statement as to whether it will be releasing this feature officially to over 62 million YouTube creators worldwide per data from DemandSage, but what we know is that it is planning to roll out the feature to more creators later this year.
