Note: YouTube is constantly testing new, experimental features. This feature is currently only available to a limited set of creators in certain countries. The limited experiment is intended to ensure that we are taking the proper steps to learn and build for any future iterations of the product. Global audiences can use the Shorts 'as is' to remix them into their own Shorts.
Dream Screen is an experimental AI-generated feature from YouTube that lets you bring your imagination to life.
