While video models often “hallucinate” unwanted details — extra fingers or unexpected objects, for example — Veo 2 produces these less frequently, making outputs more realistic.

Our commitment to safety and responsible development has guided Veo 2. We have been intentionally measured in growing Veo’s availability, so we can help identify, understand and improve the model’s quality and safety while slowly rolling it out via VideoFX, YouTube and Vertex AI.

Just like the rest of our image and video generation models, Veo 2 outputs include an invisible SynthID watermark that helps identify them as AI-generated, helping reduce the chances of misinformation and misattribution.

Today, we’re bringing our new Veo 2 capabilities to our Google Labs video generation tool, VideoFX, and expanding the number of users who can access it. Visit Google Labs to sign up for the waitlist. We also plan to expand Veo 2 to YouTube Shorts and other products next year.
