At its annual Made on YouTube event this week, YouTube unveiled tons of new updates, features, and tools geared toward creators, including updates to YouTube Live, new ways to monetize, and more. Studio updates include “likeness” detection and lip-synced dubs, and the company is offering new AI tools for podcasters to help promote their shows. Here’s everything announced at Made on YouTube. A NEW STUDIO [https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/youtube-ask-studio.jpeg?w=680]YouTube CEO Neal Mohan at Made on YouTube 2025Image Credits:YouTube The company showed off new and updated tools to Studio [https://techcrunch.com/2025/09/16/youtube-rolls-out-studio-updates-likeness-detection-lip-synced-dubs-creator-collabs-and-more/], which creators use to manage their channels and track analytics. Updates include an inspiration tab, title A/B testing features, auto dubbing, and more. What caught our attention is the “likeness”-detection feature, which was announced last year and made available to a few creators; it’s now in open beta. People will be able to detect, manage, and flag for removal any unauthorized videos using their facial likeness. An AI-powered Ask Studio can guide users and answer questions about their account, and creators will be able to collaborate with up to five other people on one video, which is available to the audiences of all the participating video makers.
