YouTube launched three updates this week: voice replies for all creators, new AI tools for Shorts, and boosts to Premium Lite. Creators can now send 30-second voice clips to comments with transcripts for personal fan chats. Shorts tests “Add an object” and “Reimagine” AI features to remix clips easily. Premium Lite adds ad-free, offline, and background play from February 24, making paid plans more affordable everywhere.
