Google Launches Veo 2, text-to-video AI generator - Here's How to Use it

Google just rolled out Veo 2, a new video generation tool for Gemini Advanced users that turns text prompts into 8-second, high-quality MP4 clips. Available now for Google One AI Premium subscribers, the tool works on both desktop and mobile and outputs 720p video with smooth motion and cinematic effects.

Users can type out detailed scene descriptions—think “a rainy neon-lit Tokyo alley at night”—and Veo 2 will generate a realistic video clip to match. The clips are easy to download and share directly to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and other platforms, though there is a monthly limit on how many you can create.

Alongside Veo 2, Google also upgraded Whisk Animate, which combines image and text prompts to create short animations. All generated content includes SynthID watermarks to help identify AI-made media, and Google’s usual content guidelines apply to prevent misuse.

1. It is important to note that only Google One AI Premium subscribers will be able to use Veo 2.

2. To access Gemini Advanced, log in via web or mobile (Google app or Gemini site).

3. Look for the Veo 2 tool in the interface under media or experimental features.
