YouTube has announced a set of new features for YouTube Shorts, some of which are available now, like a new text-to-speech video narration that lets you add an artificial voiceover. On TikTok, those are the sometimes startlingly robotic voices that you hear a lot on videos with something to promote.

The process for adding them is a lot like TikTok’s, in fact: after you create some text, you’ll tap a new “add voice” icon that, in Shorts, sits in the upper-left corner of the screen and pick the voice you want. YouTube only offers four voices to choose from at the moment, whereas TikTok has... quite a few more.

YouTube says it’s also rolling out auto-generated captions you can add to a video without switching to another app like CapCut. Like the existing YouTube Shorts manual text overlay feature, you can change the captions’ style using a selection of fonts and colors.

The company has also added a new set of Minecraft effects — a green screen game-themed background and a minigame called Minecraft Rush.

The new features are part of the overall trend of video platforms bending toward one another like indoor plants jockeying for the same sunbeam. YouTube routinely picks off TikTok features, like live video previews in the regular Shorts feed. And TikTok just keeps extending how long videos can be. For its part, YouTube’s efforts to TikTok-ify Shorts seems to be paying off, both for YouTube and for its creators (or 1 in 4 of them, anyway).
