Google Vids Opens Veo 3.1 Text-to-Video to Everyone, Adds Music and Avatars for Subscribers

The update signals a shift from a workplace editor to a creator tool that pairs a free tier with pro-only controls.

Overview

  • Google now lets all personal accounts in Vids generate Veo 3.1 clips up to eight seconds long, limited to 10 free videos per month.
  • Subscribers on Google AI Pro or Ultra can create custom soundtracks with Lyria 3 and Lyria 3 Pro, spanning 30 seconds to three minutes.
  • Paying users can build consistent AI avatars that follow text prompts, hold a steady face and voice, and interact with uploaded objects.
  • A new Chrome screen recorder captures your screen or camera, and finished projects can publish straight to YouTube with uploads set to Private by default.
  • Premium tiers raise monthly generation limits dramatically, reported up to 1,000 videos, as outlets note Vids evolving into a broader creator platform.
