Google's AI video generator, Veo 3, is being rolled out to users in 71 more countries just days after its initial debut. The announcement came from Josh Woodward, Vice President of Gemini at Google, via a post on X (formerly Twitter). While many regions have now gained access to the tool, countries in the European Union remain notably absent from this rollout. When asked by an X user about India not being on the initial list of countries to get Veo 3, Woodward said, 'Working to enable India as fast as we can!'. For those who don't know, Veo 3 can not only generate visuals from text but also synchronise them with lifelike audio. Early adopters have already begun sharing stunning demo clips online, showing how Veo 3 responds with surprising accuracy to both creative and complex prompts.

Those on the higher-tier Ultra subscription — priced at $249.99 (roughly Rs 21,200) per month — gain full access, with daily generation limits and a dedicated Flow mode. Flow is aimed at video creators and comes with 125 generations monthly for Ultra users, while Pro subscribers stick to their ten.

Unveiled at Google's I/O 2025 developer conference earlier this week, Veo 3 introduces several upgrades over its predecessor, Veo 2. Built on a combination of advanced AI systems — natural language processing, text-to-video diffusion, audio synthesis, and lip-syncing tech — what makes this version particularly interesting is its ability to generate videos with audio for the first time. Google says Veo 3 can interpret detailed prompts — everything from moods and tones to cultural settings — and bring them to life with cinematic flair.But alongside its promise, Veo 3 also raises familiar concerns about misuse. The ease with which users can now create convincing fake interviews, protest clips, or even fabricated news segments highlights the growing challenge of verifying visual content online.
