YouTube is rolling out two new features that will change how creators engage their audiences:
• AI stickers for Shorts – generate custom stickers with text-to-image prompts, plus the option to turn your own photos into stickers.
• Live sticker polls – overlay interactive polls directly on your live streams, with customizable colors, size, and up to four options.
AI stickers are starting on Android in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, while live polls will expand globally on Android and iOS in the coming weeks.
Why it matters: more creative tools mean new ways to stand out in Shorts, while interactive polls can drive deeper real-time engagement during live streams. For brands and creators, it’s worth testing how these features fit into your content and community strategy.
