Uh.. First it tells me that I can't sign up because my country is supported (yay, EU) and I can sign up to be notified when it's actually available. Great, after I complete that form, I get an error that the form can't be submitted and I'm taken to https://aitestkitchen.withgoogle.com/tools/video-fx where I can only press the "Join our waitlist" button. This takes me to a Google Form, that doesn't have my country in the required country dropdown and has a hint that says: "Note: the dropdown only includes countries where ImageFX and MusicFX are publicly available.". Say what?

Why does this have to be so confusing? Is the name "Veo" or "VideoFX"? Why is the waitlist for VideoFX telling me something about public availability of ImageFX and MusicFX? Why is everything US only, again? Sigh..



We can blame the EU AI act and other regulations for that.


Its not US only though. Mostly just excluding the EU countries until they can be sure to pass all relevant regulations.
