What each generator documents about marking its output

How Veo marks its output

Veo (ai.google.dev) documents its marking in two sentences of API documentation, under Limitations: videos are watermarked with SynthID, and they can be verified using the SynthID verification platform. As of 2026-09-22.

Marking and verification stated in the same two sentencesThe model documentation says, under Limitations, that videos created by Veo are watermarked using SynthID and that they can be verified using the SynthID verification platform. Two facts have to hold before a file can be checked by anyone, and this is the one generator entry that states both together.A request to the modelDeveloperdocumentation, not aplan table.OutputEvery videowatermarkedSynthID, described asthe vendor's tool foridentifyingAI-generated content.A file to checkThe verificationplatformNamed in the sameparagraph as the placea video can beverified.

Inclusion rule. Fields are the same four for every generator on this site; a field the vendor does not publish is recorded as not documented rather than inferred from how the product behaves. Order. Fixed field order, identical on every generator page.

1Marking appears under Limitations, which is where the register found it

The statement is not in a plan table, a policy page or a trust centre. It sits in the developer documentation for the model, in the section that lists what a caller should expect to be constrained by, alongside the practical limits on requests. Placing it there is itself informative: the watermark is presented to developers as a property of the output they will receive, not as a feature they select or a benefit they buy.

Nothing in the documentation describes a visible mark on the frame, and nothing describes a parameter, plan or setting that changes the behaviour. Both of those fields are therefore recorded as not documented, which on this page is the more interesting half of the reading: an API that marks everything and publishes no way to ask it not to.

2The model entry and the marking-scheme entry are deliberately separate rows

This register keeps Veo among the generators and SynthID among the implementers, because the two publish different things. The generator documentation says that output from this model is marked and that verification exists. The scheme's own pages say what the signal is designed to survive, when it is written, and which routes exist for checking a file. Folding them into one row would attach the scheme's robustness claims to a model page that never makes them.

For a reader assembling footage the distinction is practical. Two separate facts have to hold before a file can be checked: the model has to have written the signal, and a route has to exist for whoever holds the file to read it. Veo's documentation is the only generator entry here that states both in the same breath, and it names the platform where the second one happens.
