Netflix Expands Mobile 'Moments' to Let Viewers Set Start and End Points for Clips

The mobile-only tweak seeks to boost scene sharing around today's Wednesday release.

Overview

  • Users can tap the new Clip button during mobile playback to mark a starting point and an endpoint, creating a custom-length segment.
  • Saved clips appear in the My Netflix tab for later viewing and can be shared on social platforms with deep links back to the exact scene.
  • Netflix timed the update with the launch of Wednesday season 2 Part 2, which features a guest appearance by Lady Gaga.
  • The company says members have already used Moments across thousands of titles since the feature debuted last year.
  • The enhancement fits into Netflix’s mobile push that includes a vertical video feed, with AI-powered search described as coming in the months ahead.
