Netflix Launching Moments Feature to Bookmark, Share Biggest Scenes
The ‘Moments’ function lets viewers capture their favorite scenes in a TV show or movie, and share those moments with friends.
The status and financial security that come with being the world’s largest streaming service are allowing Netflix to continue focusing on its customer experience. The streamer is rolling out a new feature called Moments, which will let viewers save their favorite scenes from TV shows and movies and share them with followers on top social media platforms so that they can geek out with their friends about them.
Key Details:
- The Moments feature is available on iOS mobile devices now, and will expand to Android phones in the coming weeks.
- Viewers who tap the Moments button at the bottom of the screen during playback can find that scene in their My Netflix library.
- Netflix Moments can be shared on Instagram, Snapchat, and other social media platforms.
Netflix is launching the new Moments feature on iOS mobile devices initially, and it will expand to Android mobile phones in the next few weeks. The streamer called Moments a “mobile feature” in its Tudum blog post announcing the rollout, so it may not be designed to be available on smart TVs or desktop computers.
The feature is designed to allow viewers to capture and share their favorite scenes from a given TV show or movie for instant recall later on. Subscribers will see the Moments button at the bottom of their screen during playback if they call up the controls, and pressing it will bookmark that particular scene to send to their My Netflix library.
Audiences can share a Moment instantly when they capture it, or go into their My Netflix menu later to share it across all their favorite social platforms. Netflix Moments can be shared on Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and other major social media sites.
The new Moments function will help give viewers a more immersive watching experience. There will surely be jaw-dropping scenes in the new seasons of “Squid Game” or “Stranger Things,” and now Netflix subscribers can save and share those moments instantly to make them an even bigger part of the cultural conversations surrounding such titles.
Netflix has teased even bigger changes for its user interface this year, and the company is always on the lookout for more ways to keep its customers engaged instead of wandering off to watch other streamers. Its Moments feature is just its latest attempt to keep viewers laser-focused on Netflix by granting them the ability to capture and share their favorite scenes with friends.
