One of the undisputed leaders in music streaming, Spotify is simply committed to maintaining its lead. So, in 2026 alone, Spotify has added a number of exciting updates, including a feature that allows Spotify Premium users to listen to narrated articles from a wide range of publications. With the podcasting trend showing no signs of slowing down, it’s no surprise that Spotify has decided to offer a massive upgrade to both free and premium users.
According to the official press release, with the new Spotify feature you can share and save podcast clips. By simply pressing a single button in the Now Playing tab, users can trim the clip to their liking and save it directly to their library. While this makes it very easy to revisit your favorite moments, there is also the option to share the clips via Spotify messages or other supported platforms.
The aptly named “Podcast Clips” radically overhauls the podcast sharing experience. The ability to save and share an episode, a single chapter, or a small clip is a welcome addition that makes it easier to find exact moments instead of digging through the episode (or waiting for your friends to scroll through the progress bar). It’s not just users who will benefit from the new feature. Spotify notes that these clips represent a potential entry point for listeners, meaning creators themselves could see improved discovery rates.
How to use Spotify’s Podcast Clips feature
To find the Spotify feature for sharing and saving podcast clips, start by launching your favorite pod. Next, move to the “Now Playing” view where you can find the scissors icon. Tapping on it will bring up the familiar trimming interface, similar to those found in other apps that allow media editing.
After adjusting the length to your liking, you are free to press “Save” to add the clip to “Your Library”, where you can watch it again anytime. Alternatively, the “Share” button gives you many additional options. You can share clips, chapters, or just a timestamp with other Spotify accounts. It’s the same as sharing songs or albums, since you can also send the new podcast clip outside of the app.
Spotify remains one of the best podcast platforms, and this new feature makes the experience a little more intuitive. In addition to satisfying existing users, the improved sharing functionality could also help attract new users to Spotify’s podcast ecosystem. While this is just speculation, the ability to share clips could even lead to a viral moment – and that could be the whole point of the new update.
