Spotify launched Podcast Clips, letting listeners select and trim specific segments from podcast episodes using a scissors icon in the Now Playing view. Users can mark a portion of audio, preview it, and share it through social media, messaging apps, or a direct link. The feature is rolling out globally on mobile to both free and Premium users, with support expanding to more shows over time. Saved clips are stored in a user’s Spotify Library and can be added to podcast playlists. The share menu includes options for the full episode, a chapter, a timestamp, or a clip. The feature builds on Spotify’s Chapters tool, which automatically segments long episodes into titled sections and has been saved and added to playlists millions of times per month.

"That dynamic also serves Spotify's business interests. Every clip shared to Instagram, X, or WhatsApp is a piece of market..."
