You know that moment when you’re watching a show like Arcane or Squid Game and an amazing scene happens that you want to share with your friends?
For a long time, Netflix prevented its subscribers from such actions, explaining its decision by copyright protection. Now it appears the service has had a change of heart and decided to take a more flexible approach to sharing – and perhaps use fan engagement to encourage more views.
Netflix Moments is a new global mobile app feature that lets you capture and save scenes from productions you watch on the service.
As Marian Lee, Netflix’s chief marketing officer, told Variety:
You know that feeling when a scene, character or line from a show or movie sticks with you and you can’t help but text your friends: “You have to watch this , it’s so good! » ? From sparking Halloween costume ideas to becoming a TikTok sensation, the incredible fandoms we see are a testament to what makes Netflix amazing. Our new campaign aims to celebrate those unforgettable moments, taking you back to the feeling you had when you first became obsessed with a great series on Netflix.

How do Netflix Moments work?
The Netflix Moments feature is available on the mobile app. If you want to record a scene while watching a movie or series, tap anywhere on the screen. A button called “Moments” will appear on the bottom bar. Select it, then choose “Save” and close the feature.

And that’s about it! The captured scenes will be saved in the My Netflix tab. You can view them on your phone and share them via social networks, by SMS or by copying the link.

When you share a clip via social media, it will not play as a video. It will appear in your post as a link that will send viewers to the marked scene on their own Netflix app.
The Moments feature also works as a bookmark. When you turn the show or movie back on, it will start playing from the scene you captured with the Moments tool.
