Netflix Moments Feature Explained – Tech Advisor

Have you ever been watching a captivating show like Arcane or Squid Game and come across a scene that you just have to share with your friends?

For a long time, Netflix has restricted its subscribers from sharing such moments, citing copyright protection as the reason. However, there has been a shift in Netflix’s approach, now allowing for a more flexible sharing feature – possibly to boost fan engagement and viewership.

Introducing Netflix Moments, a new global feature on the mobile app that enables users to capture and save scenes from the shows they watch on the platform.

In a statement to Variety, Marian Lee, Netflix’s chief marketing officer, expressed:

Have you ever experienced that overwhelming feeling when a scene, character, or line from a show or movie sticks with you, and you just have to message your friends, ‘You need to watch this, it’s amazing!’? From inspiring Halloween costumes to becoming viral sensations on TikTok, the incredible fandoms we witness are a testament to what makes Netflix exceptional. Our new campaign celebrates these unforgettable moments, bringing you back to the excitement you felt when you first fell in love with a great Netflix show.

That’s all there is to it! The captured scenes will be saved in the My Netflix tab. You can revisit them on your phone and share them via social media, text message, or by copying the link.
