Spotify has launched a feature called Podcast Clips that lets listeners select, trim, and share specific moments from podcast episodes. A new scissors icon in the Now Playing view opens a clipping tool where users can mark a segment of audio, preview it, and share it via social media, messaging apps, or a direct link.
The feature is rolling out globally to both free and Premium users on mobile, 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 sharing interface now offers four options when users tap the share button: a link to the full episode, a specific chapter, a timestamp, or a clip. Clips are the new addition. The others already existed, but the unified sharing menu makes the distinction between them more visible.

Chapters break long episodes into titled sections, making it easier to navigate a two-hour interview without scrubbing through a timeline. Since launch, Chapters have been saved and added to playlists more than 2 million times per month.
