How to make a podcast clip on Spotify
Source: Mashable Tech
Spotify’s podcast Clips feature lets you share a snippet with your friends instead of the entire episode — and it seems to be a win for podcasters.
Launched in May 2026, Clips is available on mobile to both Free and Premium users. It’s an expansion of Chapters, which the company added in 2023 for podcasters to easily mark major moments and ad breaks.
The feature is a handy way to grab the bit of the episode that made you cackle mid‑stroll or the section halfway in you know everyone’s going to be talking about. For example, perhaps you want to share the section of Amy Poehler’s 80‑minute Good Hang interview with Billie Eilish in which they talk about the fact that she’s rewatched The Office over 30 times.
The Clips feature is rolling out globally across a collection of podcasts, which will grow over time. If you don’t have the feature yet, it should appear in your mobile app soon. It’s already been a positive addition for podcasters; according to Spotify, “Early testing has also shown that podcast saving increases when clips are enabled.”
