Netflix is making it easier to bookmark and share your favorite parts of a show

Netflix is launching a new feature called “Moments” that lets you save and share bookmarks to a specific spot in a show or movie. The feature seems like it could be a very useful way to share parts of something you’re watching with friends or on social media.

To capture a moment, tap on the screen while you’re watching something on Netflix to see the various menu options, then tap on the new “Moments” button to pop up a new menu, and then tap the save button. From the Moments menu, you can also see other Moments you’ve saved for that show or movie and share Moments to various apps. You can also copy a link to the Moment to your clipboard.

It’s all pretty easy to use, and I think a lot of people are going to be sharing links to their favorite scenes with their group chats or to their social networks. I could also see Moments being widely used as a personal bookmarking tool. Instead of scouring YouTube to find the exact clip of a certain moment in a show you want to rewatch, you could just watch it from your personal library of saved clips.

If you do end up being a frequent user of Moments, it sounds like you probably won’t have to worry about having too many of them. “The number of Moments you can save depends on the length of the content,” spokesperson Dorian Rosenburg tells The Verge. “However, there’s plenty of space to save your favorite Moments, so most members won’t need to worry about a limit when it comes to saving across multiple shows and movies.”

The ability to make Moments is launching globally on iOS today, and it will arrive in the “coming weeks” on Android. Netflix currently doesn’t have plans to bring the feature to the web or TVs, Rosenburg says. But in its blog post about the news, Netflix says that “Moments will hopefully expand in the future, offering even more ways for members to use and enjoy the feature.”
