Spotify now lets you share podcasts with a timestamp

The feature will allow users to share specific snippets of content on social media.

Spotify has introduced three new options to share content, be it a song or a program, with friends through social networks, which include the possibility of marking a time point to listen to a podcast.

Social networks are a channel for discovering new content, according to a Spotify survey, which highlights that 40 percent of music content is known thanks to these platforms.

With the aim of enhancing discovery, and allowing content to be shared with friends, family and followers, the company has introduced three updates to the service, two of them for Canvas, as reported on its official blog.

Canvas allows artists to share a "short looping visual," a kind of "album for the age of streaming," which can be shared on Instagram Stories and now also via Snapchat.

Users will also be able to preview their Canvas before sending it through the two aforementioned social networks, which the company accompanies with an improvement in the destination list and a new menu in the mobile application.

For podcasts, Spotify has introduced a time marker, so that users can share a program so that the recipients can listen to it just at the moment when something has caught their attention. Until now they could only share a link to the program.
