Snapchat partners with NBCUniversal to give users access to more audio clips


As access to unique sounds is becoming a competitive advantage for social apps, Snapchat announced today it's inked a deal with NBCUniversal to give users access to licensed audio clips from various NBCU movies and TV shows. With this latest launch, users can add to their Snaps audio clips from fan favorites such as "Saturday Night Live" and "The Office," then send them to other users or post them to Snapchat Spotlight.

When someone sends you a Snap with a sound, you’ll be able to swipe up to view the title of the movie or TV series from which the audio originated. A “Play This Sound” link will open a webpage that will display the streaming platforms where you can watch whichever movie or TV show the audio is from.
