The popularity of TikTok paved the way for other apps with similar features. Instagram already has a similar feature as TikTok called Instagram Reels, while Snapchat has Spotlight. Now, the popular video-streaming app Netflix is planning to add a new feature called 'Kids Clips' on its platform. It will show short videos or clips from the kids' content library on Netflix.

The feature was first spotted by developer Steve Moser and reported by Bloomberg. The Kids Clips feature is quite similar to 'Fast laughs which were introduced earlier this year and it shows short-form funny clips from various shows and movies available on Netflix.

Similarly, Kids Clips will show short videos from existing movies and shows from the kids' content library on Netflix. However, kids will be able to watch 10 to 20 clips at a time. Besides, there will be an emoji button to react if kids like the video and provide options to view the show or movie directly.
