Create, publish, and manage clips from live shows

Clips let you capture the last 60 seconds of any Whatnot live show, then trim, share, and publish it. Anyone can clip a show. 

Published clips appear on both the clipper’s profile and the seller’s profile (if they have clips on). 

Note: You can create, edit, and publish clips on the iOS and Android mobile apps. Clips can be viewed on mobile or web.

Create and edit a clip

You can clip your own show or someone else’s while it’s live.

Good to know:

• Clips must be at least 5 seconds long
• Once you edit a clip, it can’t be edited again
• Clips you create are private by default and saved to your profile

2. Go to View Profile
3. Open the Clips tab

Once published:
