Snapchat Spotlight

Snapchat's feed of short public videos surfaced algorithmically to users beyond a creator's friends list.

What it means in practice

Spotlight distributes eligible vertical videos through a public recommendation feed based on content and viewer signals. Submission, visibility, audio, moderation, and monetization treatment follow Snapchat's current Spotlight rules and creator eligibility requirements.

Why it matters

Creators must consider whether a concept can communicate quickly to a broad recommendation audience while meeting public-content guidelines.

How it is used

A creator submits a campaign-safe vertical video to Spotlight and reviews available insights to assess discovery and engagement.
