During a recent public appearance, Netflix Chief Technology Officer Elizabeth Stone revealed that the company is actively exploring the development of vertical video formats as part of its efforts to expand its service boundaries and enhance the mobile user experience. However, Stone made it clear that Netflix has no intention of directly competing with short-form platforms like TikTok.
Discussing the current competitive landscape in the mobile market, Stone noted that consumer demand for content has become increasingly diverse, and Netflix must offer a broader range of formats to meet these evolving expectations.
Referring to Netflix’s existing “Moments” feature—which allows members to capture short clips from shows and films on the platform and share them across social media—Stone described it as “a short-form video experience.”
Although she did not explicitly confirm whether clips generated through Moments would eventually be integrated into a dedicated vertical video feed, the functional overlap between the two has drawn attention, fueling speculation about how Netflix might construct a distinct ecosystem for short-form storytelling.
While outlining the direction for vertical video development, Stone reaffirmed Netflix’s commitment to differentiation, emphasizing that the company does not intend to replicate or chase the trajectory of platforms like TikTok.
She stressed that for Netflix’s members, certain categories of entertainment—particularly those capable of capturing “real moments”—hold unique emotional and experiential value. This, she said, is where Netflix must focus its creative energy, rather than striving for universal dominance across all forms of content.
Beyond video, Netflix is also expanding into the audio domain. Stone disclosed that under a recent partnership with Spotify, Netflix will begin distributing podcast content through its own platform. She added that both vertical video and podcasts will serve as Netflix’s next frontiers of innovation, with some productions offered as dual-platform exclusives—available only on Netflix and Spotify, and synchronized across mobile and television interfaces.
