Here\'s a breakdown of their differences, particularly in terms of URLs and general use:</p><h3>1. <strong>Snap Story</strong> (Regular Snap Stories)</h3><ul><li><strong>Private/Selective Sharing:</strong> Snap Stories are primarily intended for sharing content with friends or a select group of people (your &quot;friends list&quot;). You can choose whether your story is public, shared with specific people, or limited to just you.</li><li><strong>URL Possibility:</strong> A Snap Story can have a <strong>URL</strong> in the form of a link to an external website. This is usually done by adding a <strong>Link Sticker</strong> to a Snap, which allows users to swipe up and visit an external webpage.</li><li><strong>Duration and Viewing:</strong> Snap Stories last for 24 hours and are visible to those you\'ve chosen to share with, either publicly or within your friend group.</li><li><strong>Interaction:</strong> Friends can interact with Snap Stories through replies, emojis, or comments, but these interactions are visible to the story owner and the person who responded.</li></ul><h3>2. <strong>Snap Spotlight</strong></h3><ul><li><strong>Public Sharing:</strong> Spotlight is Snapchat\'s platform for user-generated content that is meant to be <strong>public</strong>. It\'s a place for users to share creative and engaging videos to a much larger audience, potentially reaching people outside their friend circle.</li><li><strong>No URLs in the Same Way:</strong> Unlike Snap Stories, <strong>Spotlight content typically doesn’t include external URLs</strong>. Snapchat focuses on internal engagement (like views, reactions, and comments). However, creators might direct users to other platforms in their captions, but this isn’t the same as a URL embedded in the Snap.</li><li><strong>Monetization:</strong> Spotlight allows creators to potentially earn money based on the performance of their content (views, engagement). This is not something available for regular Snap Stories.</li><li><strong>Duration and Viewing:</strong> Spotlight content is available for public viewing indefinitely (or until the creator deletes it), unlike the 24-hour limit of Snap Stories.</li><li><strong>Interaction:</strong> Users can interact with Spotlight content by swiping up to react or comment, but they don\'t engage in the same direct messaging way that they would with Snap Stories.</li></ul><h3>Key Differences:</h3><ul><li><strong>Audience:</strong> Snap Stories are usually for a private or semi-public audience (friends or specific people), while Spotlight is for a wide, public audience.</li><li><strong>URLs:</strong> Snap Stories can have external URLs via stickers, while Spotlight content focuses more on engaging the audience within Snapchat.</li><li><strong>Purpose:</strong> Snap Stories are more personal and for sharing with friends, while Spotlight is geared toward content creators looking for broader exposure and potential monetization.</li></ul><p>In summary, Snap Stories are more about sharing moments with a smaller audience (with the ability to include external links), while Snap Spotlight is about sharing public, creative content with a wider audience on Snapchat.</p>";s:4:"tags";N;s:5:"state";s:1:"3";s:10:"visibility";s:1:"1";s:8:"priority";N;s:10:"created_on";s:19:"2024-12-03 15:33:31";s:13:"created_by_id";s:1:"4";s:15:"created_by_name";s:17:"ADMIN !!
