As the world’s most social audio streaming experience, SoundCloud enables authentic, real-time connections between artists and fans.

To help you stay connected, we’ve introduced shortcuts, making it easier than ever to quickly share the most relevant updates with your fans and keep them in the loop.

How do I select the portion of my track I’d like to preview?

During the upload of your track (or later, by editing your track), you can navigate to the Advanced tab of the upload module and drag the rectangle on screen to the 20-second clip you’d like to use as your Stories preview.

If I don’t select a specific portion of my track to be previewed in Stories, what will the default audio selection be?

50 seconds except for Go+ paywalled tracks and tracks shorter than 90 seconds, where the start time is at 00:00.
