Washington [US]: Snapchatters can now add dozens of popular quotes and audio clips from NBCUniversal movies and TV shows on Snapchat’s Sounds to their Snaps. As per Variety, Snapchat has reached a deal with NBCUniversal that will bring audio clips from hit films and TV shows like ‘Bridesmaids’, ‘The Office’, ‘Parks and Recreation’, ‘Back to the Future’, ‘Shrek’ and ‘Saturday Night Live’ (SNL) to the platform.
