Fans watching 'Glee: The Concert Movie' on Blu-ray and DVD will see Shazam prompts on the screen alerting them to a Shazamable moment. Using their smartphones, fans can “tag” the movie when prompted to unlock exclusive content, including:

Additionally, with the Shazam Friends feature, they can share their finds with their Facebook friends.
