LinkedIn Live Overview

Last updated: 1 year ago

LinkedIn Live allows eligible members and Pages to broadcast live video content to a LinkedIn profile, LinkedIn Page, or Event.

Depending on your level of expertise with streaming, you can choose to go live using a third-party broadcast tool or a custom stream (RTMP). With either option, you can go live spontaneously or schedule your live stream in advance to promote it on or off LinkedIn.

If you’d like to become a LinkedIn Live broadcaster, review the create and host LinkedIn Live: access criteria.

Getting started: You cannot stream directly from LinkedIn. A streaming tool is needed to broadcast LinkedIn Lives (Video).

Troubleshoot issues: If you’re running into errors during the set up or streaming process, review these resources for answers to commonly asked questions.

Notes

  • All LinkedIn Lives are public and will be recorded. After a stream is complete, it will remain on the feed of your LinkedIn profile or Page as a video that was Previously recorded live.

  • We recommend enabling two-step verification in account settings to protect your account. All broadcasters should turn this setting on.
