If you’d like to become a LinkedIn Live broadcaster, review the create and host LinkedIn Live: access criteria. If you believe you meet the criteria, follow the instructions and get access instantly. There are no applications to request LinkedIn Live access.

No, all LinkedIn members, as well as LinkedIn Page admins, are eligible to gain access to Live Video if they meet the access criteria.

For members, you’ll be streaming from your personal LinkedIn profile.

For LinkedIn Page admins, you’ll be streaming on behalf of a LinkedIn Page.

Note: An individual member who is a broadcaster can’t stream to a LinkedIn Page. Similarly, LinkedIn Page admins can’t stream directly to their own profiles.

In order to gain an audience, we recommend for a stream to run for at least 10 minutes. The maximum stream time is four hours.

Some of the third-party tools allow you to stream to LinkedIn and another platform at the same time. If simulcasting is something you’re interested in, we encourage you to explore all of the third-party broadcast tools that have integrated with LinkedIn Live.

Notifications are sent to a subset of your followers. If one of your followers is online on the LinkedIn desktop or the LinkedIn mobile app, they’ll receive a dropdown alert to notify them that you’re live streaming. If they aren’t online but have push notifications enabled, they may receive a push notification. Learn more about push notifications.

To maintain trust with your followers, we discourage streaming pre-recorded content. All live streams should be happening in real time.

Apart from the computer, phone, or tablet you’re streaming from, you’ll need an additional device that is separate to see the stream on LinkedIn.

For your live stream, you can delete, report or block any comments or viewers. To do this, you can view the comments on a separate device or browser window as you stream. We recommend that at least one person is dedicated to moderation.

Some third-party tools will give you the option to ‘record locally’ so you’ll be able to host a copy of the stream on your device. However, you can’t download a live stream from the LinkedIn website or app, so any footage you download will not include the engagement (reactions and comments).

As a member, you can view your analytics by clicking on the number of views below the video post in your feed.

As a LinkedIn Page, navigate to the Visit your Analytics tab and click Updates. Scroll down until you see your live video post and click on the hyperlinked number for video views to see more insights.

Once a stream is complete, it will remain on the feed of your LinkedIn Page or profile as a video that was ‘Previously recorded live’.

To watch an individual member’s live stream replay, you can go to their profile’s recent activity and filter by ‘posts’. You can also access the replay if the broadcaster shares the URL directly.

To watch a LinkedIn Page’s live stream replay, you can visit their Page’s feed.
