LinkedIn Live Streaming

LinkedIn Live is a feature on Linkedin that lets you broadcast video streams in real-time. Not everyone can access the LinkedIn Live Video feature, though. Only members who apply and meet certain criteria can go live on LinkedIn. This includes having more than 150 followers, sharing original content, and following LinkedIn’s policies.

If you’re unable to live stream on LinkedIn, you can always check out Riverside’s live features, which let you multistream to various social media channels at once.

Those with access to LinkedIn live streaming must connect your LinkedIn to the streaming encoder software you choose, such as Riverside. After that, it’s simple. You hit record from your streaming platform, broadcasting your stream to LinkedIn.

These generally come at a fee, but they’re worth the investment if you choose software that meets all your needs. For example, suppose you’re looking to stream to platforms beyond LinkedIn, repurpose your content professionally and engage with your audience in real-time. In that case, Riverside might be the option for you.
