How to download a LinkedIn video video in 3 steps

Have you found how to download a LinkedIn video that you really want to keep, reuse and share? Follow these two simple steps to make sure you always have them with you. 🥳

How do I download a LinkedIn video in web format?

Uploading a video to LinkedIn takes just two seconds – right click 😉

You used to have the option « Save video as… » on LinkedIn. But for copyright reasons, you no longer have this button.

You can now :

• Click on my three little dots at the top of the video, then “copy link to post”.

• Use the keyboard shortcut “CTRL + S”.

Clicking on these two buttons will open a window asking you what name you want to give the video and where on your computer you want to save it.

In both cases, it doesn’t matter which option you choose: what you’re saving isn’t a video format, it’s a web format. In other words, it’s a link to the video on LinkedIn.

You can then view it whenever you like, provided you have an internet connection. 🤓

How do I download a LinkedIn video in MP4 format?

Yes, it’s now possible torecord a video in MP4 format on your PC.

And it’s free.

You have access to all webinars, training courses, tutorials and promotional videos. You can reuse them in a slideshow, a presentation, to train your teams, etc.

It’s magical. ✨

It’s LinkedIn Video Downloader.

All you need to do is :

• Download the chrome extension.
• From the “pin” to your current extensions.

• Refresh the LinkedIn page or disconnect and reconnect.
  
  All LinkedIn videos will now have buttons on the left to download the video.

How do I share a video on LinkedIn?

To share a video on LinkedIn you have two options:

• You can download it directly onto your PC and then rewrite a post on the network.
• You can share it directly via the “share” button on LinkedIn.

Ps: I’d like to point out that this video is about Karate. 😂

What video format should I use to publish on LinkedIn?

The best format to publish LinkedIn video is MP4 (not MP3).

Here are all the formats LinkedIn supports:

• ASF.
• FLV.
• MPEG-1 and MPEG-4.
• MKV.
• WebM.
• H264/AVC.
• MP4.
• VP8 and VP9.
• WMV2 and WMV3.

Here are the formats not supported by the network (updated end of 2021).

• AVI.
• Prores.
• MPEG-2.
• Raw video.
• VP6 (VP6).
• WMV1 (en).
• Quicktime.
• MOV.

How do I convert video files?

Would you like to use a video converter because you’ve realized that the output format of your video doesn’t match?

Indeed, if you want to put a video online, you’re going to have to (sometimes, go through this step).

There’s a free online video converter that lets you save a video in a completely new format.

If you want to dig into the even more technical side of LinkedIn video, here’s some additional information:

• Resolution range: from 256 x 144 to 4096 x 2304 pixels.
• Proportions: 1:2.4 – 2.4:1.
• Speed: from 192 kbit/s to 30 Mbit/s.

But honestly, we don’t really care about that, unless you get an error message and your video can’t load.

At this point you can look at LinkedIn‘s Help Center. 👆 or ask a knowledgeable person who will be able to help you change these settings.

Since they’re fairly standard, if you’re using conventional tools (smartphone, PC) you shouldn’t have any problems.

It’s only if you’ve invested in top-of-the-range capture equipment that you’re likely to have to adapt a few things. No big deal. No need to panic. 🤗

What’s the maximum weight for a LinkedIn video?

Your video must respect certain dimensions and sizes in order to fit in with LinkedIn. It’s quite logical.

LinkedIn’s algorithm wants to ensure that people have a good time on the network (that’s how LinkedIn makes its money)…

Okay, but what format? 🤔

• Maximum file size: 5 GB.
• Minimum file size: 75 Kb.

How can I reduce the size of a video without destroying its quality?

You can use videosmaller, it’s free, and super easy to use.

You have the option of clicking the “low compression for best quality” box.

I did the test with or without it, and the quality is still pretty good. You’ll have to do the test on your own, it depends on your video 😉

What’s the maximum length for a LinkedIn video?

Following the same logic, LinkedIn won’t let you publish a 60-minute video talking about your thesis on the influence of paperclips in open spaces. 📎 LinkedIn wants quality content, short and to the point.

Maximum video length:

• 15 minutes when downloading from the desktop.
• 10 minutes when downloaded from the LinkedIn Applis mobile.
• Minimum video length: 3 seconds
