Which LinkedIn links work
LinkedIn identifies posts with an activity or ugcPost number. Any link containing one works:
| Link | Example |
|---|---|
| Share link | linkedin.com/posts/name_topic-activity-72… |
| Feed update | linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:72… |
| UGC post | linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:ugcPost:72… |
Profile, company and job links don’t point to a single video, so they won’t work.
Formats
| Button | File | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Download HD | MP4, usually 720p or 1080p | Slides, big screens, editing |
| Download | Smaller MP4 | Email, chat |
| Download MP3 | 192 kbps audio | Talks and panels you only need to hear |
Use a downloaded LinkedIn video in slides
- Download the HD MP4.
- PowerPoint: Insert › Video › This Device. Google Slides: upload the MP4 to Drive, then Insert › Video › Google Drive.
- Trim it inside the slide app if you need only part.
- Add a credit line such as “Video: Company name on LinkedIn”.
Why download LinkedIn videos?
LinkedIn has no download button, and a great demo or keynote clip is hard to find again in the feed. Teams download LinkedIn videos to show product demos in meetings, trainers keep conference talks for workshops, and job seekers save their own posts as a portfolio.
Troubleshooting
| Message | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Private or unavailable | Connections-only or deleted post | Ask the author for the file |
| No video found | Post has images or a document | Pick a post with a video |
| Link without activity number | Profile or company link | Open the post itself and copy its link |
| Buttons expired | 10-minute limit | Paste the post link again |
For more details on LinkedIn formats, see the LinkedIn video downloader. Credit the author whenever you reuse their video.
