LinkedIn Live requires special approval. You need to apply for access before you can start streaming.

    LinkedIn will review your application and notify you via email when you're approved for live streaming.

    Once approved, go to your LinkedIn profile and look for the "Live" option in the post creation area.

  2. Create a New Live Stream

    Click on "Create a post" and select "Live video" from the options.

  3. Configure Stream Settings
    Set up your stream details:
    • Add a title for your stream

    • Set privacy settings (public or connections only)
    • Choose relevant hashtags
  4. Get Stream URL and Key
    In the stream setup, you'll find:
