Getting started
Like with any integration, the first step is getting connected! To connect your Wistia account to LinkedIn Live, head to the Integrations page in Account Settings and select the LinkedIn Live integration.
Note
The LinkedIn Live integration requires connecting to a business page. If you are trying to connect to a personal page, the connection will fail. You can learn more about LinkedIn business pages here.
After clicking “Connect,” you’ll be taken to LinkedIn to log in and finish setting up. Once connected, you’ll be able to select the business page for your stream and the closest region the asset should be registered to.
Going live on LinkedIn
Note
Your LinkedIn business page must meet LinkedIn’s access criteria in order to broadcast on their platform.
After completing the steps above, you can enable simulcasting to LinkedIn on any of your upcoming live events. Just head to the Simulcast tab on your live event’s Overview page and check off “LinkedIn Live.”
With this setting enabled, all you have left to do is go live!
FAQs
I just went live in Wistia. Why is my stream not appearing on LinkedIn?
It takes a few seconds for the stream to show up on LinkedIn, and you’ll need to reload the page posts to see it populate.
Where can I find the URL for my LinkedIn live stream?
You can find the URL for the LinkedIn live stream after going live by clicking the “Simulcast” icon in the Event Room or by visiting the event page on LinkedIn.
Can I create a scheduled event on LinkedIn with this integration?
At this time, our integration only allows you to generate a post on LinkedIn at the time you go live. It is not possible to create a scheduled event on LinkedIn with our integration. However, you can achieve this with RTMP streaming instead.
