Follow the steps below to generate a Stream Key and Stream URL on LinkedIn's Go Live page. After you add the Stream Key and Stream URL to the settings of a Riverside Studio you can preview the live stream or start streaming immediately in a LinkedIn post. Follow the steps below.
IMPORTANT:
In order to stream directly on LinkedIn, you need to be approved for LinkedIn Live Video, a feature not available to all LinkedIn users at this time. If you aren't elibile, you can still post recorded videos to LinkedIn after exporting them from Riverside.
Step by step:
- Using a computer, log in to your LinkedIn account.
- Go to https://www.linkedin.com/video/golive/ to set up a stream on the LinkedIn Live page.
-
On the left under New Stream, select Go live now.
TIP:
You can also Schedule a LinkedIn live stream for later. If you do, LinkedIn generates the Stream Key and Stream URL only one hour before the scheduled time. - Under Create a post on the left, enter a description (optional) and stream Title.
Set up and Preview the Live Stream
- On the right, under the Stream settings tab, choose a nearby region from the list.
- Click Get URL.
A Stream URL and Stream Key are generated on the page. - Copy the Stream URL and the Stream Key from the LinkedIn page and add each to the settings of your Riverside Studio (detailed instructions).
- Click Record in the Riverside studio to send a video signal to LinkedIn.
- Check the LinkedIn Live page for the Preview of the video stream.
NOTE:
It may take 15-20 seconds for the video preview to appear on the LinkedIn page after you start the recording. - When you are ready to share the live stream post, in the top right corner of LinkedIn, click Go live.
IMPORTANT:
Your live stream (and the preview of it) will be visible on LinkedIn only after the Studio's Host starts the recording.
