How to add video to LinkedIn profile

Continuing from our conversation on the influence of video marketing in social media, let us move ahead to another important aspect of video marketing.

Today, we're going to talk about adding video to your LinkedIn profile. As I said earlier, LinkedIn is one of the influential platforms of social media that can create wonders for you if used properly.

LinkedIn allow its users to add various third-party applications to their profile. Later, those applications can be shared with other LinkedIn users. Sharing video is one such important utility that LinkedIn has offered to its users.

So, let us see how can we do it.

1) Log in to your LinkedIn account.
2) Once logged in, click on the 'More' tab
3) Click on 'Get more applications'
4) Scroll through the list of available applications
5) Click on the 'Google Presentation'
6) Add this application to your profile
7) Once you add this application to your profile, it will ask you to sign in to your Google Docs account to add presentation
8) Once in your Google Docs account, click on the 'presentation' in 'Create new' tab
9) Then click on 'Insert' tab to add video
10) Then it will ask you to search video from YouTube
11) Once the appropriate video is selected, rename it and save it
12) GO back to your profile to see the uploaded video
13) Finally, post the video to your profile

This video can be shared with all of your LinkedIn connections. So when somebody visits your profile, he/she can see this video directly on your profile. This is an influential way to communicate with your target audience without sharing any external link on LinkedIn.

So what are you waiting for now? Share your products, services, and much more through videos directly from your LinkedIn profile.

More tips, insights and discussions will follow.

Till then, stay connected!
