How to Link Something in a LinkedIn Post

Walk through this interactive demo to learn how to link something in a LinkedIn post.
  1. To link something in a LinkedIn post, click the ‘Start a post’ section on your dashboard to begin creating your post.
  2. In the post box, you may paste any URL, such as a video, article, or website link, which will automatically generate a preview.
  3. For a video, paste the video URL in the post box, and LinkedIn will generate a playable preview within your post.
  4. Similarly, for any other site, such as a school website, paste the URL in the post box, and LinkedIn will generate a preview of the link.
  5. Also, you may attach documents or files by clicking the 'paper' icon at the bottom of the post box.

📌 Why this matters

Adding links to your LinkedIn posts transforms simple text updates into engaging, interactive content that drives real action. When you share articles, videos, or resources with proper previews, you're not just posting—you're curating valuable content that positions you as a thought leader in your field. The preview functionality does the heavy lifting by making your links visually appealing and trustworthy, significantly increasing click-through rates. This approach helps you build stronger professional relationships by consistently providing your network with resources they actually want to engage with and share.
