LinkedIn is the largest networking platform.
On LinkedIn, you can connect with different people or follow various organizations as you look for an opportunity for a job vacancy or to keep up with updates and trends.
People share a lot on LinkedIn, including videos, and when you encounter a worthwhile video, you can decide to share it with your friends on WhatsApp.
So, how can you share LinkedIn videos on WhatsApp?
Videos on LinkedIn are available for people to view and download. When you locate the target video you want to share, click on the three dots on its right and click the “Share Via” option. Next, select WhatsApp as the destination source and select the contact with whom you want to share the LinkedIn video. Alternatively, you can download the LinkedIn video to your gallery and upload it as a media file.
We will begin by understanding whether WhatsApp supports the sharing of LinkedIn videos. Next, we will focus on two ways that you can use to share your LinkedIn video with your WhatsApp friends.
Can You Share LinkedIn Videos on WhatsApp?
LinkedIn allows you to share different posts for your followers or the general public to view.
When you are following someone on LinkedIn, you can encounter different videos or posts that you can share with your friends so they can get a glimpse of the particular post.
Videos you share from other platforms to your WhatsApp will be shared as a link, not the video itself. That way, the person you share the video with can click on the link to access it on their browser.
However, if you wish to share the video, you must first download it to your phone and upload it as a media file directly from WhatsApp.
How To Share LinkedIn Videos on WhatsApp
When you have a LinkedIn account, you can share posts to your profile for others to interact with them.
Similarly, when you view other people’s posts, you can copy the video’s link, report the post, or share the video’s post.
