id=\"0-what-is-linkedin-live-video-\"><strong>What is LinkedIn Live Video?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Linked Live Video is a LinkedIn feature that allows you to stream live videos to your followers from your profile or company page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, it\u2019s pretty powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can stream anything from seminars to eternal live events from the biggest professional social network in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, LinkedIn Live Video isn\u2019t as easy to use as Facebook or Instagram live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, you need to ask for permission before you can start streaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-the-linkedin-live-video-criteria-\"><strong>The LinkedIn Live Video Criteria<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>LinkedIn doesn\u2019t let just anyone start posting live videos on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to apply for the privilege and wait for LinkedIn to give you the green light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now LinkedIn does this to make sure that people don\u2019t abuse the feature and that the platform\u2019s standards for content are upheld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are their rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>If you have less than 150 followers or connections, you won\u2019t be allowed to go live on Linkedin. This shouldn\u2019t be a problem if you\u2019re active on the platform.<\/li><li>Profiles and LinkedIn Pages that are based in the Chinese mainland do not have access to the feature.<\/li><li>You need to be active in creating content on the platform. This means that moderators will be looking at your posts to check for originality. They don\u2019t specifically say which types of content they\u2019re looking for, so if you post mixed media, you should be generally fine.<\/li><li>Additionally, you need to be of good standing on the platform. (That\u2019s why you should never be spammy.)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from these main rules, keep in mind that your profile also has to be publicly visible. Make sure you tweak your privacy settings before you make a request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-how-to-apply-to-be-a-linkedin-live-video-broadcaster-2-methods-\"><strong>How to Apply to Be a LinkedIn Live Video Broadcaster (2 Methods)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-method-1-manual-application-\"><strong>Method 1: Manual Application<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Log into your LinkedIn account and head over to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/help\/linkedin\/ask\/lv-app\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn Live Video Application Link<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bamf.lovelacecreative.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/LinkedIn-Live-Video-Broadcaster-1-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37362\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The email address associated with your LinkedIn should appear below, you have the option to enter an alternate email address as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bamf.lovelacecreative.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/LinkedIn-Live-Video-Broadcaster-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37359\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose if you want to access LinkedIn Live as a Member or LinkedIn Page.

For larger events, this is easy since you&#8217;ll probably allocate a set amount of time for each speaker, but with more intimate live videos you can easily get derailed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get a timer out and make sure you stick to a schedule, you don&#8217;t want to drag an event for too long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you need to plan out what topics you&#8217;re going to cover, this includes talking points, scripts, notes, and discussion material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, live videos have an element of audience participation so you need to factor this in your planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask yourself at which parts would you want to recognize the audience or have them engage with you directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, think about your transitions and how you&#8217;re going to end the broadcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now how about if it&#8217;s a spontaneous LinkedIn live video?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Glad you asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It still has to follow some sort of structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having some semblance of the structure shows your professionalism to the people watching your video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-teasers-\"><strong>Teasers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider having a teaser campaign before launching LinkedIn live video stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A teaser campaign will help you generate the buzz necessary to get a lot of people tuned in once you start streaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now there are a couple of ways to go about this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can set up a series of posts leading up to the video, like a countdown of sorts, or you can have a trailer video made beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-set-and-framing-\"><strong>Set and Framing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pick a venue that you can control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be either an indoor location or a quiet outdoorsy one without a lot of distractions from traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people can even opt to use a green screen and run the feed through some post-processing to control their backgrounds even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, what&#8217;s important is that it&#8217;s under your control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aesthetic choice is purely yours, but you can never go wrong with a clean, calm background that offers a little privacy and noise isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-lighting-\"><strong>Lighting<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lighting is critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Filming outside during the daytime shouldn&#8217;t be a problem, but doing a live video in a larger room with dim lights can be problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you have adequate light hitting the subject of your live video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you decide on doing a quick one-on-one with your followers, you can opt for a cheap ring light to do the trick. We&#8217;d advise against using the flash of your smartphone because it makes videos look a little overexposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a choice between better lighting or a better camera, always pick the former.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-camera-\"><strong>Camera<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your smartphone&#8217;s main shooter is better than your selfie cam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A DSLR is probably going to shoot circles around your smartphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With cameras, you should always choose the best one available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, this doesn&#8217;t mean you should get yourself an 8K monster to shoot a quick live selfie video, but getting a decent camera is always a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get a good input camera whenever you can, and make it a requirement if you&#8217;re shooting a large event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"11-audio-\"><strong>Audio<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t need to have an absolutely quiet room to work in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes a little white noise doesn&#8217;t hurt, think the soft chatter in a coffeehouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s important is that your viewers get to hear you clearly and that they can understand what you&#8217;re saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can get an external microphone to work, that will be best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you don&#8217;t necessarily need a fancy audio setup to do your thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"12-quick-test-run-\"><strong>Quick Test Run<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a quick video and play it back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does it look good?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are there things that you can change out to make it look better?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Testing is an integral part of video production, and it&#8217;s part of the growth hacking methodology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"13-title-\"><strong>Title<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you have a catchy title for your stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of crafting your title the same way that you would craft your LinkedIn headline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has to get someone to stop scrolling and entice people who&#8217;ve landed on your profile or page to spend a couple of minutes to join in on the live broadcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"14-description-\"><strong>Description<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The description matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s supposed to explain what your video is about to casual &#8220;scroller&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, here are a few things to keep in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you describe what you&#8217;re showing everyone in three lines or less.
