What are the supported formats for your LinkedIn media?

[Joyzfsddt66]

Where do you upload your media in LinkedIn?

In your taskbar at the top of the page, go to ‘Me – View Profile’, then scroll down to ‘Experience’, click the blue pen icon in the upper right corner, then scroll past your job description and you’ll come to the ‘Media’ section where you’ll see an Upload and a Link button, which provides you two options to add your media (“add or link to external documents, photos, sites, videos, and presentations”).

You can either upload your own files to the LinkedIn server, or you can direct visitors to go to a video, presentation, website, PDF etc. that already exists publicly online. The LinkedIn Help page explains how to add, edit or greece whatsapp phone number remove media work samples from your profile, with instructions on how to do it from your desktop, Android or iOS. It’s important to add a title and description to whatever item you upload or link to. Add keywords and popular phrases from your industry into your description. For your title, give it a 'headline‘ feel – don’t just describe it as ‘My Slideshow’, or ‘My Marketing document’, but use a compelling word combination that makes the readers curious to click: ‘Breakthough Design Created 2017’, or ‘Shortlisted for the ABC Award 2017’.


Just below the Upload and Link buttons is a link to ‘Supported Formats’. Click it and you’ll be taken to the LinkedIn Help Page for ‘Supported Providers and Content Types for Work Samples on Your Profile’. Here, after you read that it’s recommended to ‘enhance your profile by displaying samples of your work’ (this you know now already!), you’ll see a link for a ‘full list of rich media content providers’ that can be supported from URLs included on your Linked profile. If you click this link you’ll be taken to a site called Embed.ly which supports more than 400 content providers, allowing you to seamlessly embed video, audio, photo content on your pages. LinkedIn writes “Please note that not all providers may work”, which means that when someone clicks the URL you’ve added to your LinkedIn profile, they may receive an error message or may not see the content you want them to see due to coding issues. At this point, however, don’t get too worried about this, or feel you must integrate Embed.ly. Just load the links and content you want to. But after you do, test to see how it looks by viewing your own LinkedIn profile from another account or directly from a search engine if your content is set to ‘public’ (e.g. it can be seen by people other than your LinkedIn contacts).
