Download a LinkedIn video now

Paste the link to any public LinkedIn post that contains a video. You'll get a preview and the available qualities, highest first. Pick one and the MP4 downloads to your device.

Not sure where to find the link? The next section shows where it is on every device.

How to copy the link to a LinkedIn post

1. Find the post with the video in your feed or on the creator's profile.
2. Click or tap the three dots (...) in the top right corner of the post.
3. Choose Copy link to post.

On desktop, if the post is already open on its own page, you can also copy the URL from the address bar.

Check that the video plays inside LinkedIn itself. If the post shows a YouTube or Vimeo player, the video is hosted on that platform, not on LinkedIn, and you'll need to save it from there.

How to download a LinkedIn video on desktop

1. Copy the post link from the three dots menu or from the address bar.
2. Paste it into the downloader and click Get Video.

The file goes to your browser's download folder as a standard MP4, ready to play or to drop into a video editor.

Which LinkedIn videos can you download?

Public posts with a native video. Anything a logged-out visitor can watch on LinkedIn, from creators, companies or your own profile.

Your own videos. Paste the link to your post like any other. LinkedIn's data export (Me > Settings & Privacy > Data privacy > Download your data) only lists the media you shared as links in its Rich Media file, and it isn't available on mobile, so the downloader is the faster way to get the actual file back.

Posts with limited visibility. Videos shared with connections only, in a private group or in messages stay behind LinkedIn's login, so an online downloader can't access them. Ask the creator for the file instead.

LinkedIn Learning courses. These download inside the LinkedIn Learning mobile app for offline viewing, with an active subscription or a purchased course. Tap the download icon under the course title, then find it under My Courses > Downloaded.

What video quality do you get?

You get the versions LinkedIn itself streams for that post, usually a few qualities listed by bitrate, with the highest one first. The best one is the version LinkedIn kept after compressing the creator's upload, which is the same quality you see when you watch the post on LinkedIn.

For your own videos, keep the original file from your camera or editor too: it's always sharper than any copy saved from a social platform.

Is it legal to download LinkedIn videos?

Saving a video to watch it later is how most people use a downloader. What matters is what you do with the file next.

LinkedIn's User Agreement says members own the content they post, and it asks you not to copy or distribute other people's posts without their permission, outside LinkedIn's own sharing features. It also rules out copying or sharing LinkedIn Learning videos.

In practice:

• Personal use, like watching a talk offline or keeping a video as your own reference, is the common case.
• Reposting or reusing someone's video in your own content needs the creator's permission. Ask them, credit them, and link to the original post.
• Your own videos are yours to download and reuse however you like.

This isn't legal advice. If you plan a commercial use, check with the creator and your own legal counsel.

Why won't a LinkedIn video download?

Most failed downloads come from one of these:

1. The post isn't public. Connections-only, group and message videos need a logged-in account to view.
2. The video is a YouTube or Vimeo embed. Save it from that platform.
3. The link isn't the post link. Use Copy link to post from the three dots menu rather than a link to a profile, a comment or the feed.
4. The post was deleted. Once a post is removed, its video is gone from LinkedIn.

If the video plays for you on LinkedIn but still won't download, screen recording works on every device: Control Center on iPhone, Quick Settings on Android, Cmd+Shift+5 on Mac and the Xbox Game Bar (Win+G) on Windows. The quality matches your screen rather than the original file, so keep it as a backup option.

Keep the creators, not only their videos

Most people save LinkedIn videos as inspiration: a talk worth rewatching, a format worth copying, a creator worth learning from. A folder of downloads is easy to forget, though.

To keep up with those creators, add them to a custom feed in MyFeedIn and see every new post from the people you learn from in one place, newest first. Download the videos you want to keep, and follow the source for everything else.

Need other formats? The same approach works with our free LinkedIn image downloader and LinkedIn carousel downloader, and the video tool also has its own page.
