Connect to an existing LinkedIn Event
Learn how to connect an existing LinkedIn Event to StreamWay, or create a new one with a StreamWay Event.
LinkedIn Events are a great way to stream live content to attendees – such as online workshops, seminars, company updates, product launches, and more. LinkedIn members can find and join your stream to network with others and learn new skills.
You can either create an Event on LinkedIn and connect it to StreamWay or you can schedule a LinkedIn Event via StreamWay Events.
Create an event on LinkedIn and connect it to StreamWay
- Create a scheduled event from your LinkedIn account. Make sure to set up the event as a “LinkedIn Live” for the API to recognize it.
- Head to your StreamWay Dashboard and click Edit Destinations.
​ - Click Edit next to your LinkedIn channel.
​ - In the Event menu, choose your LinkedIn event and click Save.
You are now ready to stream to your LinkedIn event! All you need to do is either enter StreamWay Studio and go live, or start the stream from your connected streaming software.
Create an event on LinkedIn via StreamWay Events
StreamWay Events allow you to schedule LinkedIn streams in advance and seamlessly connect to them.
This feature is an alternative to scheduling your events on LinkedIn directly. If you already have a LinkedIn event scheduled, you don’t need to create it via StreamWay Events; that would create a duplicate event. Simply follow the previously highlighted steps.
Helpful tips
- You can only start the event 15 minutes before or 2 hours after its scheduled time. Attempting to start your event any later than 2 hours will mark it on LinkedIn as cancelled.
