LinkedIn Live streaming software for professional events
Create LinkedIn Live broadcasts in your browser with Restream. Bring guests on screen, share presentations, add your branding, and reach your professional audience from one production workspace. You can also connect an encoder when you want to keep your existing setup.
Check your LinkedIn Live eligibility
Your LinkedIn profile or Page must be approved for live broadcasting. LinkedIn considers audience size, account history, and good standing; connecting Restream does not bypass those requirements. Review the LinkedIn live broadcasting criteria before preparing your event, or use the LinkedIn Live guide for broader platform guidance.
LinkedIn Live broadcasts now require an event. Schedule one in advance to promote it, or let Restream create the required LinkedIn event when you start an unscheduled broadcast. You can stream to one LinkedIn profile or Page at a time alongside supported destinations on other platforms.
Produce your LinkedIn Live with Restream
- Prepare and promote events: use LinkedIn Live event scheduling to share an event page with your audience before you go live.
- Host interviews and panels: invite guests into Restream Studio and combine speakers with presentations or other media. Guest limits depend on your plan.
- Keep your brand visible: add graphics and logos and arrange speakers or media with custom layouts. Available branding features depend on your subscription.
- Bring comments into the broadcast: display supported LinkedIn audience comments on screen in Studio. Chat support and available analytics differ by destination; do not assume every platform supplies the same viewer metrics.
- Reach more than one audience: broadcast the same production to LinkedIn and other connected destinations. Your plan determines how many channels you can use at once.
How to connect LinkedIn to Restream
- Create your account: sign up for Restream and confirm that the LinkedIn profile or Page you want to use is eligible for live video.
- Connect the destination: open Channels, choose Add New, select LinkedIn, and authorize access. Choose your profile or the Page you manage.
- Prepare the broadcast: choose New Stream and your production method. Restream Studio works in your browser; an Encoder | RTMP stream lets you use external streaming software. For promotion, schedule your LinkedIn Live event in advance.
- Check and go live: confirm the correct LinkedIn destination or scheduled event, test your microphone, camera, and presentation, then start the stream. Open the LinkedIn event page to verify the audience view.
Choose the workflow for your event
Use browser-based Studio for interviews, product demos, webinars, and panels. If your presenters already meet in Zoom, you can send that broadcast through Restream instead. Guest channels can extend distribution where platform rules allow, but they do not remove LinkedIn’s one-destination restriction.
Start with Restream’s free plan for two eligible channels with Restream branding. More channels, advanced production features, and cloud recordings depend on your plan. LinkedIn approval remains a separate requirement.

Can I use Restream with a LinkedIn company Page?
Yes, if the Page is eligible for LinkedIn Live and your account has the required Page permissions. Select that Page when connecting LinkedIn and verify it again before starting the event.
Can I stream to multiple LinkedIn Pages at once?
No. LinkedIn allows one LinkedIn destination at a time through this workflow. You can stream to that destination alongside supported channels on other platforms, within your Restream plan limits.
Can I stream to an existing LinkedIn event?
Yes, if it was created with the LinkedIn Live format. Connect the correct LinkedIn destination and select the existing event in Restream. A regular online event or an event for an external link is not the same as a LinkedIn Live event.
