Restream Events allow you to schedule events on LinkedIn at a specific time in the future. This is an amazing feature for businesses and individuals who would like to go live at a certain time and share a link with their audience before the stream.
In order to enable this feature, please make sure that you have a verified LinkedIn account for streaming. You can easily do this by following LinkedIn's instructions here.
Benefits of using LinkedIn Scheduled Live
The event can be scheduled in advance.
The link to the event can be shared with your audience in advance.
You can manually invite your LinkedIn audience through the event on LinkedIn.
Your audience would be able to add the event to their calendar from the LinkedIn page or select the option that they will be attending.
Technical details of the LinkedIn Scheduled Live:
The Scheduled Live time is displayed in your local timezone.
The date, time, thumbnail, title and descriptions cannot be updated or changed after you create the event.
You can start the event 15 minutes before or 2 hours after its scheduled time.
If you “miss” your window (15 min before, 2 hr after) to go live, the post will update to say “event cancelled” and no notifications will be sent out.
LinkedIn has a limit of 10 Events per day.
If you want to delete an event you created, please read more from LinkedIn here.
