Restream makes it easy to stream to a LinkedIn Live event that you've already scheduled.
Connect a LinkedIn Event to a new Restream Event
From your home screen, click New Stream.
Choose how you want to stream: via our Studio, RTMP, Video File, or Playlist.
For Studio, add your name and click Enter Studio, then click the Schedule button at the top of the screen.
For RTMP events, open the dropdown menu in the top left corner of your screen and click Schedule event.
For video files and playlists, follow the prompts to select the files for your event.
💡 If you already have a stream setup that you would like to re-use, click the three dots on the existing stream card and select Schedule.
Enter your event details.
The title, description, and thumbnail will apply to your stream on Restream and any other channels you stream to, but won’t override anything you’ve already set up on LinkedIn.
Make sure the date and time match what you've already scheduled on LinkedIn.
Only check the box next to “Create an event page on social platforms” if you want to create posts in advance on YouTube or Facebook. It won’t create a new post on LinkedIn.
Click Next.
Toggle on your LinkedIn channel, then click Edit.
From the Event dropdown menu, select the title of your scheduled LinkedIn event.
Click Save.
Toggle on any other channels you want to stream to, then click Schedule.
Connect a LinkedIn Event to an existing Restream Event
Go to the Restream home screen.
Click the three dots on your event and select Edit event.
Toggle on LinkedIn, then click Edit.
From the Event dropdown menu, select your scheduled LinkedIn event and click Save.
Requirements
You'll only see events listed in the Event menu if you've already created them on LinkedIn.
You can only connect your LinkedIn event to a Restream Event up to 15 minutes before its scheduled starting time. After that, it enters a "pre-live" state.
You can link your LinkedIn event to a new or an existing Restream Event.

Does Restream work with LinkedIn Audio Events?
Does Restream work with LinkedIn Audio Events?
Starting in December 2024, LinkedIn Audio Events are merging with LinkedIn Live, so you can absolutely use Restream's integration with LinkedIn to broadcast your live content in whatever format you prefer. Scheduling events and going live will continue working the same way on Restream, and LinkedIn users who previously did LinkedIn Audio Events can do audio-only streams with Restream Studio. You can learn more about doing LinkedIn Audio Events with Restream here.
