How do LinkedIn Stories work?

LinkedIn Stories

LinkedIn is one of the most popular social media platforms for professionals. With LinkedIn Stories, you can now share content with your followers that they will only be able to access for 24 hours before it disappears.

How do LinkedIn Stories work?

The maximum length of time for a LinkedIn Story is 20 seconds. You can upload a photo from your library or snap a picture or video in real-time. And you can add multiple photos or videos to your Story at a time for users to tap through.

To view your story, or others’, just tap on the circular profile photos that appear in the top of the LinkedIn mobile app.

What are the LinkedIn Story specs?

According to LinkedIn, below are the recommended sizes for adding photos from your camera roll:

Videos

Resolution: 1080 (w) x 1920 (h) px

Frame: 30 FPS, square pixels

Supported file types: H264, MP4

Aspect Ratio: 9:16

Images

Resolution: 1080 (w) x 1920 (h) px,

Supported file type: PNG, JPG

Aspect Ratio: 9:16

How do I create a LinkedIn Story?

You can only add to your (or your organization’s) LinkedIn story from the mobile app. Just open the app, select your profile photo or your organization’s, and allow LinkedIn to access your camera and photos.

You can upload a photo from your library or snap a picture or video in real-time. And you can add multiple photos or videos to your Story at a time for users to tap through.

When can I post a LinkedIn Story?

You can only post stories when you’re using the mobile app, and they will set off an automatic update on your profile that shows what you were up to during that time period (similarly like Facebook Status Stories).
