Awesome Video Metrics

This feature has only launched to 500 users as a small test, so there’s not much information on metrics yet. But of course one of the best features is metrics.

 

Besides basic metrics – such as views, likes and shares – you’ll also have access to viewers’ valuable, LinkedIn-exclusive (job titles, work places, geolocation, etc.)

 

Meanwhile, you can embed videos

If you don’t have the Video Camera icon on your LinkedIn app yet, you can still embed YouTube videos just like on Facebook or Twitter.

 

Follow these easy steps to embed a YouTube video on LinkedIn:

1. Go to your YouTube channel and find the video you want to share
2. Click the share button.
3. Click the LinkedIn icon. A new pop-up window will appear.
4. Create your update in the new window.
5. Click whatever options you want.
6. Click Share.

 

And that’s it! The video will be embedded in your timeline.
