Before going live on LinkedIn from a Zoom Meeting or Webinar, you need to enable custom live streaming in Zoom. This article outlines the step-by-step instructions to enable streaming in your Zoom account, to go live on LinkedIn using a custom stream (RTMP).
Zoom is a third party tool and may update the interface at any time. If this happens or for any other questions on Zoom, please visit the Zoom help center.
You must meet the following criteria to access the custom stream tool on LinkedIn:
-
Access criteria to create and host LinkedIn Lives. Tigger a review of the Page or Profile to check if you fulfill the criteria.
-
If streaming to a LinkedIn Page, the person facilitating the stream must be a super or content poster Page admin.
To enable custom live streaming in Zoom:
-
Sign in to your account on the Zoom website and click My Account.
-
From the main account screen, click Settings.
-
Click the Meeting tab, and then click the In Meeting (Advanced) settings.
-
Within this section, find Allow livestreaming of meetings, and turn the toggle on.
- If the toggle is grayed out, it has been locked at either the group or account level, and you'll need to contact your Zoom administrator to make changes.
- If the toggle is grayed out, it has been locked at either the group or account level, and you'll need to contact your Zoom administrator to make changes.
-
Select the Custom Live Streaming Service checkbox which will allow you to livestream your Zoom meeting using a custom RTMP stream to LinkedIn.
-
Click Save to save the changes.
-
(Optional) Provide instructions so that the meeting organizer can configure the required settings when they schedule the meeting.
Now you can decide whether to go live to your scheduled LinkedIn Live Event (recommended) or go live on LinkedIn instantly.
For Page admins, we recommend running a LinkedIn Live Test event first so you can familiarize yourself with the setup without broadcasting to your audience.
