LinkedIn video and YouTube: the native upload conflict

! LinkedIn suppresses external YouTube links in the feed — native video uploads get more reach

+ ! YouTube requires video content; LinkedIn text posts and carousels don't translate directly

+ ! YouTube Shorts (60 seconds vertical) vs. long-form YouTube require completely different approaches

+ ! Building a YouTube audience from LinkedIn requires consistent traffic-driving, not one-time posts

= too much manual work

What You Need to Know

01

How creators use LinkedIn to grow their YouTube channels

The effective workflow isn't just dropping a YouTube link in a LinkedIn post.

It's: uploading a 60-90 second clip of the YouTube video natively to LinkedIn, mentioning the full video in the caption, and putting the link in the first comment (where LinkedIn penalizes it less).

Creators also turn LinkedIn articles into YouTube scripts, and repurpose long LinkedIn posts into YouTube Shorts scripts.

One creator documented doubling his YouTube channel in 6 weeks using LinkedIn as the primary promotional channel — the key was native video uploads paired with consistent posting rather than link-sharing.

02

Make your YouTube content perform on LinkedIn too

YouTube Shorts uploaded to LinkedIn perform well when cropped to a vertical format and trimmed to under 90 seconds.

For long-form YouTube content, create a teaser clip that stands alone — don't just cut the intro.

LinkedIn's algorithm favors videos that get watched past the 30-second mark, so front-load your value.

Captions are watched on mute more than 50% of the time on LinkedIn, so auto-captions or burned-in text matter.

YouTube thumbnails don't translate — LinkedIn generates its own preview, so your video's first frame needs to be compelling on its own.

03
