The VidMate LinkedIn downloader saves videos from public LinkedIn posts as MP4, or the audio as MP3. Paste a post link from your feed, a company page or a creator profile, and download LinkedIn videos such as product demos, conference talks, webinar recordings and hiring announcements. No LinkedIn login required.
Quick answer: on the post tap ⋯ › Copy link to post → paste above → Download → Download HD.
Why people save LinkedIn videos
LinkedIn is where companies post their best product demos and where speakers share conference talks. But LinkedIn has no download button, and a video buried in a feed is hard to find again. Typical reasons to keep a copy:
- Adding a short clip to slides for a team meeting or class.
- Saving a webinar recording to watch on a flight.
- Keeping your own posts as an archive or to reuse on other channels.
- Sharing a demo with a colleague who doesn’t use LinkedIn.
LinkedIn links that work
LinkedIn identifies posts by an activity or ugcPost number. VidMate accepts any link that contains one:
| Link | Example |
|---|---|
| Post share link | linkedin.com/posts/name_topic-activity-7212345678901234567-AbCd |
| Feed update | linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7212345678901234567 |
| UGC post | linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:ugcPost:7212345678901234567 |
| Shortened link | lnkd.in/AbCdEf (when it points to a post) |
Profile, company page and job links without a post number don’t work, because they don’t point to a single video. Non-LinkedIn links are redirected to the right VidMate page.
Download a LinkedIn video step by step
On a phone
- In the LinkedIn app, tap ⋯ (three dots) on the post or the Share arrow.
- Choose Copy link to post (or Copy link).
- Open VidMate in your browser and paste it above.
- Tap Download, then Download HD.
- Android saves to Files › Downloads; iPhone users open Files › Downloads and use Share › Save Video.
On a computer
Click the ⋯ menu on the post › Copy link to post, or click the post’s timestamp to open it alone and copy the address bar. Then paste here.
What you get
| Button | Usually | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Download HD | 720p, sometimes 1080p MP4 | Best for slides and big screens |
| Download | 360p–540p MP4 | Quick to share by email or chat |
| Download MP3 | 192 kbps audio | Talks and panels you’ll only listen to |
A 10-minute 720p webinar clip is roughly 60–120 MB in HD and about 14 MB as MP3. For hour-long talks, the MP3 is often the most practical way to “watch” on a commute.
Using a LinkedIn video in PowerPoint or Google Slides
- Download the HD MP4.
- In PowerPoint: Insert › Video › This Device and choose the file. In Google Slides, upload the MP4 to Drive first, then Insert › Video › Google Drive.
- Trim the video inside the slide app if you only need part of it.
- Credit the original author on the slide, e.g. “Video: Company name on LinkedIn”.
When a LinkedIn link fails
| Message | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| “Private or unavailable” | Post is Connections-only or deleted | Ask the author for the file |
| “No video found” | Post has images or a document, not a video | Choose a post with a video |
| Link without an activity number | Profile or company link | Open the post itself and copy its link |
| Expired buttons | 10-minute limit | Paste the post link again |
Professional courtesy
Company videos and talks belong to the people and businesses that made them. Use downloads for internal presentations, study and archive, and credit the source. Don’t re-publish someone’s video as your company’s content.
Also useful for professional content: the X (Twitter) downloader.
Why professionals use a LinkedIn downloader
LinkedIn has no download button, and a demo or talk you saw in the feed is hard to find again. This LinkedIn downloader lets you save LinkedIn video posts as a LinkedIn MP4 for slides, training and offline viewing.
A LinkedIn video downloader for public posts
Any public LinkedIn post video with an activity or ugcPost number works. Paste it into the LinkedIn video downloader, choose HD, a smaller file or MP3, and you’re done. Company pages and public creators are supported; Connections-only posts are not.
Checklist
- Copy the post link from the ⋯ menu.
- Check the post is visible to everyone.
- Credit the author when you reuse the video.
With these, you can download LinkedIn videos with the LinkedIn downloader in seconds.
