Add LinkedIn Multistream Target
In the StreamShark event details page, click the 'Multistreaming' tab in the top bar.
Click the 'Add' button to add a new multistream target, and select LinkedIn as the streaming platform.
In the newly opened window, log in your LinkedIn account and go through the authorization process.
Select the LinkedIn page you want to grant access. The page can be your personal profile page, or the company page that you are the content admin.
Setup LinkedIn Multistream Target
Once the LinkedIn page access is granted, click the 'Setup Multistream' button.
You can upload a cover image, set the LinkedIn live event name, comment, start time, visibility and region in the setup modal.
Go Live with LinkedIn Multistream target
Our LinkedIn multistream integration functions the same as other social platforms.

- You can use the 'Delete' button to delete the LinkedIn multistream target, and revoke the access you granted to StreamShark.
Notes on LinkedIn Multistream target
- LinkedIn live ingest resource will only be provisioned 2 hours prior to the planned start time. The status will be 'Awaiting Provision' before the provision is processed.
- LinkedIn multistream target can only go live 15 minutes prior and within 2 hours of the planned start time. The status will be 'LinkedIn Ingest Unready' outside the go-live time window.
- Deleting LinkedIn multistream target will not delete the actual LinkedIn live event. LinkedIn will record the live event and play back the video recording after the live event ends.
- You can only choose one destination for your stream. You can't simultaneously stream into an event and into your profile or Page.
