Go live on LinkedIn!

After launching stickers and frames for videos last March and testing its own variation of Stories recently, LinkedIn, the professional social network which has close to 600 million users all over the world, is now taking on another social innovation by adding its own live-streaming video service called LinkedIn Live!

As reported by TechCrunch, LinkedIn will use Azure Media Services for encoding, but not other related Microsoft technologies like the Microsoft Stream video service, Skype or Teams. Claiming to be the fastest-growing format on its platform alongside original written work, shared news and other content, LinkedIn Live is the next big technological leap the medium is taking.
