LinkedIn Audio Events - Overview

Last updated: 11 months ago

LinkedIn Audio Events are a new way to connect with your professional community and unlock opportunities. These real-time, audio-only conversations are one of many tools LinkedIn offers to help you build relationships, foster connections, and learn new things. With no video, screen sharing, or text chat, Audio Events are a flexible and informal way to participate in virtual events while allowing you to multitask. For many listeners, this is like listening to a podcast, but one that they can participate in.

All Audio Events are public, so anyone can join and participate in the conversations. You do not need an invitation to join an Audio Event. Any member who has logged into their LinkedIn account can join and use the Raise your hand option to participate in an Audio Event. Learn more about how to set up and host an Audio Event.

Ensuring Trust

At the moment, LinkedIn only records Audio Events for trust purposes, and these recordings cannot be shared or replayed after the event has ended. Learn more about it here.

People join Audio Events from their LinkedIn profile, so you can trust who you are talking to and their area of expertise. You can report an individual by clicking on their profile picture or report an event by clicking on the More icon on the upper-left corner of the window.

Audio Events for Pages

You can choose to host an Audio Event from your individual profile or from your organizations’ Page. Only eligible Pages can create an Audio Event. Please note the following when hosting an Audio Event from a Page:

  1. Roles: Any super and content admins can create and host Audio Events on behalf of the Page, and view event analytics.

  2. Notifications: As the Page is considered the organizer of the event, notifications are sent to a subset of followers of the Page, not to the Page admin's connections. 

  3. Hosts: The first 10 super or content admins to join the Audio Event are designated as Host and appear on stage for the duration of the event, while other admins will be attendees.

  4. Registration forms: Registration forms are not available for Audio Events.
