Does anyone know a good workaround to share a YouTube video on LinkedIn so it plays nicely? Thanks in advance!
You may have to investigate further with API, but apparently how LinkedIn handles video embedded shares is like so:
https://www.linkedin.com/feed/?linkOrigin=LI_BADGE&shareActive=true&shareUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DRvHl9BNzQRI%26si%3DZXHXDFOk_tHY0iqA
Going to that URL will auto-populate / indicate to LinkedIn that the video is to be embedded and not just pasted as a link. I believe you need the shareActive and shareUrl attributes/params for it to work.
@ThinkBot Good idea – unfortunately, it didn’t work.
Did I do something wrong, or do you have another suggestion?
No,
shareActive and shareUrl are the 2 additional params to populate.
