Note About Sending Videos on LinkedIn
In order for your recipient to see the preview of your video, and not just a link, they must have either (A) accepted your LinkedIn request, or (B) accepted your InMail request. For this reason, we do NOT recommend sending videos in connection requests. Videos are better used as a follow up message, after you are already connected.Frequently asked questions
