# LinkedIn Sales Navigator - Scale Videos

> Learn how to send personalized videos at scale in LinkedIn Sales Navigator with Sendspark to boost engagement and build trust.

To send a video in LinkedIn Sales Navigator, create your video in Sendspark, click the LinkedIn icon next to it to copy the LinkedIn-optimized link, then paste that link into a Sales Navigator message. Once your prospect accepts your message or connection request, they see a clickable video preview with a moving thumbnail.

## Key takeaways

* Use the LinkedIn icon next to each video in Sendspark to copy a link built for LinkedIn messages: short, trackable, and fast to load.
* On your end the link looks plain, but accepted recipients see a clickable preview with a moving thumbnail.
* Previews only appear once your message or connection request is accepted.
* Sendspark emails you when someone watches, and the dashboard shows who watched, how long, and whether they clicked your CTA.
* For hands-off sending, the [Expandi integration](/expandi-integration-ai-personalized-videos) automates personalized videos at scale.

## Why Use Videos in LinkedIn Sales Navigator?

Sending a video in LinkedIn Sales Navigator helps you stand out and add a face to the name. Whether you're doing sales outreach or following up with a connection, a short video builds trust faster than text alone.

## 1. Create a Video in Sendspark

Start in Sendspark. You can:

* [Record yourself on camera](/record-yourself)
* [Record your screen](/record-your-screen)
* [Record both camera & screen together](/record-both-your-face-and-screen-together)
* [Create a Dynamic Video Campaign](/dynamic-videos-make-videos-with-ai-introductions) to create personalized videos in bulk with AI.

Once you've created videos, you'll be able to share videos easily in LinkedIn Sales Nav.

**Bonus:** if you have the [Sendspark Chrome Extension](/instant-integration-linkedin)installed, you'll see a Sendspark icon in LinkedIn that makes it easy to create and send videos from right LinkedIn!

## 2. Copy the LinkedIn Video Link

Next to each video, you’ll see a LinkedIn icon. Click it to copy the link.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/sendspark/zcDaIV9vseTER0JR/images/11420366/318cc277-image.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=zcDaIV9vseTER0JR&q=85&s=845d0ce42092a5332be328de9cace4c3" alt="LinkedIn icon button next to video in Sendspark dashboard to copy link" width="958" height="406" data-path="images/11420366/318cc277-image.png" />

This version of the link is designed to work well inside LinkedIn messages. It’s short, trackable, and fast to load.

***

## 3. Paste the Link into LinkedIn Sales Navigator

Open a conversation in LinkedIn Sales Navigator and paste the link directly into the message field.

On your end, it’ll just look like a plain link:

This is because Sales Navigator keeps a simple UI for you.

But if your prospect accepts your message or accepts your connection request, **they’ll see a clickable preview of the video with a moving thumbnail**.

## 4. Track Who’s Watching

When someone opens and watches your video, Sendspark sends you a quick email. You’ll also see more details in your dashboard, like:

* Who watched it
* How long they watched
* Whether they clicked your call to action

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/sendspark/zcDaIV9vseTER0JR/images/11420366/8a2f05d4-image.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=zcDaIV9vseTER0JR&q=85&s=2819aff9e6d4b5c8e9ac29efc0222270" alt="Sendspark dashboard analytics showing video views and engagement metrics" width="1164" height="178" data-path="images/11420366/8a2f05d4-image.png" />

This makes follow-ups easier. You know who’s interested and when to respond.
