You watch an insightful LinkedIn video — a market analysis presentation, a CEO sharing hard-won lessons, or a technical tutorial — and want to save it for later offline viewing. But LinkedIn has no download button for viewers. Here's how to save it anyway.
Why LinkedIn Doesn't Have a Download Button
LinkedIn deliberately withholds a viewer download option. The platform wants users to stay on LinkedIn to engage, see ads, and use its services. Downloading videos means users leave the platform — which LinkedIn's product design works against.
Here's how to work around that.
Downloading a LinkedIn Video with a Web Tool
- Open the LinkedIn post containing the video → click the three dots (...) in the top corner of the post → select Copy link to post
- Go to klypio.com/linkedin-video-downloader
- Paste the URL into the field → click Download
- The MP4 file downloads to your device
Important: Use the post link, not a profile URL or company page URL. Valid formats look like: linkedin.com/posts/username_XXXXXX or linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:XXXXXXXXXX.
Getting the Right LinkedIn URL
How to get the post link on LinkedIn:
- On web: Click the post's timestamp or headline → the URL in your address bar is the direct post link
- On mobile app: Tap the three dots (...) on the post → tap Copy link to post
On desktop, an alternative: right-click on the playing video → Copy video address — this may give you a direct CDN URL to the video file that you can paste directly.
Downloading LinkedIn Videos on Mobile
On mobile, @KlypioBot makes this much faster:
- Open the LinkedIn post → tap Share → Copy link
- Open Telegram → message
@KlypioBot→ paste the link → send - The bot downloads the video and delivers the MP4 file in chat
- Long-press the file → Save to device
No browser URL juggling required. See the full feature list at @KlypioBot guide.
Can You Download Private LinkedIn Videos?
LinkedIn posts have two main privacy levels:
- Public — visible to anyone, external tools work normally
- Connections only or Only you — private posts, external tools can't access without being logged in as you
If it's your own video (you posted it), log into LinkedIn, navigate to your post, and check if LinkedIn provides a download option in your post settings — some account types have this for your own content.
Video Quality When Downloading LinkedIn Videos
LinkedIn supports video uploads up to 1080p. Klypio downloads the highest quality available for that post. However, many LinkedIn videos are uploaded at 720p or lower by the poster — that's the source limit, not a tool limitation.
