When you manually share a YouTube link on your LinkedIn feed, it will display the thumbnail correctly. However, when using the API reference, the feed does not show the thumbnail or preview.
 
So it will only take an image, not youtube link.
Alternatively,
Would it would take a .mp4 link? Subsequently, based on your experience, would you be able to recommend how to bulk copy the links from Drop box, and would Gdrive work?
would it take gif format instead?
 
Hi @Supreme could you kindly answer? I need alternative solutions based on experience goal is to automate the video so that it shows on LinkedIn.

1.file depository ex: dropbox/Gdrive
2.The format example: Url with Mp4/.GIF
3. Push process: Dropbox>excel>Linkedin

While you can include the YouTube URL, it's important to note that LinkedIn won't display the video thumbnail in its feed. However, it will direct you to the original YouTube link when clicked.

It's essential to understand that there are no alternative methods to display the thumbnail. Additionally, please provide further clarification on the last portion of this section.
 
I MEAN lets forget showing thumbnail. I just want to show video in any format GIF or Mp4 link from drop box or excel sheet. would it then display the content now there is no youtube link but a drop boxlink ending in either ,mp4 or .gif?

I tried all combinations. At present, you cant with send vids w/ previews via pabbly to linkedin regardless of format (mp4 links or GIfs) or platform to push it from i.e youtube, dropbox or excel. i have gone for for another platform radaar.io which will post it but only in MP4 format.

I acknowledge your concern, but it's important to note that LinkedIn itself doesn't provide any preview for video content in the feed.
