How to download a LinkedIn video in three steps
The process is identical on desktop and mobile, with one small difference in how you copy the URL from the LinkedIn interface.
STEP 01
Open the three-dot menu on the post
On desktop, hover the LinkedIn post and click the three-dot icon in the upper right corner, then select Copy link to post. On the mobile app, tap the same three-dot icon and choose Copy link. Either action places the canonical post URL on your clipboard.
STEP 02
Paste the URL into MediaFetcher
Paste the copied link into the input at the top of this page. The tool auto-detects that it is a LinkedIn URL, identifies the video content on the page, and unlocks the Download action. No login, no API key, no browser extension required.
STEP 03
Download the MP4 to your device
Choose the available quality and click Download. MediaFetcher streams the file directly from LinkedIn’s content delivery network and delivers it to your device without re-encoding. The result is a clean MP4 you can archive, share internally, or attach to a project brief.
Content types: where LinkedIn videos live
LinkedIn is not a single video format. It is five overlapping surfaces, each with its own way of presenting the underlying video. MediaFetcher handles all five.
01
Video posts in feed
The standard native video upload
The most common LinkedIn video format — a founder sharing an insight, a product team announcing a release, a marketer recording a thirty-second commentary. These are native uploads (not YouTube embeds) and they sit inside a regular post with a caption. Paste the post URL and MediaFetcher pulls the underlying MP4 at the creator’s original resolution.
02
LinkedIn Live replays
The broadcasts and their archived recordings
LinkedIn Live sessions — panels, fireside chats, quarterly town halls streamed publicly — are retained by LinkedIn as replays once the broadcast ends. The replay URL behaves like a standard video post. MediaFetcher supports the replay after LinkedIn finishes processing it, usually within an hour of the stream concluding.
03
LinkedIn Newsletter videos
The long-form newsletter format gaining traction
Newsletters are LinkedIn’s growing answer to Substack, and many creators embed native video inside them — weekly market commentary, founder updates, recruiter Q&A. If the video is hosted natively on LinkedIn (not a YouTube embed), the newsletter page works as an input URL.
04
LinkedIn Events video
Recorded webinars and event replays
Events on LinkedIn — webinars, product launches, conference sessions — often retain a recording accessible from the event page. These are useful to save as reference material or to share internally with colleagues who could not attend live.
05
Company page videos
Brand posts on Company or Showcase pages
Videos posted from a Company or Showcase page work identically to personal post videos. Useful when you want to archive your own company’s announcements before a reorganisation, rebrand, or page restructure accidentally removes them.
The B2B use case
Why corporate teams save LinkedIn videos
Unlike every other video platform in the MediaFetcher catalogue, LinkedIn is a professional network first and an entertainment platform almost never. The reasons corporate teams save LinkedIn content are almost always work-related, and the workflow tends to look quite different from a consumer downloading a music video. Here are the six patterns we see most often.
Thought leadership for async team sharing
A venture partner posts a six-minute breakdown of the Q3 SaaS earnings season. Your head of strategy wants the whole team to watch it before Thursday’s planning meeting. Rather than expecting nine people to open LinkedIn on their own schedule, you download the MP4 and drop it into a Slack channel with a timestamped summary. The asynchronous pattern — save, annotate, share — is faster than any live meeting.
Competitive intelligence and market signals
Competing CEOs often broadcast strategic direction through LinkedIn video posts long before it shows up in a press release. Saving those videos as they are posted gives your competitive intelligence team a timestamped archive that survives the original post being edited, taken down, or buried by the algorithm. This is private research, not public redistribution.
Recruitment signals from candidate videos
Open-to-Work posts, candidate self-introduction videos, and personal brand videos from passive candidates are all publicly posted. Recruiters and hiring managers save these for internal hiring panels and candidate shortlisting discussions — where a thirty-second video conveys more than a paragraph on a resume ever could.
Training, onboarding, and internal archives
A founder interview, a quarterly all-hands recording, a customer-panel highlight reel — all of these are useful onboarding assets. Saving the MP4 locally means new hires can watch without having to be connected to LinkedIn and without depending on a link that might disappear when someone’s account is deactivated.
Company announcement archival
Your own company’s launch videos, rebrand announcements, and product reveals should be archived in your own file storage rather than relying on LinkedIn to host them indefinitely. Teams that have experienced link rot on historical announcements tend to take this habit seriously. Save the video, store it alongside the press release, move on.
LinkedIn Learning preview retention
LinkedIn Learning offers free preview clips for many paid courses. If your team is evaluating courses for budget approval, saving those previews into a shared vendor-evaluation folder is more efficient than sending colleagues back to LinkedIn one link at a time — especially when the purchase decision happens weeks later.
Why MediaFetcher
Built for marketing teams, not LinkedIn creators
Taplio, Publer and Reepl are creator suites — scheduling, AI, analytics, and video-download as a side feature behind a paywall. MediaFetcher is the opposite: for people who need to save content someone else posted.

For a ten-person marketing team that needs to share a competitor's video in the next Slack thread, skipping procurement matters. MediaFetcher is a static page — nothing to install.
Who actually uses a LinkedIn downloader
Four roles in most B2B organisations rely on LinkedIn video as part of their weekly workflow. Here is how MediaFetcher fits into each.
B2B marketing teams
Marketing managers save competitor launch videos, category thought-leadership posts, and analyst commentary for inclusion in weekly market-recap decks. The archive becomes the raw material for positioning exercises, quarterly planning, and sales enablement content. Pair with our Vimeo downloader for conference keynotes hosted outside LinkedIn.
Sales enablement teams curate libraries of founder interviews, customer testimonial videos, and domain-expert explainers to share with account executives ahead of discovery calls. MediaFetcher removes the friction of "open LinkedIn, find the post, hope it still exists" — the video sits in a shared drive, tagged by industry and use case, and ready to send.
HR and recruitment
Recruiters save publicly posted candidate videos, Open-to-Work announcements, and employer-branding material from competitor career pages. The saved clips feed into hiring panels, candidate evaluation discussions, and internal competitive benchmarks. No candidate data is ever collected — only the publicly posted video content the candidate chose to broadcast.
Product marketing and competitive intelligence
PMMs and competitive intelligence analysts watch LinkedIn daily for competitor product reveals, pricing announcements, and strategic pivots disclosed by founders in short video posts. Archiving these as they appear creates a timestamped record that is far more reliable than taking notes. For broader social monitoring beyond LinkedIn, pair this with our Twitter / X downloader.
An honest comparison against the three LinkedIn creator suites that dominate the first page of search results. Each of them is a legitimate product in its own category. Each serves a different audience than this one does.

Comparison reflects the free tiers observed in early 2026. Taplio, Publer, and Reepl are genuine creator suites — they win decisively on scheduling, analytics, and AI-assisted post generation. MediaFetcher does not attempt to compete there. This page compares the single feature both categories share: downloading LinkedIn videos.
Legal
The legality of downloading LinkedIn videos
Short answer: yes for personal use. The long answer involves a landmark Ninth Circuit ruling.
1
Personal use of public posts is fair use
Downloading a publicly posted LinkedIn video for research, archival, offline viewing or sharing a clip with a colleague is broadly lawful. Same fair-use doctrine that permits a marketing analyst to save a competitor's public press release, or a journalist to archive a public tweet.
2
Public content is not "without authorisation" under the CFAA
In hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn, the Ninth Circuit ruled in 2019 (and reaffirmed in 2022) that accessing publicly available LinkedIn profile data does notviolate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act — you cannot be "without authorisation" to access data published on the open web. The Supreme Court denied certiorari.
3
Private content and mass-scraping are different animals
Connection-gated posts, members-only groups and private inbox content require authentication — MediaFetcher does not support them. hiQ Labs itself lost on the contract claims even while winning on the CFAA question because it operated at mass-scraping scale. MediaFetcher is a single-post tool, one URL at a time, by design.
§
Commercial redistribution needs permission
LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft and its Professional Community Policies cover content usage. Republishing someone else's video in a paid product is a copyright question, not a CFAA one — and almost certainly not permitted.
None of this is legal advice. If your use case is more ambitious than personal research or internal team sharing, talk to a lawyer in your jurisdiction.
LinkedIn video downloader FAQ
Fourteen answers to the questions professionals ask before they paste their first LinkedIn URL.
How do I download a LinkedIn video without subscribing to anything?
Paste the URL of the LinkedIn post, Live replay, or Newsletter that contains the video into the input at the top of this page. MediaFetcher detects the LinkedIn URL, fetches the underlying MP4 from LinkedIn’s own CDN, and delivers the file to your device. There is no signup, no paid tier, no email gate, and no LinkedIn Premium requirement. The entire transaction takes fifteen to thirty seconds.
Is the MediaFetcher LinkedIn video downloader really free?
Yes. MediaFetcher is fully free with no paid tier, no daily limit, and no usage cooldown. The project is committed to an ad-free, tracker-free experience in its current phase. If the project ever needs to offset infrastructure costs, any monetisation will be non-invasive — no popups, no interstitials, no subscription walls for HD.
Can I download LinkedIn videos on mobile?
Yes. The tool runs in any modern browser on iOS Safari, Android Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or a desktop browser. On mobile, the challenge is getting the LinkedIn post URL in the first place: in the LinkedIn mobile app, tap the three-dot menu in the top right of the post and choose "Copy link to post". That copied URL is what you paste here. On iOS the downloaded MP4 lands in your Files app; on Android it lands in the Downloads folder.
How do I save a LinkedIn post for offline viewing?
LinkedIn’s own "Save" feature bookmarks a post for later but requires you to be online and logged in to access it. MediaFetcher takes a different approach: it extracts the actual video file and saves it locally as an MP4. Once saved, the video is viewable in any video player with no internet connection, no LinkedIn account, and no risk of the post being deleted later.
How do I download LinkedIn Live videos?
Live broadcasts in progress cannot be downloaded in real time — neither LinkedIn nor any third-party tool supports that. What you can download is the replay that LinkedIn produces after the broadcast ends. Once the replay appears on the original Live post page (usually within an hour of the stream ending), copy that URL and paste it here. The replay downloads as a standard MP4.
Does MediaFetcher work for LinkedIn Newsletter videos?
Yes, when the video is hosted natively on LinkedIn and not embedded from YouTube or Vimeo. LinkedIn Newsletters are increasingly used for long-form B2B content, and many creators embed native video clips alongside the written article. Paste the newsletter article URL and MediaFetcher will extract any native LinkedIn video found on that page.
Do I need LinkedIn Premium to use this?
No. LinkedIn Premium offers a limited video saving feature as part of its subscription bundle, but it is gated behind a paid account and restricted to certain content types. MediaFetcher requires no LinkedIn account at all — Premium, Sales Navigator, Recruiter, or free — and works on video types Premium does not cover.
Can I download videos from private LinkedIn accounts or closed groups?
No. MediaFetcher only processes content that is publicly visible to a logged-out visitor. Posts from private accounts, members-only groups, or posts restricted to first-degree connections require a logged-in LinkedIn session to access and are not supported. This limitation exists by design: a tool that bypassed authentication would be in direct conflict with LinkedIn’s terms and with the hiQ Labs ruling described below.
Will the downloaded file have a watermark or LinkedIn branding?
No. MediaFetcher does not overlay text, inject a logo, re-encode the video, or add any metadata. The file you receive is the same MP4 LinkedIn serves to the in-app video player — bit-for-bit original quality.
Is it legal to download videos from LinkedIn?
For personal, non-commercial purposes such as research, archival, offline viewing, or sharing with a colleague via Slack or email, downloading publicly posted LinkedIn videos is widely considered lawful in the United States and most Western jurisdictions. Commercial redistribution, building a competitive dataset, or bulk harvesting for training models is a different matter and is governed by copyright law, LinkedIn’s terms, and the hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn precedent. See the legality section further down this page for the details.
How is this different from Taplio or Publer?
Taplio, Publer, and Reepl are LinkedIn creator suites — they offer scheduling, analytics, AI post generation, and growth features for people building a LinkedIn audience. Video downloading is a small side feature in each of them, usually gated behind a paid tier. MediaFetcher is the opposite: a focused, free downloader that does one thing well and covers more LinkedIn media types (including Newsletters and Live replays) without requiring a subscription. If you need scheduling and analytics, use Taplio or Publer. If you just need the video, use this.
Can I download LinkedIn Learning course videos?
Paid LinkedIn Learning courses are only available to logged-in subscribers and are not supported. However, LinkedIn often publishes free course previews — trailers and first-lesson snippets — on public LinkedIn pages and posts. Those public previews work with MediaFetcher like any other native LinkedIn video.
Does MediaFetcher log the URLs I download or the content I save?
No. MediaFetcher runs as a static web page with no analytics scripts, no cookies, no server-side logging of URLs, and no account system. There is no dashboard where your activity is stored because there is no account. For sensitive competitive research or recruitment work where confidentiality matters, this is a deliberate design choice.
Are there usage limits or a cooldown between downloads?
No. There is no daily quota, no rate limiter, and no cooldown. Download as many individual LinkedIn videos as you need. Note that MediaFetcher is a single-post downloader, not a bulk scraper — you paste one URL at a time. This is intentional and is explained in the legality section.
