From the previous forum topic on Instagram, we're searching for a way to embed our company's LinkedIn feed to our DW home page and haven't found a viable solution. Unfortunately, LinkedIn is one of the few social media networks that doesn't open their APIs to allow for embedding on other sites.

Has anyone else have a solution for embedding their corporate LI feeds?

Unfortunately Linkedin no longer make the feed available to embed like the other social media apps. The options for embedding are limited and listed on their public site here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/consumer/integrations/self-serve/plugins?context=linkedin/consumer/context

  1. Share - allows to share content with LinkedIn network (doesn't apply to you since your pages are not public)
  2. Follow- allows a user to follow a particular company (i.e. you could make it easier to your employees to follow 3 Day Blinds Corp profile on LinkedIn)
  3. Autofill - allows to leverage LinkedIn profile info to fill profile fields on a form

There is an option for you to use a 3rd party vendor for a Linkedin feed.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Hello Chris Ashworth,

During my research into this I could never find a way to embed a whole LinkedIn feed only a single post at a time which had to be updated manually.

https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/86529/embed-content-from-the-linkedin-feed?lang=en 

There caveats being - 

  • We don’t offer the option to embed multi-photo, storyline or re-shared posts.
  • Notifications won’t be sent to the author of the post when you embed their content.
  • Only posts that an author has shared as Public can be embedded.
  • If an author deletes the content you’ve embedded, the embeds get deleted as well.

Will Hartland thanks, I've never found it either. LinkedIn notoriously keeps things closed off. 

To get around it, and if anyone else is interested, we've been posting an "In Case You Missed it on Social Media" blog post every week with posts manually linked/ambedded so our employees could engage with our content on LinkedIn

Edita Svoboda it seems from this post that there is an issue with including our company LinkedIn feed in the social feeds area you guys presented for the DWP plan? Does that not actually exist?
