# Connect LinkedIn

Hook up LinkedIn once and BitterClip can post your clips to your own feed for you. You
do the connecting here; from then on, publishing happens right inside BitterClip.

## Before you start

## What connecting LinkedIn lets BitterClip do

When you connect, LinkedIn asks you to allow a few things. Here's what each one means in
plain words:

::connector-scopes{connector="linkedin"}
::

## Connect LinkedIn

1. Open **Settings** in the BitterClip app and find LinkedIn under **Publishing accounts**.
2. Choose **Connect**. BitterClip sends you over to LinkedIn to sign in.
3. Sign in as yourself and approve the permissions above. LinkedIn brings you back to
   BitterClip, and the channel shows as **Connected**.

Once connected, publishing a clip to LinkedIn works the same as any other channel. See
[Publish a clip](/docs/publishing/publish-a-clip).

## Posts go to your own feed

BitterClip posts your clips to your personal LinkedIn feed, as you. It can't post to a
company page or to someone else's account. Want a clip on a company page? Publish it to
your own feed first, then share it across to the page yourself.

## If you connected LinkedIn a while ago

::reconnect-note{connector="linkedin"}
::

If a LinkedIn post fails, your connection probably predates a permission LinkedIn now
requires. Reconnect to grant it, then try the post again. The same fix covers a post that
goes up but is missing its YouTube link in the comments.

## What gets posted, and when

::approval-promise
::

::callout{type="tip"}
Want the same opening copy on every post draft? You can set a shared post-body template
under **Settings → Publishing**, and it'll start your LinkedIn and X drafts for you. See
[Publish a clip](/docs/publishing/publish-a-clip) for the full list of publishing defaults.
