And now, it also gives you the chance to have spontaneous video calls and interviews with professionals on the platform. This is possible due to integration with video call platforms like Zoom, BlueJeans, and Microsoft Teams. Since Zoom is what people generally use out of the three, here’s how you can make Zoom video calls via LinkedIn.

Make Zoom Video Calls on LinkedIn
Introduced last year, LinkedIn allows users to make video calls with others using video calling platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and BlueJeans. One can directly hit the inbox of their connection, create an instant meeting link, and join it with the other party to have a one-on-one conversation.
Below, we’ve given a step-by-step guide on how you can create Zoom video call links with LinkedIn web or mobile application.
On LinkedIn Web
- Head to LinkedIn in your browser.
- Open the chat with the person you want to have a video call with.
- On the chat screen, click the Video icon with a ‘+’ in it.
- You’ll now see a pop-up with the option to select between the video calling platforms.
- Select Zoom, tap Continue and sign in to your Zoom account.
- On the pop-up window, click on Pre-approve and then tap Authorize to connect your Zoom account with LinkedIn.
- You’ll now get options to create an instant meeting or schedule a meeting for later.
- Assuming you’d want to make an immediate Zoom call on LinkedIn, click on Create Instant Meeting.
- Now, send the auto-generated meeting link to the other party.
You both can instantly join the Zoom video call by clicking the meeting link. As you click the link, you’ll be redirected to the Zoom client on your computer, where you can continue the meeting.
On LinkedIn App (Android, iOS)
- Open the LinkedIn app on your phone.
