How To Create Compelling Audio Livestreams Using Linkedin Live

​Creating compelling audio livestreams on LinkedIn Live is a powerful way to engage your professional audience without the pressure of being on camera.

​Here's a step by step guide to help you craft immersive, interactive audio events:

​
1. Set Up Your LinkedIn Audio Event

• ​Go to your LinkedIn homepage and find the Events section.

• ​Click the + icon to create a new event.

• ​Choose Audio Event under the format options.

• ​Add a compelling title, description, date/time, and cover image.

• ​Invite co-hosts or speakers if needed.

​2. Choose a Broadcasting Tool

• ​LinkedIn Live requires a third-party tool to stream. For audio-only events, Restream is a top choice:
  

  • ​Easy browser-based setup

  • ​Audio optimization features (echo cancellation, auto-gain)

  • ​Ability to invite guests and display avatars or static images

​3. Optimize Your Audio Setup

• ​Use a good quality microphone (e.g., Samson Q2U, Shure SM58)

• ​Wear headphones to prevent echo.

• ​Stream from a quiet, acoustically treated space.

​Adjust audio settings in your broadcast tool for clarity and consistency.

4. Design a Branded Experience

• ​Add a static image, logo, or animated background to your stream.

• ​Use overlays or QR codes for interactivity.

• ​Customize participant avatars and display animated pulses when they speak.

​5. Promote Your Event

• ​Share the event link on LinkedIn and other social platforms.

• ​Use Event Ads or teaser posts to build anticipation.

• ​Encourage your network to share the event.
