LinkedIn has evolved from a text-based professional network into a video-first platform. From industry thought leadership and career advice to product demos and conference keynotes, LinkedIn is packed with valuable video content you might want to save for offline reference.
Unlike YouTube or TikTok, LinkedIn does not provide any built-in download button. This guide covers 3 reliable methods for downloading LinkedIn videos in 2026, on any device.
Why Download LinkedIn Videos?
LinkedIn videos are uniquely valuable because they contain professional insights you cannot find elsewhere:
- Conference keynotes — Save presentations from industry leaders for future reference
- Training content — Download tutorials, workshops, and skill-building videos for offline study
- Thought leadership — Archive insights from CEOs, founders, and industry experts
- Recruitment — Save company culture videos and job descriptions for later review
- Sales enablement — Download product demos and case study videos for offline presentations
- Inspiration — Keep motivational speeches and career advice accessible anytime
- Research — Archive market analysis and industry trend videos for academic or professional research
Method 1: Download LinkedIn Videos With GripVid
GripVid supports LinkedIn video downloads directly from the post URL. Here is how:
- Find the LinkedIn post containing the video you want to download
- Click the three dots (⋯) in the top-right corner of the post
- Select "Copy link to post" — this copies the post URL to your clipboard
- Open gripvid.proofmatcher.com in any browser
- Paste the LinkedIn post URL and click Download
- Click Download MP4 — the video saves to your device in the highest available quality
This method works for native LinkedIn videos (uploaded directly to LinkedIn). It may not work for LinkedIn Learning courses, which use DRM protection.
Method 2: Browser Developer Tools
For tech-savvy users, you can extract the video URL directly from LinkedIn's page source:
- Open the LinkedIn post containing the video in Chrome or Firefox
- Right-click on the page and select "Inspect" (or press F12)
- Go to the Network tab in Developer Tools
- Type "video" or "mp4" in the filter box
- Play the video on the page — you will see video file requests appear in the Network tab
- Right-click on the video URL and select "Open in new tab"
- Right-click on the video playing in the new tab and select "Save video as..."
This method requires some technical knowledge but works reliably when other tools are unavailable.
Method 3: Screen Recording
The simplest fallback method works on every device:
On Windows
- Press Win + G to open the Xbox Game Bar
- Click the Record button or press Win + Alt + R
- Play the LinkedIn video in full screen
- Stop recording when the video ends
- The recording saves to
Videos/Capturesfolder
On Mac
- Press Command + Shift + 5 to open the screenshot toolbar
- Select "Record Selected Portion" and draw a box around the video
- Play the LinkedIn video
- Click Stop in the menu bar when done
On iPhone
- Open Control Center and tap Screen Recording
- Play the LinkedIn video
- Stop recording — it saves to Photos
On Android
- Swipe down and tap Screen Recorder in Quick Settings
- Play the LinkedIn video
- Stop recording — it saves to your gallery
LinkedIn Video Quality
LinkedIn videos are typically available in the following qualities:
- Native uploads: Up to 1080p (Full HD), though LinkedIn may compress to 720p depending on network conditions
- Shared articles with video: Quality varies based on the original source
- LinkedIn Live recordings: Typically 720p
- LinkedIn Learning: Up to 1080p but DRM-protected (cannot be downloaded with standard tools)
When downloading with GripVid, you get the highest quality version that LinkedIn serves publicly.
Types of LinkedIn Video Content
LinkedIn hosts several types of video content, each with different download considerations:
- Native video posts — Uploaded directly by users. Fully downloadable via GripVid or developer tools
- LinkedIn Live replays — Recorded live streams. Usually downloadable after the stream ends
- Document posts with embedded video — Some carousel/document posts include video. Extract the video URL from page source
- Shared YouTube/Vimeo links — These play embedded on LinkedIn but are hosted externally. Download from the original platform using GripVid's YouTube or Vimeo downloader
- LinkedIn Learning courses — DRM-protected. Cannot be downloaded with third-party tools. Requires a LinkedIn Learning subscription for offline viewing within the LinkedIn app
- LinkedIn ads/sponsored content — Company promotional videos. Usually downloadable like regular native videos

Tips for LinkedIn Video Downloads
- Public posts only — You can only download videos from posts that are publicly visible or visible to your network. Private messages with video cannot be downloaded via URL

- Check permissions — For professional use, always ask the creator's permission before using their video in presentations or content
- LinkedIn Learning alternative — If you want offline access to LinkedIn Learning, use the official LinkedIn Learning mobile app which has a built-in download feature for subscribers
How to Download LinkedIn Videos on iPhone
iPhone users should use Safari for the most reliable download experience. Chrome on iOS has limited file download support, making Safari the better choice for saving video files.
- Open the LinkedIn app or website and find the video you want to save
- Tap the Share button or three-dot menu and select "Copy Link"
- Open Safari and navigate to gripvid.proofmatcher.com
- Long-press the input field and tap "Paste"
- Tap Download — the MP4 saves to your Files app under Downloads
To save to Camera Roll: Open the downloaded file in Files, tap the Share button, and select "Save Video." The video now appears in your Photos app and can be shared via AirDrop, iMessage, or social media.
How to Download LinkedIn Videos on Android
Android makes downloading videos straightforward with Chrome's native file download support:
- Copy the video link from the LinkedIn app or website
- Open Chrome and visit gripvid.proofmatcher.com
- Paste the URL and tap Download
- Select your preferred quality and tap Download MP4
- The file downloads to your Downloads folder and appears in your notification tray
The downloaded video is immediately playable in your gallery app, Google Photos, VLC, or any other video player.
Troubleshooting LinkedIn Downloads
Video URL not recognized
Make sure you copied the complete URL from the correct source. Some apps add extra tracking parameters — try removing everything after the main video identifier.
Download has no audio
This is extremely rare with GripVid because it automatically merges video and audio streams. If it happens, refresh the page and try downloading again.
Video quality is lower than expected
Download quality depends on the original upload quality. The platform may also apply compression to uploads, which reduces quality below the original source file.
Download is slow
Longer videos and higher quality selections take more time to process. Try downloading in 720p for faster results. Ensure your internet connection is stable.
