Sharing SalesMail videos on LinkedIn

There are three ways to share SalesMail videos on LinkedIn posts, with different advantages for each.  No matter which of these methods you use, you will always be able to take advantage of the SalesMail Lenses to add a beautify, holiday, message, and/or sentiment effects to your videos.

Download and share the animated GIF - Sharing the animated gif from your SalesMail video (especially if you use an eye-catching Lens like the custom whiteboard), will capture attention and you can drive people to your video within your post content.  Learn how by following this quick guide: How to Post Your SalesMail Animated GIF on LinkedIn.

Copy & paste - If you copy your SalesMail video link and paste it into a LinkedIn post, LinkedIn will automatically pull in a video preview thumbnail that people can click on to launch the SalesMail viewer site and watch your video with your branding, custom Call To Action buttons, and other SalesMail features such as download contact card, click to call, etc. 

Upload a .mp4 video file - Alternatively, you can download a copy of the .mp4 video you recorded in SalesMail, and then upload that video file into a post.  When you do it that way, you lose your branding and SalesMail features, but the video plays directly in the post as people scroll their feed and takes up a bit more real estate in their feed as well.
