What if the way you’ve been going live on LinkedIn… is about to completely change?

Starting June 22, 2026, there’s a major update to LinkedIn Live that every creator, coach, and service professional needs to understand:

You will no longer be able to go live spontaneously.

Every live video must be scheduled in advance.

Now, before you think this is a limitation… It’s actually a massive opportunity if you use it the right way.

Here’s what this update unlocks:

• A dedicated event page to promote your live event in advance

• Multiple notifications sent to your audience before and during your event

• Visibility into exactly who attended your live

• The ability to follow up and start real conversations afterward

• Theatre mode so viewers can stay engaged while multitasking

In short, LinkedIn is turning live video into a lead generation and relationship-building tool… not just a broadcast feature.

And the best part?

You can still go live on short notice.

You just need to schedule it first, even if it’s only minutes before.

Here’s how we recommend doing it:

Use tools like StreamYard (my personal preference), Restream, or Riverside.

With StreamYard, you can click “create announcement,” which automatically sets up your LinkedIn event for you.

That means you can:

• Pre-record your content

• Schedule it strategically

• Build anticipation before you even go live

This isn’t a restriction.

It’s LinkedIn giving you more control, more visibility, and more opportunity to turn viewers into conversations.

The question is…Are you going to treat your live videos like random broadcasts…
