Just learned today that you can easily embed video into your LinkedIn Profile using Google docs and the Google Presentations app on LinkiedIn.

Just open a PPT presentation in Google Docs, insert a video, and load it up via the app.  

I’m not seeing it used much now – so its a great attention getter.

Here’s a link to my LinkedIn profile to give you a look.  Note:  The video is only visible on the full profile – scroll down if necessary to open it up.

I haven’t yet worked out how to move the video above my WP content.  

@jeff-korhan I love that trick. Stole it from Lewis Howes, myself.

I actually did it by embedding a video into a preso at Slideshare and then embedding that.

Mine appears just below the bio. Is that what you’re trying to do?

I did view Rich’s– does it also work with Vimeo? Now that they have a corporate membership, which is reasonably priced, I have some clients who want some videos only there because it eliminates ads.

I used Slideshare for mine, and for a client also. When you edit your profile, any of the apps with a blue bar at the top (like slideshare) can be moved higher in your profile. Just drag and drop them where you want them to appear .

I used Google Presentations to make a little porfolio of some white papers, and like that, too–didn’t know you could use it for video though!

Cool!

Something else here, you can paste in YouTube or Vimeo links (most) and they will render in the player mode when you hit reply.

Well I guess it is kinda buggy

@jeff-korhan, yes–I wish we could have more leeway on the LI profile as well. Good workaround on getting your video above WP. Yes, I think they have the new app thing backwards!
