The feature will be launching in beta in the US via invite-only for now. Focusing on interactive and timely live video streams on the platform, LinkedIn Live is aimed to cover conferences, product announcements, Q&As and other events led by influencers and mentors, office hours from a big tech company, earnings calls, graduation and awards events, and other similar events.

Despite being late to join in the race, LinkedIn believes that it is serious about its efforts and has selected few third-party developers of other live broadcast streaming services to work with creatives to push ‘more polished live video’ on the platform. It says it has also planned to announce more partnerships for bringing a high level of production to the livestreaming service, reported Mashable.
