How to Transcribe a LinkedIn Video Post

Updated 24 Apr 2026 · TranscriptX editorial

Quick answer: Open the LinkedIn post with the video, click the timestamp ("2h ago", "1d ago") to open it as a standalone page, copy the URL, paste on TranscriptX. Works on public posts. Connection-only posts and private Company Page content won't open from our servers.

Step-by-step

1) Open the post as a standalone page

Click the timestamp under the post ("2h", "1d ago") to open it at its own URL. This is critical — the feed URL doesn't point at a specific post.

2) Copy the URL from the browser

Format is linkedin.com/posts/username_topic-activity-7123456789. The -activity- segment is the post ID.

3) Paste on TranscriptX

Drop the URL on transcriptx.xyz.

Common things that break

Connection-only or private post. LinkedIn lets users post to connections-only, which requires a connection relationship with the poster. We can't establish that.
Company Page restricted access. Some Company Pages require employee verification to view. We're not an employee.
Deleted post. Common on LinkedIn — posters edit or delete often. If the URL 404s now, the post is gone.
Article-embedded video vs post video. LinkedIn Articles (long-form) embed videos differently than feed posts. If an Article URL fails, grab the video's own URL from inside the Article instead.
