LinkedIn Launches AI-Powered Highlights for Live Events

LinkedIn is giving marketers a new way to extend the life of their live event streams. The platform has introduced AI-powered recommended clips and chapters for event recordings, automatically surfacing the strongest moments so hosts can repurpose them as short-form content.

How the New Feature Works

The recommended clips tool appears within LinkedIn’s event management dashboard as a separate composer section. Hosts can browse AI-selected highlights in a mini window on the right side of the screen, then trim or extend each segment before publishing. According to LinkedIn, the system identifies standout moments almost instantly, including major announcements, key insights, and memorable quotes. Alongside clip generation, the tool also creates chapters within longer recordings, making it easier for viewers to jump to relevant sections instead of scrubbing through an entire replay.

Why LinkedIn Is Investing in Video

The update arrives as LinkedIn leans further into live and short-form video. The platform reported a 24% year-over-year rise in events shared on the app in Q1 2025, and more recently noted a 10% increase in overall content consumption, with short-form video seeing particularly strong growth. Against that backdrop, automated highlight creation gives event hosts a low-effort way to keep audiences engaged well after a livestream ends — turning a single event into a stream of bite-sized promotional content.

LinkedIn confirmed that recommended clips and chapters are now available to all users worldwide, meaning any brand or creator running events on the platform can start using the tool immediately.

The move reflects a broader trend across social platforms, where AI-assisted editing tools are increasingly used to help marketers stretch long-form content further, without requiring dedicated video editing resources or teams.
