Can you embed a LinkedIn group on your website?

The three kinds of LinkedIn group

When someone posts inside a group, the post's visibility is Group: LinkedIn's help center says it's visible only to members of the group where it was shared. That's different from a post shared with Anyone, which is the only kind LinkedIn lets you embed.

What you can do instead

• Link to the group. LinkedIn's brand guidelines allow its [in] logo as a hyperlink to your profile, company page or group page. See how to add a LinkedIn icon.
• Write a short landing page: who the group is for, what members discuss and how to join, with a clear Join button.
• Share highlights publicly. Post a summary of a good discussion from your profile or company page with visibility set to Anyone. Public posts can be embedded one at a time or shown in a feed widget.

Don't screenshot or copy posts from a private group onto a public website. Members posted them for the group only, and LinkedIn's User Agreement asks members not to copy or distribute other people's posts without permission.

Can a widget show a group?

LinkedInEmbed builds widgets from LinkedIn profiles and company pages only, and shows only publicly available content, so groups aren't supported. If your group is run by a company, the company's public page posts are the closest substitute: see embed LinkedIn company page posts.

If you run the group

Group owners choose the group's type. If you want discussions to be readable by non-members, LinkedIn's help center describes public groups, where anyone on or off LinkedIn can view what members post and share. Think carefully before you go that way: members often share more openly in a private group, and they joined under its rules.

For your website, the most reliable approach is usually a regular public post from your own profile or company page that sums up the best discussions, plus a clear link for people who want to join the conversation in the group itself.
