In an interesting move akin to TikTok, LinkedIn stated that it is working on a feature that we are all familiar with: short movies, often known as "reels."

The business also informed TechRadar that videos are its consumers' preferred learning medium, therefore the feature is being evaluated to ensure that users can easily access relevant films.

According to the source, the feature is now in the early stages of testing and will be unavailable to the majority of users.
Rhea Freeman, a social media analyst, said she is not surprised that LinkedIn is experimenting with short-form videos, which she feels would appeal to younger users.

She went on to tell the Daily Mail: "It is a trend that has swept social media platforms and gained popularity," adding that "if this leads to an increase in the time people spend on LinkedIn, this is a win for the company."

At its core, the introduction of short video streaming represents more than just a technological advancement; it also represents a cultural shift within the LinkedIn community, and as professionals recognize the power of visual storytelling, the platform transforms into a hub for creativity, collaboration, and collaborative learning.
