Key takeaways
- LinkedIn video posts can be scheduled both natively in LinkedIn’s own composer and through third-party tools.
- LinkedIn polls cannot be scheduled at all — LinkedIn does not expose poll scheduling natively or through its API, so polls must be posted live.
- Because poll scheduling is a platform limitation, no third-party tool, including SkedCast, can work around it.
- A practical workaround is scheduling a reminder to post the poll manually at the intended time, since the poll itself cannot be queued.
Schedule LinkedIn video posts: scheduling LinkedIn video
LinkedIn video posts support scheduling both through LinkedIn’s own native composer — which has a built-in schedule option for personal profiles and Company Pages — and through third-party tools connected via the LinkedIn API. Either route works the same way any scheduled post does: upload, caption, set a time.
Why polls cannot be scheduled
LinkedIn polls are the exception. LinkedIn does not offer poll scheduling in its native composer, and its API does not expose a way for third-party tools to schedule one either. This is a platform-level limitation, not a gap in any specific scheduler — a LinkedIn poll always has to be created and published live, in the moment, whether through the app or LinkedIn’s website.
Planning around the poll limitation
If polls are part of your regular content mix, the practical approach is to schedule a reminder for yourself at the intended time rather than expecting the poll itself to queue — some schedulers offer this as a lightweight "task" or "reminder" entry alongside their normal scheduled posts.
FAQ
- Can any tool schedule a LinkedIn poll to post automatically?
- No — this is a LinkedIn platform limitation, not a specific tool’s gap. LinkedIn does not expose poll scheduling natively or through its API, so no third-party scheduler, including SkedCast, can queue a poll to post automatically.
- Is scheduling LinkedIn video different from scheduling a text post?
- The composer flow is the same — upload the video, write the caption, set a time — whether you use LinkedIn’s own native scheduler or a connected third-party tool.
