LinkedIn Screenshot: How to Screenshot LinkedIn on PC/Mobile

LinkedIn, the world's biggest professional network on the internet, has been the go-to platform for professional networking, personal branding, or career growth whether you are a seasoned professional, a recent graduate, or anyone in between. When you scroll through LinkedIn and find an interesting post you want to save for future reference or share with others, taking a screenshot is the easiest solution, but does LinkedIn notify screenshots? This article from EaseUS will answer whether LinkedIn detected this screenshot and how to take screenshots on LinkedIn.

Does LinkedIn Notify of Screenshots

First, let's answer the question: Does LinkedIn show screenshots or notify screenshots?

NO. LinkedIn will not notify users if someone takes screenshots of their content or any profile, post, story, or conversation. No alert or other type of notification is sent to the content creator when a screenshot is taken on LinkedIn.

Computers do not tell the program on the screen when taking screenshots. This means LinkedIn does not know when someone is taking a screenshot because your browser doesn't know. It is impossible to determine whether a reader has taken a screenshot of LinkedIn or any other website.

LinkedIn, one of the best alternatives to Tumblr, emphasizes the protection of users' data and privacy. As far as screenshots are concerned, there are no restrictions or notifications about the same.
