How to schedule LinkedIn posts for free: native steps, company pages and Postdom

On this page
Here's how to schedule LinkedIn posts: write the post in LinkedIn's composer, open the clock control, choose a date and time inside LinkedIn's stated window, then confirm. If you'd rather not make the posts at all, Postdom turns your website into LinkedIn videos in your brand and schedules the ones you approve.
Three ways to schedule LinkedIn posts:
- Postdom: best when you want the posts made for you. Paste your website, approve what you like, and Postdom schedules it to LinkedIn and your other accounts.
- LinkedIn's composer: best when you've written one post and want to pick its time yourself.
- An API or AI agent: best when your own app or agent submits finished videos.
Can you schedule posts on LinkedIn?
Yes. LinkedIn's composer has a clock control that sets a future publish time, from 10 minutes to 3 months ahead, and it's free. LinkedIn states scheduling isn't supported for Events, Jobs or Services posts. Postdom can also make LinkedIn videos from your website and schedule the ones you approve.
How to schedule LinkedIn posts with Postdom
Postdom turns your website into ready-to-post videos, slideshows and single images in your brand. Videos and slideshows publish to LinkedIn, alongside TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, and videos go to YouTube too.
Paste your website
Type your website address. Postdom reads your brand from it: logo, colours, fonts, tone, what you do and who it's for.
Get ready-to-post content
Your For You feed fills with finished videos, slideshows and single images in your brand, using real clips and photos with native text boxes.
Approve, edit or skip
Nothing posts until you approve it. At your first approval, Postdom asks where it should post and you connect your account.
Postdom schedules what you approve
Approved posts are scheduled for you in your time zone, with quiet hours overnight. Every approve, edit and skip shapes the next posts.

How to schedule a post on LinkedIn
Here's how to schedule a post on LinkedIn in your browser. You need your LinkedIn login and the post ready to write. LinkedIn documents a clock control in its composer that sets a future publish time.
Start the post in LinkedIn
Choose Start a post from the top of your LinkedIn homepage and write the post in the composer.
Open the clock control and pick a time
Select the clock icon in the composer, then choose the date and time. LinkedIn states the time selected must be within 10 minutes to 3 months from the current time.
Confirm, then check it landed in the scheduled list
Select Next and then Schedule. Reopen the clock control and choose View all scheduled posts to confirm the post, account and time.
Change or remove it deliberately
From the scheduled list, use the More icon to Modify schedule or Edit post. Change the original rather than writing a second copy.
LinkedIn states scheduling is not supported for Events, Jobs or Services posts. Procedure source: LinkedIn's Schedule posts help article, which LinkedIn labels two years old, so use the controls your current screen shows.
How to schedule posts on LinkedIn
Scheduling posts on LinkedIn means saving a post with a future publish time, either in LinkedIn's composer or through a tool. With Postdom, the post is made for you and scheduled when you approve it.
How to schedule posts on LinkedIn company page
LinkedIn's help article doesn't say whether its scheduler is scoped to a member profile, a Page, or both. If you're a Page admin, start the post from the Page's admin view; if the clock control appears in that composer, the same steps apply. In Postdom, you connect the LinkedIn account you want it to post to, and approved posts go there.
Do scheduled posts do well on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn hasn't published any penalty for scheduled posts. A scheduled post goes out as a normal post at the time you set, so what it says and whether your audience is online matter more than how it was posted. Our guide to the best time to post on LinkedIn shows when to set it.
Tips for scheduling LinkedIn posts
- Batch a week at once. Write or approve the week's posts in one sitting, then check the scheduled list on Friday.
- Leave room for news. Keep one slot a week free for something timely, rather than filling every day ahead.
- Check the account before you schedule. Profile and Page posts reach different people, so pick the one you mean.
- Edit the original. Use Modify schedule or Edit post from the scheduled list instead of writing a second copy.
- Reply after it goes out. Scheduling saves the posting step, not the conversation, so check comments once it's live.
Schedule a supplied video with an API or agent
Through an API or agent, Postdom publishes finished videos you supply to TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, Facebook Reels, X, Snapchat Stories, Threads and Bluesky. Postdom sends no LinkedIn-specific settings on this path, so the post uses whatever audience your LinkedIn account applies by default. Follow the MCP connection guide first.
Two LinkedIn video facts are worth knowing before you supply a file. Postdom accepts video/mp4 for LinkedIn, which is enforced on the publish path — LinkedIn’s Pages specification withdraws the other formats in those words. The file-size figure LinkedIn publishes is a recommendation rather than a gate here, because Postdom’s own global cap sits an order of magnitude below it. Official source; checked .
What LinkedIn reports back
Postdom reports completed publishing work with evidence for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Facebook Reels, and X. LinkedIn is not in that list, so LinkedIn metrics are shown as unavailable with the reason, never as zero. See how availability is recorded.
If a scheduled LinkedIn post does not appear
| What you see | What to do next |
|---|---|
| No clock control in the composer | Check the post type first. LinkedIn states scheduling is not supported for Events, Jobs or Services. |
| The time you want is refused | LinkedIn states the time must be within 10 minutes to 3 months from now, rounded to the nearest interval. |
| Postdom: waiting for approval | Open the post and approve it. A requested time does not bypass approval. |
| Postdom: missed its time | Pick a new time or post it now. Do not quietly backfill a time-sensitive post. |
| Postdom: failed or partial | Keep the error and open the post's run before retrying. Partial means some destinations succeeded. |
