The feature wasn’t being used the way LinkedIn expected, with users wanting videos to remain on their platform instead of disappearing.
Microsoft’s LinkedIn jumped on the « creators » bandwagon early last year, adding « stories » to its platform as a way to share quick video updates. But due to a lack of interest, the site will see stories removed by the end of the month. « We introduced stories last year as a fun and casual way to share quick video updates. We’ve learned a ton. Now, we’re taking those learnings to evolve the stories format into a reimagined video experience across LinkedIn that’s even richer and more conversational, » LinkedIn senior director of product Liz Li said in a blog post. « We want to embrace mixed media and creative tools of stories in a consistent way across our platform, while working to integrate it more tightly with your professional identity.
