- [Instructor] If you are a LinkedIn member
you can leverage your relationships on LinkedIn
and connect them to your contacts here in Microsoft Outlook.
It's super easy.
Let me show you how you do this.
First you have to have a LinkedIn account
but with any contact, click on LinkedIn
and then click Connect your account.
You'll be taken
to a webpage that says your organization is
giving you the power
of LinkedIn within Office 365 Exchange online.
The other page would say
your organization doesn't allow this, but ours does.
So I can continue to LinkedIn.
I can log into LinkedIn and it says,
first connect your LinkedIn account
with Microsoft apps at KinetEco.
Make sure this is you.
Click accept.
So it says You're now connected.
You'll get more personalized suggestions
on LinkedIn and new insights in Office.
You simply click, got it.
And we can actually close this window
and return back to Outlook rather than Outlook on the web.
So now if I choose someone else, for example
Aaron Quigley who's a contact
and I go to his LinkedIn page
it actually knows exactly who he is and it displays him.
Now, it could be
that the person who I'm looking up, for example, Reggie Tupp
when I go to LinkedIn, it can't find him, but it does.
And it says, is this the person you're talking about?
Yep, administrative assistant at KinetEco
and I'm going to choose him.
And now his information also has been loaded
into his contact.
And as his information changes, for example
his experience or his skills or endorsements
it will also change here as well.
So two steps.
First, make the connection between Outlook
and LinkedIn and then on a contact by contact basis
make sure that you are choosing the correct person.
For example, Rob Molina.
If I go to LinkedIn
it finds exactly him because there was enough information
in the contact, including his employer.
But for other people, you may have to go
through a list of folks and make sure
that you're choosing the right LinkedIn profile
to match your Outlook contact.
