LinkedIn carousels from conference talks
Carousels that break down a smart idea perform well on LinkedIn, but making one from a 40-minute talk takes hours.
This workflow pulls the strongest ideas out of the talk, lays them out one per slide, and writes the post copy, with the speaker credited and every point linked to its moment.
Uses the free YouTube to Case Study skill · No coding needed
What you'll end up with

How to do it
- 1

Tips

FAQ
Is it okay to post someone else's ideas?+
Summarizing and crediting a public talk is common practice. Add your own take, keep quotes short, and link the source.
Can I change the design?+
Yes. Ask for different wording, fewer slides, or a different angle. The template keeps it clean and readable.
