Connecting and Disconnecting your LinkedIn account on SlideShare.

If you are setting up a personal SlideShare account, you can create a new account by using the LinkedIn sign up link here:  www.slideshare.net/signups.  Please note that by creating an account using your LinkedIn or Facebook account, you will not be able to choose a username. 

If you would like to have a specific username, please fill out the fields for username, email address and password at the above link.  Once you have created an account with your chosen username, please connect your LinkedIn account by using the following method:  

Connecting your LinkedIn account through your account settings.

1. Log into the SlideShare account you want to connect to your personal LinkedIn account.

2. Hover over the profile icon at the top right of the page.

3. Select 'Account Settings'

4. Click on 'Connect'

 Connecting your LinkedIn account to an active SlideShare account:

If you have a SlideShare account already set up, here are two ways to connect your LinkedIn account.

1. Through your account settings.
2. By logging in through LinkedIn*

The best way would be to go through your account settings, since this way you know that you are connecting to the correct SlideShare account. 

Using the LinkedIn sign in to create a SlideShare account.

*If your LinkedIn account has a different email address than your SlideShare account you can run into to a few different issues.

1. If you do not already have a SlideShare account, our system will create a new SlideShare account and not connect to the one you have already created.
2. If you already have a SlideShare account that matches your LinkedIn account’s email address, our system will connect your LinkedIn account to that SlideShare account instead.

If you are an Admin for your Company page on LinkedIn or Facebook, our system will not be able to connect to those Company pages.  It will instead connect to your personal LinkedIn account.  This feature might be offered in the future, but it is not currently supported.

When you connect your LinkedIn account to SlideShare, you will not be able to remove this connection yourself.  If you would like to disconnect your LinkedIn account from SlideShare, please get in contact with us as we will have to manually remove the connection for you.
