Most of you are using Microsoft Outlook online as well as the Outlook desktop version for email communications, managing your calendar, and storing files on Onedrive.
Being a professional, you must also be using LinkedIn to keep yourself updated with the industry and your colleagues. In this article, I will explain how we can connect your outlook.com account with LinkedIn so that you will be able to get the LinkedIn information of the person who is sending you the email whenever you get an email.
For this purpose, you need to connect your LinkedIn account with your outlook account. Follow the following steps to link your outlook account with a LinkedIn account.
Go to outlook.com and log in with your username and password.
Once you are logged in, click on the people icon in the left options bar.
This will open the people section and this will display the list of people / contacts added to your account.
Click any of the contacts whose email address is saved with the contact.
On the right side of the windows, click on the LinkedIn tab.
This will ask you to connect your LinkedIn account.
Click on Yes, let’s go.
On the new pop-up windows, Microsoft will give you the notification View LinkedIn profiles within outlook.
Click on Continue to LinkedIn.
