Frequently asked questions about LinkedIn in Microsoft apps

I want to see LinkedIn information for others in my Microsoft apps and services, but I don’t want others to see my LinkedIn info. How do I hide my profile?

You’re in control of your account, so you can select if and how others see your LinkedIn information.

Can people see that I have viewed their LinkedIn information on their profile card?

No, they cannot. When you view someone’s LinkedIn information strictly on their profile card in Microsoft apps (for example, Outlook or OneDrive), they will not be notified.

I see LinkedIn information in Microsoft apps but I don’t see a person’s LinkedIn information. Why not? 

If you don’t see a person’s LinkedIn information, it could be because: 

• The person doesn’t have a LinkedIn profile.

• The person's profile visibility setting on LinkedIn doesn't allow profile data to show on Microsoft profile cards. Learn more

What happens when I have different profile information in my Microsoft and LinkedIn profiles? 

Your information on LinkedIn will not replace your information in Microsoft or the other way around. 

For example, let’s say that the title on your LinkedIn profile is “Senior Researcher”, and the title on your work profile is “Sr UX researcher”. In this case, the title on your LinkedIn profile will still show as “Senior Researcher”, and the title on your work profile will still show as “Sr UX researcher”. 

Can I connect my LinkedIn account to several Microsoft work or school accounts? 

Yes, as long as your Microsoft work or school accounts are with different organizations. For example, let’s say you work full-time for Contoso and part-time for Fabrikam. You can connect your LinkedIn account to both work accounts. 

I’ve connected my LinkedIn and Microsoft work accounts, but now I’m leaving my company. What should I do? 

We recommend that you disconnect your accounts when you leave your current work or school.

My LinkedIn profile is mixed up with another email address/I can't link my work or school account to my LinkedIn profile

If your work or school email is linked to a LinkedIn profile that you don't recognize or isn't yours, you can reach out to LinkedIn's support team. They'll help you in separating the accounts, so you can link your work or school email to your LinkedIn profile.
