# Share a dashboard as a video or LinkedIn carousel

> Turn a Mammoth dashboard into an MP4 video or a LinkedIn carousel to post, and control how its link previews in Slack, LinkedIn and WordPress.
>
> Applies to: Roles: Editors of the dashboard (members of its project). Where: Dashboard editor › Share › More ways to share

The **More ways to share** section of a published dashboard's **Share** panel sets how the board's link previews and turns it into a video; its **Download** group (PDF, PNG, PowerPoint) is covered in [Download a dashboard](https://mammoth.io/docs/learn/dashboards/download-a-dashboard/). A carousel for LinkedIn comes from the caret next to **Publish**. To publish the dashboard first, see [Publish and share a dashboard](https://mammoth.io/docs/learn/share-and-export/share-a-dashboard/).

## Control the link preview in Slack, LinkedIn and WordPress

The **Link preview** row ("How the link looks in Slack and LinkedIn") expands to show the card Slack and LinkedIn draw when someone pastes your link. It shows "layout and theme only, never your data."

Sites that read oEmbed, such as WordPress and Ghost, can show the live board instead. A note under the link tells you which you get:

| Your settings | What WordPress and Ghost show |
| --- | --- |
| **Anyone with the link**, and embed framing set to **Any site** | The live board ("the same link shows the live board") |
| Embed framing set to **Only these sites** | A card ("you've limited which sites can frame this board") |
| Any access other than **Anyone with the link** | A card ("a key or per-viewer token can't travel in a pasted link") |

## Share a dashboard as a video

For a published motion story, **Share as video** records one full sweep of the story as a silent MP4.

1. Pick a **Video frame**:

| Frame | Made for | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **16:9** | YouTube · slides | "For YouTube, slides, websites and email. Plays small in a phone feed." |
| **1:1** | Any feed · X | "Plays uncropped in any feed, X included." |
| **4:5** (**Best for posts**, the default) | LinkedIn · Instagram | Fills the most of a phone screen in the LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook feeds, never cropped |
| **9:16** | Reels · Shorts | "Full screen in Reels, Stories, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. A normal feed crops it." |

2. Click **Generate video**. Progress reads "Starting up…", "Capturing frames 120 / 360…", then "Encoding…". You can close the panel and the video keeps going, but you can't change the frame while it renders.
3. Check the preview ("15s · 1920×1080 · 8.4 MB") and click **Download MP4**.

To post it on LinkedIn, upload the video to your post (not as a link), then paste your share link in the post text.

If you change the story, the panel says "Video is from a previous version of this story"; click **Regenerate**. If it fails, you see "Video generation failed." with **Try again**.

## Turn a dashboard into a LinkedIn carousel

1. In the editor, open the caret next to **Publish** and choose **Share as carousel…**.
2. The **Share as a carousel** dialog shows the cards: "6 cards at 1080×1350, sized for a LinkedIn carousel. One claim per card." The last card is "The board, and a link back to it". Click **Why only 6 cards?** to see why some were left out.
3. Click **Download carousel**.

The menu item is greyed out, with the reason on hover, when a board has no story to tell: "There isn't a story to tell here yet. A carousel needs a measure that changes over time, or a breakdown where one group clearly leads." It reads "Still loading this board." while the board loads. On sample data, every card says the numbers are demo numbers.
