# Connect Descript to LinkedIn
> Link your Squadcast and Descript accounts to share billing and import recordings.
Link your Descript account to LinkedIn to add a capability statement to your profile. Your level reflects your experience, from active user to advanced editor.
Based on your activity, Descript assigns you a capability level and adds a corresponding statement to your LinkedIn profile. As you use more of Descript's editing tools, your level can upgrade automatically.
**Verified Skills is now Capabilities**
This feature was previously called Verified Skills.
## How it works
Descript automatically tracks your use of editing features across your projects. When you meet the requirements for a capability level, you'll see an in-app notification with the option to add the capability to your LinkedIn profile.
## Capability levels
Descript assigns the highest level you qualify for:
| Level | Statement |
| ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **1** | Delivers polished videos ready for publication. Handles editing, pacing, and audio cleanup. |
| **2** | Enhances productions with effects, corrections, and visual refinements. |
| **3** | Depth across the full editing toolkit. Handles complex projects comfortably. |
## Connect your LinkedIn account
When you qualify for a capability, you'll see a notification in Descript the next time you log in.
Follow the prompt to securely connect Descript to LinkedIn. Your capability is added automatically to your LinkedIn profile.
## Manage your connection
Manage your LinkedIn connection from **Settings → Connected Apps → LinkedIn**:
* **View your current capabilities** to see which levels you've earned.
* **Connect or disconnect** your LinkedIn account. Disconnecting removes the capability from your LinkedIn profile.
## Privacy and your data
**What we share with LinkedIn**
We only share the capability name and level you've earned. We don't share your projects, workspace activity, usage data, or any other information about your work in Descript.
Someone viewing your LinkedIn profile can see your capability level, but they can't see which videos you edited, what features you used, or any details about your work.
**Your LinkedIn privacy settings**
Connecting Descript to your profile doesn't change any of your existing LinkedIn privacy settings. You control who sees your profile via your LinkedIn settings.
**Account security**
We use LinkedIn's secure OAuth authentication system to connect your accounts. Descript can only add capabilities to your profile — we can't post on your behalf, access your connections, or view any other LinkedIn data.
