To get customer support on LinkedIn, you'll need to go online to the company's help center.
- To contact LinkedIn customer support, you'll have to go through their online Help Center, as the company doesn't offer direct contact with a customer support team by phone.
- LinkedIn has several phone numbers you can call, but all you'll be met with are recordings that direct you to the Help Center, or tell you where the company campus is located.
- For issues not addressed in LinkedIn's Help Center, you can ask original questions to other users via the LinkedIn Help Forum.
- Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

And that's understandable, given that there are more than half a billion people using LinkedIn, and more than 260 million of them do so on a regular basis - their customer support team would be absolutely overwhelmed.
