LinkedIn only lets you send voice messages from the phone app. Bub is a free Chrome extension that sends voice notes and native video from your laptop, right inside LinkedIn. Then clear every DM in one keyboard-first inbox where no follow-up slips.
Go on, try it. This is what Bub adds to LinkedIn's message box.
LinkedIn lets you record voice messages in its app, and nowhere else. So mid-outreach you grab your phone, find the thread, record, and lose your flow. Every single time.
“Just spent hours looking for a tool to do LI voice notes and video and came across Bub. It actually worked and I'm so thankful.”Luke WilliamsonYour message lands in a wall of grey text, right next to the ones they skip. The same font, the same bubble, the same scroll past. A voice is the one thing a template can't fake.
“I started using Bub and started getting responses. It really works.”Vibha KamathLinkedIn's inbox has no reminders, no split inboxes, no snippets. So the reply that mattered sinks under the ones that didn't, and the deal quietly goes cold.
A tiny bird who lives in your LinkedIn message box. Voice notes, video and snippets inside LinkedIn, plus an inbox built for the way you actually work.
Press ⌘⇧V in any LinkedIn chat, talk, and send. It arrives as a real LinkedIn voice message, the same kind their phone plays, right in their inbox.
Record your camera, your screen, or both with your face in a bubble. It plays right inside the conversation. No link to click, no app to open.

Ha, a voice note! Love it. Thursday works.
Can you send that walkthrough over?
We're reviewing vendors next week.
Thanks for the intro!
Following up on our call…
Happy to connect.
Helpful, not creepy. Here is exactly what Bub does and doesn’t do with your LinkedIn.
Your DMs, connections, invites and profiles load from LinkedIn straight into your browser and stay on your device. Bub's servers never see them.
Bub never sends, archives, accepts or connects on its own. Every action on LinkedIn happens because you clicked or pressed a key.
Bub works through the LinkedIn you're already signed into. No passwords, no proxies, and your LinkedIn cookies never leave your machine.
Only what you make in Bub, like labels, notes, snippets and reminder times, so they follow you to any computer. Plus counts, never the messages.
Founders, SDRs, recruiters, anyone doing their own outreach. Everything you reach for, one key away.
Hot leads, clients, candidates. Each label gets its own LinkedIn inbox, so the conversations that matter never share a list with the noise.
Read the guide →Press H. The chat leaves your inbox and comes back exactly when it's time to follow up, so no LinkedIn follow-up slips.
Read the guide →Your best LinkedIn messages and saved replies, one keystroke away.
Read the guide →Jump to any chat, label or action without leaving the keyboard.
Context right next to the chat, so every follow-up picks up where you left off.
Your hands never leave home row. There's a key for every move, and ⌘K for everything else.
Read the guide →New messages and typing show up the moment they happen, and LinkedIn's own message box gets voice, video and snippets too.
Finally a way to send voice notes on LinkedIn from my laptop lol. Been using it every day for my outreach. Asked the dev for one small feature and he actually added it within a week. Super handy, recommend it if you send a lot of voice notes.

Yes. LinkedIn only lets you record voice messages in its mobile app. Bub is a free Chrome extension that adds a record button to LinkedIn's message box on your computer, so you can send a native voice message from your laptop, no phone needed. Notes can be up to 60 seconds.
Yes. Record your camera, your screen, or both, and Bub drops it into the chat as a native video that plays inside the DM. Unlike Loom, there's no link to paste and no viewer page. The video lives in the LinkedIn message itself.
Up to 60 seconds. That's LinkedIn's limit for voice messages, on the phone app and with Bub on desktop. For anything longer, send a video instead: Bub records up to 15 minutes, and it plays right inside the DM.
No. We never log in to your LinkedIn account, never ask for your password, and never use proxies. Bub works through the LinkedIn you're already signed into in your own browser, so every message goes out exactly as if you'd sent it from LinkedIn yourself. That's what makes Bub one of the safest LinkedIn tools you can use. Sign out of LinkedIn in your browser and Bub simply stops until you sign back in.
LinkedIn restricts automation and scraping: bots that auto-connect, mass-message or harvest profiles. Bub does none of that. It adds tools to your message box and inbox, and you press send on everything, exactly like normal LinkedIn use.
No. Your messages, connections, invites and profile info are read from LinkedIn inside your own browser and kept on your device. They never reach Bub's servers. We only save what you create in Bub (labels, notes, snippets and reminder times) so it follows you to any computer, plus counts like "sent 12 messages today", never the messages themselves.
No. Bub never sends a message, archives a chat, accepts an invite or connects with anyone on its own. Every action on LinkedIn happens only when you click a button or press a key. The only thing running in the background is a quiet check for new messages so Bub can show you a notification, and you can turn that off in Settings.
A fast, keyboard-first inbox for your LinkedIn messages. Split it into inboxes by label, set reminders so follow-ups come back on time, use snippets, and move through it all with the keyboard. It's part of Bub Pro, with a 14-day free trial.
Yes, that's the Bub inbox. It's a fast, keyboard-first inbox for your LinkedIn messages: split inboxes by label, follow-up reminders, snippets, notes on people, a key for every move and ⌘K for everything. Try it free for 14 days, no card needed.
Set a reminder on the chat. In the Bub inbox, press H on any conversation and pick when. The chat leaves your inbox and comes back at the top at that time, so you follow up on time. The "Waiting for their reply" view shows every chat where the next move is theirs.
Yes. LinkedIn messaging only has a few fixed filters, but in the Bub inbox you can add your own labels to any conversation with L, like prospects, clients or candidates. Each label can become its own split inbox, so the chats that matter never get buried.
Bub works in LinkedIn messaging on linkedin.com: voice notes, video and snippets in every chat, plus the Bub inbox. Sales Navigator's own message box isn't supported, so send from LinkedIn messaging or your Bub inbox instead.
The Bub extension is free, always. Send unlimited voice notes, videos and snippets right inside LinkedIn, no card, no catch. The Bub inbox is Bub Pro: try it free for 14 days, no card needed, then it's $15 per LinkedIn inbox a month, billed yearly, or $35 monthly. Teammates are free.
You pay for each LinkedIn account that uses the Bub inbox, not for each person. One inbox is one LinkedIn account. Buy 3, and any 3 LinkedIn accounts in your workspace can use the Bub inbox. Switch which ones whenever you like.
Yes, and teammates are free. Invite as many people as you like to your workspace. Everyone signs in with their own email, uses the LinkedIn inboxes your workspace pays for, and shares the same snippets.
Nothing is lost. Your labels, notes, snippets and reminders stay saved, and the extension keeps working in LinkedIn. Pick a plan whenever you're ready and your inbox opens right where you left it.
