LinkedIn Carousel Outline From Your Meeting Notes

Your Meetings Are Full of Content Gold

Think about your last strategy session. The insights shared. The decisions made. The "aha" moments.

All of it stays locked in meeting notes that nobody reads again.

LinkedIn carousels are the most-saved content format on the platform. And your meeting notes contain exactly the kind of structured insights that make great carousels.

Why Meeting Notes Make Great Carousels

They're Already Structured

Meetings naturally produce bullet points, decisions, and action items. That structure translates directly to slides.

They Contain Real Insights

Not theoretical advice—actual discussions about real problems. Authenticity resonates.

They're Unique to You

No one else was in that meeting. The content is automatically differentiated.

They're Already Written

You're not starting from scratch. You're reformatting existing material.

The Anatomy of a Great LinkedIn Carousel

Slide 1: The Hook

This is your headline. It must stop the scroll. Promise value, create curiosity, or make a bold claim.

• "8 decisions from our strategy meeting that changed everything"
• "What we learned from 3 hours of customer interviews"
• "The framework that came out of our worst retrospective"

Slides 2-9: One Insight Per Slide

Each slide should be scannable in 3 seconds. One idea. Short sentences. Large text.

Don't try to cram everything. Select the 6-8 most valuable points.

Final Slide: The CTA

Tell people what to do next. Follow for more? Save this? Comment with their experience?

Which Meetings Make the Best Content

Strategy Sessions

Decisions about direction, priorities, and trade-offs. These show your thinking process.

Customer Calls

Insights from actual users. "What we learned from talking to 20 customers this month." For post format instead of carousel, try our customer call to social posts tool.

Retrospectives

What went well, what didn't, what you'll change. Vulnerability builds connection.

Brainstorms

The ideas that came out of the session, especially the unexpected ones. "We started talking about X and ended up with Y."

Leadership Discussions

How you think about tough decisions. "The debate we had about [topic]."

From Notes to Slides: The Process

1. Dump Everything

Paste your raw notes. Don't filter yet. Let the tool see everything.

2. Identify the Thread

What's the main theme or story? A good carousel has a clear throughline.

3. Extract 6-10 Key Points

Not everything interesting—the MOST interesting. Quality over quantity.

4. Sequence for Impact

Start strong, build momentum, end with your best point or a clear takeaway.

5. Design Simply

Take the outline and create clean slides. One font, consistent colors, minimal graphics. Need a great opening line? Use our LinkedIn hook generator.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of meeting notes work best for carousels?

Strategy sessions, brainstorms, retrospectives, and customer calls work best because they contain insights and learnings. Tactical status meetings are less useful unless they include decisions or lessons learned.

How many slides should a LinkedIn carousel have?

8-10 slides is the sweet spot. Enough to provide value, not so many that people lose interest. The first slide must hook attention, and the last should have a clear CTA.

Do I need to design the slides after getting the outline?

Yes, this tool generates the content outline. You'll want to design the slides in Canva, Figma, or similar tools. Keep designs simple—one idea per slide, large readable text, minimal decoration.

How do I make meeting content interesting to people who weren't there?

Focus on the universal insights, not the meeting-specific details. Instead of "In our Q3 planning meeting," say "How we think about quarterly priorities." Extract the principle, not the specific instance.
