How to choose for LinkedIn Feed videos
Shoot 1080p and go vertical (9:16) or square (1:1) — vertical now lands in LinkedIn's dedicated video feed, and square still claims ~78% more in-feed space than 16:9 on mobile, where most LinkedIn video plays happen. Avoid plain 16:9 for native posts. 30 fps fits LinkedIn's professional, talking-head-heavy content; 60 fps is overkill outside niche product demos.
Best practices
- 01Vertical (9:16) is now surfaced in LinkedIn's dedicated video feed; square (1:1) still takes ~78% more in-feed real estate than 16:9 on mobile — avoid plain 16:9 for native posts.
- 02Add an SRT caption file at upload — LinkedIn's auto-captions are good but a hand-edited SRT makes a stronger first impression.
- 03Open with a 2-line hook in the post body; LinkedIn truncates with a 'see more' fold around character 140 on mobile.
- 04Keep the video under 90 seconds for the highest completion rate; LinkedIn weights completion heavily in distribution.
- 05Tag 1–3 relevant people or companies (sparingly) — over-tagging suppresses reach.
