LinkedIn video editing guide

Short answer

LinkedIn accepts several aspect ratios, and creators test vertical and widescreen. Caption every video, since many people watch with the sound off, open with the point and keep it useful rather than promotional. Maximum length and file size change and sources disagree, so check LinkedIn's help pages.

What should you decide?

Choice	Guidance
Format	Test vertical 9:16 and widescreen 16:9
Captions	Always
Tone	Useful and specific, in your own voice
Length	Check LinkedIn's current limits

LinkedIn changes its limits and layouts, so this page states only specs that stay stable. Confirm current limits on LinkedIn's own help pages. Reviewed 14 Nov 2026.
