LinkedIn Video Length Tips
Keep videos between 30 seconds and 2 minutes
LinkedIn's own data shows that videos between 30 seconds and 2 minutes receive the highest engagement. This range is long enough to share a meaningful insight without losing busy professionals.
Maximum upload length is 15 minutes
LinkedIn allows native video uploads up to 15 minutes long. Videos longer than 2 minutes are possible but see declining engagement rates, especially on mobile.
Add captions for silent viewing
Over 80% of LinkedIn videos are watched without sound during work hours. Burned-in captions or LinkedIn's auto-caption feature ensure your message reaches viewers in office settings.
Square and vertical formats work best
Square (1080 x 1080px) and vertical (1080 x 1920px) videos take up more space in the LinkedIn feed than landscape. Use portrait format for mobile-first viewing.
Stay under 5GB file size
LinkedIn accepts video files up to 5GB in MP4 format. For faster uploads and processing, compress videos to under 500MB using H.264 encoding at 1080p resolution.
