Questions + Answers

1. Do LinkedIn videos have subtitles?

Yes, LinkedIn videos can include subtitles. Adding subtitles helps make your content more accessible and engaging, especially for viewers who watch videos without sound. You can upload videos with embedded subtitles or use LinkedIn’s native video editing tools to add captions after uploading. Subtitles can enhance viewer understanding and retention of your message.

2. What format are LinkedIn subtitles?

LinkedIn supports subtitles in the following formats:

  1. SRT (SubRip Subtitle): A plain text file that contains time codes and corresponding subtitle text.
  2. VTT (WebVTT): Similar to SRT, but supports additional styling and formatting options.

When uploading videos, you can add subtitles by uploading an SRT or VTT file alongside your video to ensure accurate timing and display.
