Captions for LinkedIn video
LinkedIn is the one platform here where a caption file is a real option: it lets you attach an SRT when you post from a computer. It also lists 4:5 as its recommended vertical shape, which takes more of the feed than a wide video. Captik exports both the 4:5 video and the SRT, so you can choose per post.
Free to try, no card. Any video, any size.
What LinkedIn puts over your video
- The post text and your name sit outside the video, not over it
- Player controls appear along the bottom when someone taps or hovers
- 4:5, up to 1080 x 1350 LinkedIn video ad specs
- 9:16, up to 1080 x 1920 LinkedIn video ad specs
- SRT, attached when posting from a computer LinkedIn Help
Set it up in Captik
Set the frame to 4:5
Switch the shape above the preview. Check the speaker’s head and the caption again, because the sides of a vertical clip get cut.
Choose burned in, SRT or both
A burned in caption carries your template and shows on every device. An SRT is plain text that viewers can turn off. For a business talk, a clean template and an SRT both work.
Use the English translation for mixed audiences
If you speak Hindi or another Indian language on camera, English Translation adds a sentence timed version for colleagues who do not speak it.

LinkedIn video captions, answered
Can I add an SRT from the LinkedIn phone app?
LinkedIn’s help page only describes attaching a caption file on the desktop site, so plan on a computer. A burned in caption needs no extra step anywhere.
Does LinkedIn keep my template when I upload an SRT?
No. LinkedIn draws an SRT in its own plain style. To keep a template, burn the captions into the video.
