Use this interactive demo to learn how to enable auto-captions on your LinkedIn video posts.

Quick summary

LinkedIn lets you add captions to videos directly in the post editor using the built-in auto caption feature. Enabling captions before publishing improves accessibility and increases video engagement in the LinkedIn feed.

Steps

On your dashboard, go to the post creation box and click 'Video'.
Select your video to upload, then click 'Open'.
Once uploaded, go to the bottom of the editor box and click the 'CC' icon.
Turn 'ON' auto caption and click 'Apply'.
Once done, click 'Next'.
Finalize your video post and click the 'Post' button to share it on your feed.

📌 Why this matters

Adding captions to LinkedIn videos is essential for accessibility and audience reach, as a significant share of users watch videos without sound. LinkedIn's built-in auto caption feature lets creators enable captions in seconds directly from the post editor — no third-party tools required. Captioned videos consistently outperform non-captioned ones in watch time and engagement, making this a simple but high-impact step for any LinkedIn content strategy.
