You can add closed captions when you share a video on LinkedIn, using the desktop experience. You must have an associated SRT (SubRip Subtitle) file attached to the video before it can be posted.
Note: Closed captions can be added to videos posted either by personal accounts or LinkedIn Pages.
To add closed captions to a video:
-
From the share box at the top of your LinkedIn homepage (desktop experience), click the
Video icon. -
In the pop-up that appears, click Select video to share.
-
Select the video you’d like to share from your desktop.
-
From the video preview that appears, click
Edit in the top right corner to view your video’s settings. -
Click Select Caption to attach a SRT file and confirm your selection.
-
Add any additional text or hashtags and click Post.
- Once the video is uploaded, processed, and ready to view, you will get a notification. The closed captioning will be viewable at that time.
